 Qortal allows the average computer to operate as a full node, although a cheaper and revolutionary concept has emerged: the QORTector and QORTable. The QORTector current hardware device models utilize OrangePi and RaspberryPi boards with a custom kernel that operates on an average 5W power consumption - the equivalent to charging a phone! Comparing that to the dreaded power-hungry ASIC miners of Bitcoin, it becomes apparent how incredible the options are for running a node on the Qortal Network. For those who are technically inclined to do so, the images for the QORTectors are made available for download so you can purchase and configure your OrangePi or RaspberryPi on your own. Currently, there are four boards that have been tried and still need more development: Gen 1) Orange Pi Prime H5, Gen 2) Raspberry Pi 4, Gen 3) Raspberry Pi 3, Gen 4) Orange Pi H6. At this time, the Gen 2 Raspberry Pi4 is the only officially recommended hardware unless folks are more technically inclined and wish to try other hardware.  Qortal allows the average computer to operate as a full node, although a cheaper and revolutionary concept has emerged: the QORTector and QORTable.
