I tend to go down rabbit holes...
nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct OS on a Beelink running a #bitcoin node, Electrum server, nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub, connected to two #Nostr keys with custom domain NIP-05 identifiers and lightning wallets, plus three #Bitaxe Supras overclocked and solo mining to my instance of nostr:npub1wtgd9ccg76awlp29zl3h466l89wr7hsut0n3ucmtr95h4t29jc6srlsxp2
How about Electrum?
Yep, mentioned. And mempool, btc explorer, and a project called Pluto that’s a nice remote dashboard for Bitaxe
I need your help setting something like this up!
* Install UmbrelOS on a mini PC, or buy an Umbrel Home (Start9 is an alternative).
* Optional vs VPN/Tor: Create a Tailscale account. Install Tailscale on Umbrel and any devices you want to access it with. Now you can remotely access the Umbrel server.
* Install Bitcoin Node and allow it to sync 100% (this can possibly take many hours).
* Install Electrs (Electrum server) and let it sync (if progress appears to get stuck after installation close the window and launch again from Umbrel or restart Umbrel.
* Install Lightning Node.
* Install Alby Hub. Join their Discord server and attend an onboarding session and watch videos/read docs: nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm
Or, if you don’t want to deal with all that check out nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm cloud option.
Did you make any progress with this?
No not yet, thanks for following up. Think I’m going to pick up a start9 node. What do you think? What should I consider doing first?
I haven’t used start9 but I believe similar to Umbrel. Start with Bitcoin Node since it’s a prerequisite for other stuff. Let it sync 100%. I don’t know the technical reasons but you need Electrum Personal Server (electrs) on top of that. Then you can connect your wallets to it. You need vpn or Tailscale to access remotely. See what I mean by going down the rabbit hole?
That’s what I understand so far as well thank you for the intel! And yes the rabbit hole is so deep and addicting. I love learning this stuff!
I have Alby hub now but sometimes I’m like why haha
Paying monthly fees to use it. But at least I’m supporting the network and a bitcoin company
Paying monthly for the cloud service, yes? If you run your own hub you only pay transaction fees, but it’s more work. I run it mostly out of technical curiosity and like you said support decentralized network and open source devs. Also if all this takes off good to have the knowledge and experience early.
Much agreed
Thank you, that matters! <3
