I just migrated my #bitcoin node from #Umbrel to #Start9 .

My first thoughts:

- Migration of your LN with your current settings is pretty neat.

- Start9 needs more work to have better options on network settings (clearnet, change IP from UI...). It will come next release. I guess.

- Start9 UI is still some buggy, works great but not perfect.

- Umbrel needs to add f***ing HTTPS, with that would be even better than Start9 for beginners or ppl want easy way.

- Start9 is better for security. They did a great job with TLS stuff.

- Neither of them are perfect to set up a simple service for friends/family or little bussines. They are close to reach that point but still need some improvements.

- As Bitcoin Community we have to support both projects and if you can use both to compare.

- Buy their hardware or send a donation. We need them.

Good timing on this post, I have been looking at both. I want to run my own #BTC node and then possibly add a BTCPay Server… or use a mini PC like a NUC… so many possibilities!

If you want to use BTCPay Server in clearnet, probably is easier set up with Start9 because has HTTPS.
