Having a blast with this minipc.

StartOS from nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpg3mhxw309umxcetgdpukgumjw35xzemdd9envat4xe682cmwv3m85aehvd6kyur3dd58v7re0ymk5mmfda3ngdtdddehydr9v9jzummwd9hkutcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0f09vg9 flashed on it.

Running a full node. Messing with lightning and learning a lot.

Every Bitcoiner should do this imo.

First video of my DIY sovereign server coming soon.

Every sovereign a Bitcoiner flashed my

StartOS

First of on from server

Nice😊

Definitely watching this one!

Start9 is a very smart system. A lot of clever things happening under the hood.

If you’re really adventurous, you can package your own apps…I need to do this for the customized Blockstream satellite bitcoind fork of core sometime.

What's your reason to package your apps, are you going offline often?

Eta on Embassy (server pure) back in stock?

No idea

I have been running nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll on my Lenovo P320 for more than a year now. I have learned a lot!

Great way to do it!

I am also on a lenovo. Gives me a good feeling to know that used hardware comes to a second life and don't end up as waste!

Do you know if start9 would work well on an old laptop or are these desktops/minipcs better?

I tried once with a laptop last year but couldn't figure out how to turn the screen off, which would just eat tons of power.

Where can we order it? How foes it compare to a raspbery pi with umbrel on it?

More future proof and different OS. Umbrel is fine too though but less privacy focused.

Hmm

Am I right in thinking that Start9 needs an ethernet connection? I only have wifi and I seem to remember that the Start9 developers don't want it to be used with wifi.

If you DIY WiFi is an option.

Thanks but I think I'll probably go with Ubuntu Server and move my node to that. Umbrel is annoying & Start9 looks a lot bettter but the Start9 guys guys seem to be opposed to having wifi used with their server so I'd rather go with something that isn't going to be needlessly difficult.

How much is the cost of this one? And do you need a Monitor or another Laptop to Setting up as a Node ?

It was $300 Canadian. $220 USD. You access it remotely on a device that is connected to the same network.

But the device has to be a PCc no iPad/iPhone Right?

I got nearly the same one and dropped a 2TB NVMe in it for a bit more blockchain and file storage. It’s awesome. It’s only been offline twice in two years. Just got a BitAxe pointed at a Datum Gateway instance on it a few weeks ago.

Awesome, I plan to do that upgrade as well to this one

Need to look into start9

Nice, hows it holding up ??

My mini pc keeps giving me thenwhite screen of doom so i might look into getting one of these and just swap the SSD drive over 👍🏻

Have you tried any of the cloud storage on it? Curious if I could legit replace Googledrive with some thing like this

I know prob 20 or so people IRL who own #Bitcoin but only 1 runs a node. Most don't even know what a node is.

Does start9 offer knots as an alt to core?

Yes it does, through the community registry on their marketplace

Better than Umbrel?

In some ways yes, more secure imo. Less variety of apps but that is part of that security

Btw everyone, this video is out now!
