What should be my first move? 🔑

well i recommend knots but whatever you do get started cause it takes a while to sync

Look up some historical bitcoin events and the corresponding blocks. It makes watching the sync more fun. I had a little celebration when the block containing my first bitcoin purchase synced.

Install Core.

Knots it's just a copy with an expiration date. How they force you to update.

The discussions about the filter are just smokescreens from Luke Dashjr.

Anyone still discussing this doesn't understand Bitcoin's technical side and shouldn't be running a node.

Retard alert 🚨

Actually install Knots, then Electr server, Datum, Mempool and then you can continue with some other apps

This is the correct answer

✨🤙🏼

Run knots.

Seriously? We have a Bitcoiner who is willing to step further into self sovereignty by running his own Bitcoin node and there are still people in the weeds arguing Core vs. Knots. Both stacks have their advantages and disadvantages. He should run whatever he wants to get started. JUST GET STARTED! It’s more important that he runs a node than that he’s on a particular team. It’s super easy to switch from one to the other, if you decide to down the road. I ran Core for years on my Start9 but nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr helped me switch to Knots when I switched my Heat Punk mining setup to use DATUM and Ocean.

Knots, electrs, datum gateway, memepool, and start mining through it as well ;)! Also connect a sparrow wallet to it :)

What if I have a Trezor wallet already? What would the sparrow wallet be for?

Sparrow is just what I use and helps with air gapping capabilities. The important part is you are running a node brother!!!!

Also make sure you run knots. It will help keep spam off the blocks. You do you, but knots is keeping Bitcoin simply about money and not a bunch of spam added to the blockchain

Knots is up and running currently 👌🏼

Good job my dude!! You did that quickly

you could use sparrow as a hot wallet and also as a watch only wallet for your hww

Now choose a side. 😬

I recommend you to install knots that offers more configuration options, here is a short video that explains the most important parameters.

LFG! 💪💪
