I want to run a full node but am not sure about the hardware to buy. Ik there's a lot of resources but they are overwhelming for a hardware newbie like me. I'm looking for someone to hop on a call and guide me thru the purchasing options, where to buy them, and how to set it up Reward: 0.022 ETH or 50 USDC @bountybot

latest NUCs 12/13 gen are all fine with i3. Grab a 2TB SSD at least (4TB to future proof) and 32GB RAM. Follow Yorick's great guide to choosing an SSD. Some nuances there you might want to look at. https://gist.github.com/yorickdowne/f3a3e79a573bf35767cd002cc977b038

As someone with a 2TB drive, get 4TB. Mine will be full in about 6 months.

Are you guys using the new auto prune functions? Should last a while

--state.scheme=path (Geth) reduced the disk space considerably, but I'm charting out my usage and my 2TB drive is 75% full now. Should max out in July / August. Geth says "Soon, we will have a path-based state scheme which enables the pruning by default" so that may help?

Yep - I switched to that a few weeks back. It works great! But no pruning? Is it not yet ready, or it is not required? https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/fundamentals/pruning

yep you shouldnt need to prune anymore with geth pbss. 2TB should be fine. this of course doesnt account for dencun and blobspace
