[Music] thank you
what's going on everyone welcome RM here and today we're looking at my little node box so
you guys have been asking me what am I using that I'm running my nodes on and that's it this little
guy right here so this is the b-link u59 pro and I did get this sent out to me from b-link
I was actually supposed to be testing hash rates on it I haven't done that yet I've had this for
a few months and I haven't got around to it because I've been using it for probably the
main reason why you would buy one of these things and that is to run nodes for your crypto mining
So currently installed on this node right now I do have a dero note on here I have a Monero node
I also got a yada coin node so this thing is very versatile in terms of nodes it's a four core four
thread Intel CPU now I did want the ryzen ones Intel yes anything mining Intel sucks so again
once I test out the hash rates we'll see what it looks like it's currently run Enduro right now on
this thing and we're running about 13 to 14 watts as you can see here with that node up and running
so it's not using much power I think it'd be great to have a couple of these things you know put them
together maybe label them and then you can stack them on top beside each other whatever and have an
individual one for that node but they do also come in ryzen processes which is the one I originally
wanted but I did get the Intel garbage one instead now this is not garbage for running nodes Intel
is just fine it's just how when it comes to the mining aspect of things you know Intel usually
seems to lack far behind the ryzen counterparts let's just kind of look at the box here so we have
a power button we got a headphones Jack there we do have a USBC and two USB 3 plugs this is where
I actually have my wireless mouse and keyboard plugged into the front here now on the back side
we have two more USB 3 plugs we have two ethernet plugs and two HDMI this does support 4K output
if the that's something you care about but it has plenty of plugs and everything you need to run any
type of nodes especially for all you crypto miners now if you do want the finer details and specs on
this little machine it is an Intel Celeron n5105 CPU it has ddr4 Ram 2933 megahertz it is Wi-Fi
as well it's M2 sata 3 SSD storage it's a 2.9 gigahertz Celeron Processor a Max of 16 gigabytes
three displays two two hdmis and a single USBC two terabytes of M2 status space 4K output Wi-Fi six
600 Mbps it's a 2.9 gigahertz max turbo frequency 10 nanometers 2 gigahertz processor base speed
again four cores four threads 16 gigabytes of max memory there it's got an integrated Graphics I
think that's sitting around eight gigabytes but I'm not sure how that works I think is based on
your RAM there as well it's kind of using some of that now I just call this thing the node box but
this is the node box it's more like a Mini PC I believe it is labeled as the Mini PC and there's
lots of different variations other than b links out there obviously we also got those seed boxes
which is dedicated for flux nodes pre-ready to go pretty much Plug and Play now these things
are plug and play it comes with Windows 11. once I do actually do my hash rate testing I'm thinking
about probably just installing Linux and going with that now there's nothing wrong with Windows
whatsoever when it comes to running nodes mine have been all stable but it just seems like Linux
is probably the better way to go for your nodes so I'm in my capture card now just to give you an
idea of what things are kind of looking like this is my current Duro node that's running so I'm just
going to minus that out we're going to come into our folder here and inside documents that's where
I installed everything we've got my Darrow Windows here we got my [ __ ] here yada coin node and my
Monero node so all my nodes are just sitting out within documents it's pretty straightforward and
basic if I want to run my yada coin node all I got to do is come into here scroll all the way down
and then just begin running that so I'm just going to double click on that we'll let this load for a
minute you can see the added coin nodes kind of starting up but regardless this is easily enough
to run any single node I could probably run a couple at the same time you don't need large Pages
here for random acts so don't think something is having issues at this point by seeing that
but anyway you know this thing will run any node you want this is what I'm using you guys have been
asking me you know what am I using to run my notes Here we can see the node is booting up it's going
to start doing this little sync process it's been a couple days since I had my yada coin node online
so it's going to be going through that so before I started showing you guys how to set up certain
nodes like yada coin you guys have been asking me uh diro I already did a couple videos on setting
that up or even Monero nodes I wanted to show you what I'm actually using to run my nodes on because
that's another big question you guys have brought up so that's what it is it's this u59b link now
I really hope I can get my hands on the horizon and actually a couple more of these little boxes
because I do feel these things are great little tools for us miners if we do want to just jump
on and solo mind something zero percent pool fees solo Mining and just ignore pools altogether so a
lot of us just like to run our own notes and also when it comes to Monero running your own nodes
sending your own transactions and everything throughout your node is the most private and
secure way to use your Monero so that's another reason some of you guys may want to do this all
right guys so there you go a pretty fast pretty basic video not much really going on here it's a
small little mini PC that doesn't use any room very lightweight and you can run any node you
pretty much want on this thing for your crypto mining needs or even run your wall or something
off this so this is what I use thank you for checking this out guys I will have the link in the
description if you want to get something like this for yourself I will see you on the next one RM out
