My raspiblitz is now as broken as lightning.

Some might say it works as bitcoind is running… but nearly all apps are dead, nginx web server error, specter status failure and just too many flaws.

Trouble all the time.

Running a bitcoin node on a raspberry pi is just a plain stupid idea.

I did the pi nodes for a few months when they first got out but quickly realized they needed a bit more stable reliable performance computing

Yeah. They were heavily promoted and sold by lightning fans in the time where users still thought they can be their own decentralized running ‚bank’ with handling lightning channels.

Result today: most private lightning nodes are not maintained anymore, WalletofSatoshi and LSP are running the show.

What alternative do you suggest?

Mini pc, laptop. 🧑‍💻
