Starting in January I'm going to be participating in my first internship doing some accounting work. Besides heavily stacking sats, I'm going to treat myself to the new ColdCard Q.

I fucked up.
Few weeks ago I bought a used Intel NUC (originally released in 2015) on Ebay. Figured I'd save some money by DIYing a server for StartOS.

Going forward I'm just going to get new hardware. It's worth the extra money and peace of mind.
I'll be trusting other nodes in the meantime. Fingers crossed.
