Custom built bitcoin nodes for beginers. Will help!

Simply Sovereign is a mission-driven business dedicated to helping individuals take full control of their Bitcoin. We build and sell custom Bitcoin node hardware that empowers users to verify their own transactions, use wallets like Sparrow privately, and interact with the Bitcoin network directly—without relying on third parties. Our plug-and-play nodes come pre-configured with open-source tools like Bitcoin Knots, Electrs, and mempool.space, and are optimized for privacy, performance, and ease of use. Whether you're stacking sats, running Lightning, or educating your community, our nodes give you the foundation to do it all on your own terms.

At Simply Sovereign, we believe self-custody isn't just a feature—it's a lifestyle. We're not a corporate brand or faceless tech provider—we're Bitcoiners building tools for other Bitcoiners. Our hardware is battle-tested, our guides are no-nonsense, and our ethos is simple: sovereignty over convenience, every time. For those ready to exit the fiat system and build resilient lives around sound money, Simply Sovereign is here to make running a full node as accessible and empowering as possible.

Is that an app or website...I need that on my dash!.. 😃

Of course he did

Amethyst devs..what is this..a bot? https://files.sovbit.host/media/1b9ac99dfd9b0ec717aa4b43a1a14050c11ff3d31c20a8caa6fa07edc470baeb/fffe81e9315a4a61d6109061df44e9dc34a167592bfcc0a67833bb6d82aecfa6.webp

If you guys wanna run a node but are overwhelmed with the idea (like I was at first) not to worry. I'll build you a node and flash it with Umbrel or Start9. I'll even provide tech support. All for as cheap as possible. If your as passionate as I am about bitcoin then we need a node in every home & office!

🤣😂🤣

Yup! Exactly 💪🏻

Bitcoin leads to Linux.. Bitcoin leads to learning/reading/researching.. Bitcoin leads to tor & tailscail, protecting your privacy.

Twitter is centralized and controlled by Elon. Here, you're free to say whatever you like. No algorithms, no ads. Its nice.

No im not using the embedded node..im using my own lightning node

Thanks bro..thats the biggest zap I ever got 🫡

Linking my node to zeus and alby so I can zap..its been the bane of my existence..lots of help from chat gpt..still not there

I still use Zeus and for the most part I love it..how do I connect it to amethyst though?

The fees man, lightning is supposed to be a fraction of a penny...Zeus keeps forcing me to open a channel with Olympus or megalith..they charge too much to route your payments. I have liquidiy.. 25$ in/ out..but I can't redeem 163 sats. Bc zeuse says I don't have enough

But 500 sats for a 50,000 payment..cmon..i should never incure a fee like that using Olympus or Megalith

So is there a vote then, or how's that process go?

Where is this?

Oh certainly do..🤷🏻‍♂️😄

Request delete from who??

Why aren't there lighning apps in the US that connect directly to your LND lightning node..3rd party apps like nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4 and nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqd2970s force you to open expensive channels with them. Hooking up a self-custody wallet to zap with is the bane of my life..the way things work, everyday finance people will never use this cumbersome tech..only we do bc were super intrested..let's build this out!

How'd he know?

So you can't record over them

Ohh I got ya..ya I guess Microsoft knows everything you have in Onedrive. Im not THAT technical , but doesn't a self hosted umbrel or start 9 solve for that problem?

It's a sad realization that bitcoin adoption at scale will never see the masses take self-custody. Are we destined to send/recieve lightning payments on strike and cash app? No body is gonna link their nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqd2970s mobile wallet to their umbrel node over Tor, if it's unreliable and clunky. Is bitcoin destined to be a payment network or just a SOV. I know many believe it CANT be a sov without being a m.o.e. I dunno. I'm happy with bitcoin as is. Just as a Sov, it would be best if cap gains were removed. What's David sacks waiting for there? Or whoever makes that decision.
