If you want to practice "Don't trust, verify" and run a Bitcoin full node, @Satoshi Consult🔑 sincerely believes that the best way is to run it on StartOS from @Start9 AKA Sovereign Computing.
Why? StartOS from @Start9 is fully open source:
- You can buy a plug and play Start9 Server from their web shop. The 2025 Server now got a 45% faster CPU. You just plug the Start9 node into your WiFi and electricity, and it works.
- You can also build a DIY #Bitcoin full node from e.g. a Dell Optiplex computer and install StartOS. The Optiplex got good enough hardware for running a self sovereign and self custodial Lightning Node⚡
If you’re looking for a video tutorial on how to:
1. upgrade to a newer Start9 server
2. transfer your node from @Umbrel ☂️ to @Start9
look no further than these video tutorials by @npub1rxys...hnp8:

PS. You can also self host @Alby Hub on StartOS from @Start9 🐝
