I want to set up and run my own #Bitcoin node. Any input from you all about going about this? Looking at #start9 or #umbrel

Pros, cons of either?

I've been very recently convinced that start9 is the better option for BTC related things.

Any specific reasons? I’m just beginning to look into this. I know umbrel has a lot of “apps” that run on it as well. Is start9 similar?

Start9 is better integrated with the services that they offer. Umbrel is broader, but, seems to be less reliable for things like BTC and lightning.

Interesting. Okay good to know. My primary purpose will be bitcoin specific. Node, connecting wallets, lightning etc.

I've been trying to decide between both and I gave up. I will just run both, but start with start9 since getting a node and lighting setup is more pressing.

Yeah I think im going to run with the start9 as well. Those are my priorities as well.
