I used to run an #Umbrel #Bitcoin node. It‘s time for something new!
New project starts

Discussion
is it better? worse? thoughts?
I can't say at the moment. StartOS makes a solid impression on me. I now also use an older Dell Optiplex computer. The Raspi has too little power for me. Bitcoin Core is not yet fully synced.
But StartOS look and feel is really cool!
Nice!
If I may chime in.
It’s better for the more technical savvy ones of us. It’s more hands on, and not as modern look and feel.
Gotcha
I ran umbrel very early on it was fine experience but felt start 9 needed some love, switched couple of years back and never left
I'm planning on switching from Umbrel soon.
I would like more customisation and control over my node.
It’s a step in that direction unsure if it gets that deep. I’d recommend you take Quick Look through the docs . https://docs.start9.com/
I tried the OS system and it crashed every time. I come back to #umbrel
No problems here. The DIY setup is really simple. Web UI very clear, I am impressed. Umbrel has always worked well, but got a bit too hot for me. That's why I'm now switching to a more powerful computer. I use an old Dell Optiplex with a 2TB SSD
Same
Gonna love it!
