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.
