So I have a mainnet node that runs great on an average Raspberry Pi. I run several nodes with one Pi and a few more on small mini PCs that were also super cheap. Everything can be set up in Kaspad. The requirements mentioned are therefore more of a recommendation - it's like in gaming, if you want to play HD you get the latest graphics card, but it also works with lower settings. 👍
Incidentally, the KHeavyHash should also be mentioned, which is significantly better optimized compared to SHA256 as drive operations are also included.
Kaspa is an incredibly good technology.

First of all, a question: Why on earth do you have several nodes? What's the point?
Kaspa is still a long way from where it wants to be. The more blocks per second, the higher the requirements for nodes and the more expensive it will be to operate them. The more successful this network becomes, the more centralized it will become due to the high hardware requirements.
In the same way, fewer and fewer archive nodes will gradually be operated as the flood of data simply gets out of hand. The entire network will then be dependent on a few nodes that store the entire history.
The optimization of KHeavyHash results in a higher ASIC resistance at the cost of a considerable hash rate. The idea of greater decentralization is a good one, but since energy is only ever available to a limited extent at a central location, I see this as more of a disadvantage.
Important: I don't want to badmouth Kaspa to anyone. These are just my thoughts. If I'm wrong, I'm always happy to be proven wrong :)
