run nodes
Sharing opinions is easy — running a node sets you apart
In Soviet Russia, node run you
Any recommendations for cheap options to run a node?, I want to run a shit ton of them.
there is no benefit to running a shit ton of them
just install knots or core on your computer and use it with sparrow wallet
I want to do it for fun, and I hear it makes the Bitcoin network stronger and more resilient. I heard it is relatively cheap to run a ton of them. Any pointers will be highly appreciated
Running one makes the network stronger... And only if you use it by connecting your wallet to it or using it for fee estimations or SOMETHING... But mostly for verifying payments to yourself.
Running many more nodes, has no extra benefit to the Bitcoin network, maybe just to your own education.
It's not only for myself, it's for my friends and family.
this and holding your own keys are the most critical next steps after buying BTC.
Nothing about this is controversial 👍 GM.

Thats it
Transparency. Actions speak louder than words.
Run a node and encourage your friends to run a node too… Learned so much about the network by running a node.
If you orange pill someone, don’t stop at the exchange, or at the self custody part… help them run a node.

Matter a fact, run multiple.
I remember when you said you didn't have any time for one. Bullish
When did I say that? I've always run a node. I said recently I don't have time to compile libre and run it just to make a point. But I did it anyways 😂
I've been on and off a lightning node 3 times though. I think this time I'm sticking with it. I've always run a core node though. For at least as long as I've had nostr. Probably ran one year or 2 before I came onto nostr.

I heard running your own node basically does nothing. Only the major nodes really matter
running a node matters for yourself
you must use a node to interact with the bitcoin network, if you do not use your own node then you are trusting someone elses node
Ride or Dies. 🫡
Truth.
Until recently, many people didn't know they had a choice. I'm glad awareness is expanding.
agreed
Are you running knots or Core ?
Use it is the critical part: you gotta receive bitcoin with it to gain the value of running the node. We need to see far stronger growth of p2p money and merchant adoption.
yes
unless its a lightning node
Hi Bitcoiners, dumb question in the world where is no dumb questions exist… :) just joined the Nostr and trying to set it up as much as possible for just joined dude :)). Wanted to get lightening address and made an Current account for myself, then added LA to my nostr profile as well. What next steps I should do to have Current wallet attached to my Nostr handle/profile?
Thx in advance and a great weekend to you all.

Up and running! No need to trust anyone else.
Knots
Indeed it is the ONLY way to go.
Are we seeing node runners switch from Core to Knots?
This screenshot came from https://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/dashboard/ The numbers may seem small, but it has been a huge jump for Knots. They are now contending with Core’s latest release. So yes node runners want the choice.
💯
Exactly ✌️
how to run a node
My node is Bitcoin Knots. I deleted Bitcoin Core because it is poorly maintained and bugs were added instead of fixes.
My miner, my money
Will mine indiscriminately
Love full blocks
Will do 🫡
