Ethereum

Using my boost to encourage more people to run a node. It's a cheap side project and made straightforward with @ethereumonarm 

Doesn't have to be crazy, you don't need to be a validator. Just a great way to learn about the tech we all love and believe in.

Contributing to the Ethereum decentralisation by providing OS images that turn ARM64 boards into full Ethereum nodes.

Nothing wild. Buying a recent raspberry pi (or equivalent) with 16gb ram + a decent SSD (this is the more expensive component but worth it for sync speed) is all you need really

This is the second time today i've been told to consider running a node for better understanding of the tech. 
What's the hardware spec to be able to run a node?

Yeah heard good things abt dappnode too. Ran a dedicated pc for a while as well but having done that I think NUCs are def the way to go.

yes! 

I ran @ethereumonarm node geth + nimbus, now upped to a dappnode. but it’s a great way to start. the pi is now doing service as an IPFS node.

Soooooooooo you just finally inspired me to start staking

Finally pulled the trigger

Fascinated.  On the list of education for me!

That's the way, Chun!
And my last DEGEN tip from today is for you!
119 $DEGEN

is this just a normal node or a staking node? (or is it the same meaning?)

agree, 100%. Do you have any suggestion / resource? Also, do you mind to share the hw? Thanks!

Because running a validator requires a vote of current validators... pretty centralized if you ask me.
