Set up an ScPrime Storage Provider on Windows for Passive Income
If you want to set up an ScPrime Storage Provider on Windows to get paid for sharing your spare HDD space then this is the place to start! ScPrime is a project which allows you to set up a computer to run on the blockchain and share your spare HDD space for an incentive - the incentive being the SCP token. At the time of this video the current value of SCP is £2.04 ($2.77)
Please ensure you follow all steps slowly and don't rush setting up your provider - it's important you end up with a reliable system as ScPrime have the right to blacklist providers who have unreliable nodes. The hardware I have selected in this video is more than enough to run a node in a reliable manner. You can however (obviously) purchase bigger and better equipment depending on your current financial status and belief in the project.
Below are some Amazon UK and US affiliate links to the hardware I'm using and other suggested alternatives you could go for if you want more space.
