nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll is a good solution
Can you “remotely” connect an on-chain wallet (either on mobile, like BlueWallet, or on desktop, like with a hardware wallet + Sparrow) to a Bitcoin Core node (full or pruned) on a separate computer?
I have to believe you can, because you’re connecting to *some* node every time you use the wallet, but by default you’re just using the wallet service provider’s node.
In Sparrow you can choose a few others, like Bitaroo and nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g. But how do you connected it to your own node on a different device? Or to your Uncle Jim’s node? Or be Uncle Jim for your friends & fam, and connect their wallet to your node? Is it different if the node runs over Tor?
Many questions. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction in terms of resources around nodes?
There is always more to learn and I fucking love it. Hope you’ve all had a stellar weekend, nostriches 🫂💜🤙

It’s currently my top choice for this home server/node/digital-sovereignty endeavor. Gotta save up some sats 🫡
You can get started cheaper than you think.
I would swap out the nvme with a new Kingston KC3000 2tb. This will run Start9
not as cheap, and smaller NVME, but I was happy with this when I got it especially for the small form factor 😉
Thank you both for the rec’s - much appreciate 🙏🫡
