If you want to practice "Don't trust, verify" and run a Bitcoin full node, nostr:npub1rznlzpg529u8j39a8qe7tapsygd54qp5qyr5jyue7whwpw79rsjqmzr4ly sincerely believes that the best way is to run it on StartOS from nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll AKA Sovereign Computing.

Why? StartOS from nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll is fully open source:

https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os

- You can buy a plug and play Start9 Server from their web shop. The 2025 Server now got a 45% faster CPU. You just plug the Start9 node into your WiFi and electricity, and it works.

- You can also build a DIY #Bitcoin full node from e.g. a Dell Optiplex computer and install StartOS. The Optiplex got good enough hardware for running a self sovereign and self custodial Lightning Node⚔

If you’re looking for a video tutorial on how to:

1. upgrade to a newer Start9 server

2. transfer your node from nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll

The customer support from the nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl team, including their co-founders, CEO nostr:nprofile1qqsfrlp5f954nw7rgnx6fm4mhwkdcjhlz8f7rn8387z8qf4cx20xwegmp9xes and CTO nostr:nprofile1qqs9mv7tas0p3zzsc7eyu98t8tm229gpq8qavmd7g9kcj7sdccuf7gsanx6w7 are world class.

The Start9 CTO nostr:nprofile1qqs9mv7tas0p3zzsc7eyu98t8tm229gpq8qavmd7g9kcj7sdccuf7gsanx6w7 used almost 3 hours to locate a bug a year ago with myself.

Absolutely brilliant!

To quote Aiden McClelland on GitHub:

ā€œBuilding a better internetā€

But the plebs have been waiting very patiently for StartOS v0.3.6 since nostr:nprofile1qqs9mv7tas0p3zzsc7eyu98t8tm229gpq8qavmd7g9kcj7sdccuf7gsanx6w7 merged v0.3.5.1 on November 21th 2023.

The self sovereign plebs need clearnet connection, e.g. nostr:nprofile1qqsfj32jgnfp7asvcr5sj3ljar2v6elhm5560zfh0xqfeqsgl84s0rc37zmgx for self custodial lightning nodes on StartOS AKA Sovereign Computing, which will be available in StartOS v0.3.6 and beyond.

nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl CEO Matt Hill was promoting the Lightning clearnet options in StartOS v0.4.0 in this nostr:nprofile1qqs874el2hv8tn5wm3fgahuz99yl624el8r9my22gq39vcas56tmupcqznyt2 podcast discussing with nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 and nostr:nprofile1qqsfrlp5f954nw7rgnx6fm4mhwkdcjhlz8f7rn8387z8qf4cx20xwegmp9xes which was broadcasted on May 17th 2024.

A little side note, nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl is under the VC nostr:nprofile1qqs2sjd7kmh6l4n4lclkzcjpckfln8gjcg7mkkdmk07dw90ykvn7d5samqhsh umbrella.

Just a quick question from my ignorance is there any little comparison between this one and the umbrel lghntn node?
