- | 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 utilizes RaspberryPi 4 boards with a custom kernel that operates on an average 5W power consumption - the equivalent to charging a phone! Comparing that to the expensive 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 here: [[Raspberry Pi 4]] | + | Qortal allows the average computer to operate as a full node (Linux, Windows & Mac), although a cheaper and revolutionary concept has emerged: the QORTector and QORTable.
