Here is a list of the pre-built Bitcoin Node stacks that I know about:

MyNode – Easy install. Flash an SD card and put that into your Rasperry Pi. $99 for “premium” apps, which includes being able to run tor, btcpay server, and mempool. They also offer software for an AMD64 computer as well.

GetUmbrel – This is likely the easiest and most commonly run software for those doing DIY Bitcoin node stacks on a Raspberry Pi. As easy to install as MyNode with just a flashed SD card, but it includes apps that MyNode charges for. Also, the interface is easy to navigate and many would say it’s the easiest on the eyes. Like MyNode, they also offer software to install on an AMD64 computer.

RunCitadel – This started out as a fork of the Umbrel node stack. They do still share things in common but in general the UIs are very different at this point. RunCitadel is fully FOSS and some would argue that this makes it superior software to Umbrel.

RoninDojo – Also installs with a flashed SD card, but a little more involved throughout the install process. RoninDojo does not offer Lightning and I would not bet on them adding it anytime soon. This install is command-line heavy. The RoninDojo stack is primarily built to be paired with your Android device in order to run Samourai Wallet in a self sovereign way. Coinjoin to your hearts content without every sharing your xpub.

RaspiBlitz – Installs with a flashed SD card also, but like Ronindojo, the setup is a little more involved and is heavy on command line. You can run a RaspiBlitz install on an AMD64 computer but the process is very involved.

Start9 – Start9 offers their EmbassyOS and is not primarily a Bitcoin node as it offers applications for those looking to break away from depending on cloud based services, such as password managers, and photo backup services. This software also works on AMD64 computers. EmbassyOS is very easy to setup on your computer as it only requires flashing an SD card and will work on your AMD64 machine out of the box, you do not need to install on OS on it.

Great thread đź§µ

I wanted to set up a node for a long time but found Raspberry Pi to be expensive atm due to no inventory. Ended up grabbing a Tiny Thinkcenter for under $100 and went the Start9 route. Surprised at how simple it was to install the OS and bitcoin services. Couldn’t be happier!

Start9 embassy OS now has Nostr relay server available đź‘€

Anyone out there set this up yet??

#nostr #relay

Was my goal as well!! Found RaspberryPi was hard to get where I am( sold out everywhere) or way to expensive for what you get due to low stock. I grabbed a under $100 Ibm tiny, upgraded SSD and installed Embassy OS (S9) and added bitcoin services. It was very simple and very cheap way to get started.

HODL HODL is pretty simple - just make sure to check they check the reviews of the person your dealing with.
