In case someone wants to build bitcoin nodes as beginner! Do you see bitcoin core as a good software to support the running of the node? A friend of is asking which kind of electronics device can absorb the node system without crashing the whole process. Personally I don't have much knowledge about it but I know we have the gigantic gurus of technostructure that can help out here. So your knowledge is needed here.
First he need to know the right tools to use, another things is to know how to use those tools, followed by assets to funds those tools. Another things is what's the reason for your friend to start up a node? not my concern though, but maybe he might have had the wrong idea regarding running a node, if it's purpose is to make much gain out of it. He should probably consider buying and storing some crypto rather than spending those money for the main time.
Until he understands the full system and how the blockchain works.
