Minimum hardware requirements for Proof of Stake (POS)?
Technical question. As were moving from POW towards POS, what would be the minimum sensible requirement to have a server running? There is not really much calculation power involved, just the amount of coins you own. Would a lets say 5 years old netbook with Intel Atom CPU be enough to run different 3 wallets 24/7?

If Raspberry can do it, it will be fine on an old Lappy. Can run on Windows or Linux. Right now I have IFLT, Bitbean and TEK. May give a witness node a try under Linux even.
It depends very much on the software. After trying a few pos coins I found some has equal and even higher requirements than adobe photoshop.
Tell me more about that plz
I wouldn't run a laptop 24/7, better off using a PC if you have one, otherwise you can try with the laptop and see how it performs. You don't want the laptop to be overheating or heating up much in general.
I'm pretty sure this is enough.
I played a bit with using a RaspberryPi for staking. Even this worked well, the only challenge was to get the wallets compiled for ARM...
