title_body: Hardware requirments for running a stake pool? I want to run a stake pool for fun and learning purposes and not for profit. What are the minimum hardware requirement for that?
  I have an old laptop with 2Gig RAM and 256Gig storage.
upvoted_answer: As per this documentation,
  https://docs.cardano.org/en/latest/getting-started/stake-pool-operators/creating-a-stake-pool.html,
  in terms of hardware, you should ensure you have the following:
  
  8 GB of RAM
  
  24 GB of hard disk space
  
  a good network connection and about 1 GB of bandwidth per hour
  
  a public IP4 address
  
  
  Note that processor speed is not a significant factor for running a stake pool.
