What’s your favorite node Sir? Looking at setting one up.
Discussion
I’m partial to #[3] strictly for the UX/UI. It’s amazing. I never got fully set up with MyNode, it was very difficult when I first started, granted, I didn’t know as much as I know now, but it was not the best to use. The other one I do have is a FutureBit, but its more than a node, and you have to be very technical with command line to actually use the node part of it.
Have heard great things on #[4] as well, but haven’t used it myself. They offer a fully built one, and also a DIY kit if you have an old computer laying around or something.
Start9 is dead simple.
Deleted the Bitcoin app and trying to sync again, having disconnecting issues. If I can't get my Casa Node 2 hardware a third life as a Start9 bitcoin node I might just use it for nostr.
reading this on iris via Start9, lol
Also, #[4] support is stellar. I’ve only contacted them once and ended up resolving the issue myself, but they were prompt and helpful.
I’ve been leaning towards umbrel. Looks really sleek with a big following that I could use for help when troubles arise. I’m sadly not at technical as I’d like to be and don’t have too much free time. #dadlife thanks for the info sir and the laughs!
