The QORTector Gen 2 features a 500GB SSD storage, quad-core 64-bit processor, 8GB RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video. The Gen 2 comes with a Debian-based desktop OS (Linux) with a custom kernel ‘torchie’ including a GUI addition making this the most efficient and ideal software for running a node on the Qortal Network.

This package includes a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, ethernet cable, and power adapter with power switch. We 3D print the SSD cases ourselves with PETG material. The device is built to be plug-n-play so you should be able to connect it to power and internet, then be good to go (excluding configurations for limited data service plans and port forwarding needs – all of which is simple and is explained on the wiki) ! You’ll simply follow the QORTector Walkthrough guide on the wiki when your device arrives: https://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=qortector_walkthrough

Please note: it is possible to access the QORTector Gen 2 remotely from your laptop or existing computer setup. This is not the recommended option without a monitor+keyboard+mouse at least for initial setup, as we cannot guarantee that your network and the device will be setup right to simply do the following: you’ll either need 1) admin access to your router, or 2) connect the device to a monitor+keyboard+mouse to setup and locate the device’s IP address (and possibly make changes if there are unforeseen issues). At that point you can then configure ‘RDP’ remote access to your QORTector from another computer. It’s not hard to do and we have a help guide on the wiki to do so: https://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=how_to_rdp
