Donate one to a random pleb, #SenslessKindness
A pre-installed and fully synced Parmanode Bitcoin machine
Why ParmanodL instead of a regular Bicoin Node?
- Bitcoin node and clean wallet-computer are all-in-one, making the wallet to node connection easier, more private, and convenient.
- ParmanodL is built with Parmanode software (FOSS), which installs and manages not just Bitcoin Core/Knots, but other associate applications that can be difficult to install/manage/update.
- The communication settings/configurations are managed automatically by Parmanode software.
- In laptop form, the battery acting as a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) to prevent data corruption
- ParmanodL can also solo mine (ParMiner) with the CPU
There is also a special version, the ParmaDrive – it has all the ParmanodL features, but it is primarily a highly secure sovereign private data-server (16TB)
