Can anyone give me an idea what the minimum hardware requirements are for letting monerod und P2Pool run on the same machine. The machine should only do the managing part not mining.

What are the importand specs? CPU Speed? Ram site? Storage?

Does it even work on something like an old Cubietruck etc?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Btw really happy finding out that the Monero Community also exists on Lemmy.

I have a Intel NUC 7PJYH here which is running 24/7 for the smart home etc. maybe i will first of try if it can handle Smarthome/TVHEad/ and Monerod + P2Pool. While syncing now the CPU usage is quite high

Yeah, it's normal, you can't compare a NUC with a premium Tiny PC.

NUC have budget / low end CPU (In you're case, a Pentium Silver Jxxxx), While these tiny PC have Core i5 or Core i7. Can find model with 8th gen+ at very decent price.

I have found an efficient Fujitsu MoBo and a PicoPSU on the attic and now i am organising a cheap i5-6500T. Should be good for approx. 1300H/s at 30W. As an always on "placeholder" minig to the pool while the sun does not shine.
