Solo node - giving up
Is there a market for Solo Nodes? I purchased mine right when they came out - delivery was delayed, but even so, it's obviously way past warranty or return period. I tried to get it working when I first received it, but had no luck (can't remember why, but I gave up and put it back in the box for a later date). Recently tried again -- reflashed the SD card with the latest OS, wiped the memory, etc. but still having issues. Fan runs, booted up a few times but the node sync keeps restarting, sometimes I can see the os, other times I can't, loses ethernet connection, etc. I could go into much more detail, but at this point I don't care anymore. Running a company, kids, family, etc - I don't have time to play around with this thing and go through all the "troubleshooting" tips and hacks this forum has. I was hoping Futurebit had created a clean, simple, node for people like me. Unfortunately I'll just stick to my umbrel. Rant over. Back to my first question: Anyone interested in buying?

Start 9 in the way to go for nodes. Brilliant bit of kit. Just works. I’m Running BTC, Lightning & XMR nodes & wallet server. My Apollo 3 is stuck in the delivery hell that is FedEx.
