today, among other things, we are building the ideal candidate for the lite node, which everyone will be able to run on any hardware, lite node can be used as a store for the treechain (if you have an SSD) or in the simplest version - a signal node, DHT transmitter, and a quick verifier of epoch headers (without heavy proofs)
today we have the following configuration in the tests:
@Raspberry_Pi version 5, 16 gb RAM, IRasptek Kit,
PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (P3 plus, 1TB) and PCIe to M.2 NVM Shield (X1001)
optional: keyboard for PI5 and mini-monitor for it
the results and economics of mining and validation will be published asap
