Agree with szarka - bitaxe is fun and a great learning tool for those that want to understand mining a little bit more: solo mining (public-pool.io), pool mining (ocean.xyz), firmware upgrades, over/under clock, hash rate and efficiency - all part of running any size mining setup.
A bitaxe makes a nice conversation piece as well.
Running a node is fun in a different way - IMO it’s more of a ’software experience’ - connecting your wallet (sparrowwallet.com, zeusln.com, etc) to the node, managing lightning channels and running a server. Start9.com makes great node software (DIY) and complete hardware packages.
Not sure there is progression other than possibly:
- get your coins off the exchanges
- secure your seed phrase(s)
- secure your coins with a hardware wallet
Eventually:
- run a node and/or run a miner
#bitaxe makes running a miner at home a realistic option for many and that wasn’t always feasible before. It is a great learning tool on top of that.
