I want to invest, I have a wallet, I wish to the put $500 into it. How many hands do I have to feed to accomplish this? And who/what can be trusted with this transaction?

Why not use testnet first? Blixt has a cool web demo https://blixtwallet.github.io/ You got an android testnet package for blixt too https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.7
Why Not Use Testnet Before You Buy?
1 project | /r/Bitcoin | 7 Jun 2023

There is also a testnet release for blixt on the github: https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases Blixt is of course a lightning wallet. So if you wanted to play with that without using real coins this is how you would do it.

Some great lightning wallets you can use

I don't think it's well known in blogs and non-dev people, but the github repo is pretty popular. It's open source, so you can have a look at the code. It has a lot of state-of-the-art features.

Raspberry pi from a shitcoin project
1 project | /r/Bitcoin | 15 Jun 2023

Looking at this teardown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk66G12Q5vw it does seem to be a raspberry pi 4. If that PI has a 4gb or 8gb then you can install umbrel easily, the instructions are here: https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os The teardown shows a fan. But you will also need some SSD for storing the Bitcoin blockchain. And perhaps some case/frame to hold it all together.
Connect umbrel to full bitcoin node.

Umbrel.
Exist option, that allow download something called "full blockchain" or similar for better privacy?
1 project | /r/Electrum | 6 Nov 2022

You might also check out Umbrel (http://getumbrel.com). It is an open-source project that helps you configure a full node and a bunch of other potentially desirable software (e.g., lightening node, Electrum Server, etc).
Umbrel 0.5.2 is here with Community App Stores, Tor access toggle, search in app store, and more
1 project | /r/getumbrel | 25 Oct 2022

Why is 0.5.2 not yet downloadable from umbrel-os? I should replace my aging Micro SD.
My node took 24 days to sync on a raspberry pi 4 (4gb ram). Is it normal or it should be faster ?

https://getumbrel.com for more info. Pretty easy to setup and you can run a Tor Proxy and Pihole from there as well. You can also self host your own cloud storage for photos so no monthly fees.
