In playing with and exploring #bitcoin #node implementations again there seems to be two that offer the most bang for your bitcoin. Those two are nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpg3mhxw309umxcetgdpukgumjw35xzemdd9envat4xe682cmwv3m85aehvd6kyur3dd58v7re0ymk5mmfda3ngdtdddehydr9v9jzummwd9hkutcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0f09vg9 or nostr:nprofile1qqsw5t3us9xs3gmclzjm37hvk2yy6pv9t96utjjttsj794hexc5x79qpzemhxw309a6k6cnjv4kzumr0vdskcw358q6rsqgswaen5te0w4kkyun9dsargwp58qrqp3nw .

The key differences I see are that Start9 offers better hardware and Umbrel offers more out of the box software "apps."

The pre-built Start9 is more expensive, but again, better hardware. Both offer a DIY guide with recommended hardware.

I like the sound of Start9 for my personal sovereign stack and Umbrel to play fast and loose with new projects and tools, or maybe run a meet up node.

Any critiques or feedback on this general opinion of the two? #asknostr
