RE: Optimizing network power usage

Man you may have inspired me to look into running a Hive node.
When it comes to machines, I like the Pi for things like Presearch nodes and even network ad blocking because I have a dood who LOVES programming them. As a business, we have been selling those mini pcs a few years now and they are fantastic when you are not a gamer like you say. One step further than that is a chrome book for business users who only use web apps. If they have thick client stuff, I almost don't want to support them anymore and have had zero issues with chrome books despite resisting that.
Anyhow, those mini PCs are fantastic and cheap as hell on refurb deals. New hard drive and clean OS must be perfect for a node as long as video card is not an issue.
I may just pick up an additional one next order for a couple hundred and give it a go!
