About to decommission my simple Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB due to utter bullshit.
For the Start9 DIYβers you understood there was a few affordable options to run StartOS and a Bitcoin Stack. Time expired on the latter.
Since the spam, since the bloat⦠the simple solution to node running is becoming obsolete.
At this rate we will be talking 4TB hard drives, juicy CPUβs and a higher demand on your local internet provider for initial downloads and every day operation in the years to come.
All of which is not conducive to node network growth.
When I price out building my own node for the future, letβs say 10 years time the cost is expensive.
I get that technology demand is a thing. I get that change is inevitable and blockchain growth will lead to a larger initial download but why wouldnβt everything we do as a network of plebs focus on the lowest common denominator, the lowest barrier of entry.
Simply put⦠node running will not be for the poors.
The profit of VCβs, spammers, scammers, dishonorable miners and overall bad actors in Bitcoin will have a trade offβ¦. The node network.
We can do better. π«‘
