I’ve been looking into ASUS NUCs 👉 ASUS Mini PCs. They’re powerful and upgradable, but…
🔒 Privacy is a concern:
Most Intel and AMD CPUs include:
⚙️ Intel ME / AMT
🛡️ AMD PSP
These allow remote management even when the device is off, which isn't ideal if you're aiming for full control.
🧠 That’s why I’m seriously considering ARM-based devices:
✅ No ME/PSP
✅ Lower power consumption
✅ Simpler, more open design

🤔 Any solid recommendations?

🗂 Basic diagram showing the infrastructure to run a home-based Bitcoin and Lightning node:
🫐 Uses a Raspberry Pi
🐧 Runs Ubuntu Server (directly or via 🖥 VirtualBox)
🐳 Uses Docker to run services
₿ Installs Bitcoin Core
⚡ Runs LND (Lightning Network Daemon)
💻 Managed via Lightning Terminal
🔐 Signs transactions with Coldcard
