The most common way

The most common way for a beginner to run a miner and validator is to leverage a cloud server running Linux. You may choose whatever VPS provider that your prefer, and whatever operating system you are comfortable with. The transactions weights in PoScan were benchmarked on standard hardware. It is recommended that miners and validators run at least the standard hardware in order to ensure they are able to process all blocks in time. The following are not minimum requirements but if you decide to run with less than this beware that you might have performance issue.
