If you want to practice "Don't trust, verify" and run a Bitcoin full node, SatoshiConsult (npub1rzn…r4ly) sincerely believes that the best way is to run it on StartOS from Start9 (npub126n…e9ll) AKA Sovereign Computing.

Why? StartOS from Start9 (npub126n…e9ll) is fully open source:
https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os

- You can buy a plug and play Start9 Server from their web shop. The 2025 Server now got a 45% faster CPU. You just plug the Start9 node into your WiFi and electricity, and it works.

- You can also build a DIY #Bitcoin full node from e.g. a Dell Optiplex computer and install StartOS. The Optiplex got good enough hardware for running a self sovereign and self custodial Lightning Node⚡

If you’re looking for a video tutorial on how to:

1. upgrade to a newer Start9 server
2. transfer your node from umbrel (npub1agh…mhct) to Start9 (npub126n…e9ll)

look no further than these video tutorials by BTC Sessions (npub1rxy…hnp8):
