You mean when Start9 drops the Hamster Client that’s in Embassy Beta?

No. I mean which is best If you have NO experience in running nodes and want to get some Sovereign computing

Nostr has nothing to do with a node. However you can run a node on start 9 among other programs. One of which will be Nostr Client.

If you are looking to make it a relay, I wouldn’t recommend combining relay with node

Oh I sorry, I meant Umbrel, not Nostr!

I’m bias to embassy. Because I run one. My vote is Embassy.

However there are others who are partial to umbrel.

I believe #[3] can shed some light. He just setup his embassy. Still in the “stare at it” phase of node running.

Thanks. I’m instinctive biased towards Embassy too. Feels more…Sovereign

Start9 has a telegram group with the S9 guys in there. They were super helpful when I was DIY building an embassy when they didn’t have any stock for sale.

That alone gives me brand loyalty.

Yes, for sure!

+1 for Embassy, super simple to set up and the team are great and on hand for support.
