Only bitcoin purchase I regret this year is a futurebit node. On paper it seemed like a good idea but mine was dead by the end of this year and I was underwhelmed by what it could do. Hope the new update is more useful, but imo the amount you get from mining and the fact its only a full node is a joke for the price. To add lightning to it would be worse (considering the hardware). I dont think this direction will work unless you guys come up with something different that adds value. Like a space heater, air purifier, or some other value added benefit besides mining and a full node. I could also see small nodes/ lightning nodes being good for a business to verify there btc received. Just dont see the node for the home thing value adding when there are way cheaper options that are more reliable. @futurebit
