### 💡 Pro Tip
-Old enterprise servers (Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant) can make excellent farming nodes at low cost. Check eBay and local liquidators.
+Start with one node to learn the system before scaling up. Power efficiency matters more than raw performance - a modern low-power node often earns more than an older high-power one due to electricity costs.
