I bought a Start9 server. It just arrived.
I will have to starve for a week because of the customs tax I had to pay (cnuts).
Discussion
What did the tax end up being? I was looking at one, but instead am trying to do a 2015 macbook air.....quite unsuccessfully I might ad
$300… why!!!
And postage was almost $100
It will be worth it.
You can run StartOS on some of the commonly available mini PCs which will give basically the same functionality at a much cheaper price. Not as simple to set up though and you need to do some research to figure out which hardware to buy.
Set up can be technical, but umbrellas provides the best experience imo, and for the longest too
Server Pure?
Yep!
Let me know your thoughts when you get it up and running. Will need to upgrade at some point soon.
You have one?
I have an older 1 TB Start9. I think it was called an Embassy. I’ve got about another 1-2 months left before the hard drive has no space left due to the blockchain size.
How about connecting a working LN-address, which will enable plebs to zap you freedom money?

Pure is the name of Start 9’s latest unless I am mistaken.
Can't zap you somehow
Oh awesome! I'm excited to get started with Start9 once I'm back at my apartment in Jan!
Good luck with a new server :) I think I will go with custom server
