Totally agreed. I am setting up right now my third node exclusively on commands. Much more rewarding. My goal here is to have a full Ln node managed by commands.

I will very likely post it here! I have already got my head around this morning on what I want to do:
1.) Mac Pro 2013 with 64Gb RAM will be running 4 VM with Start9 in each of them:
- BTC/LND node
- Media station
- HOST (possibly public relay for NOSTR)
- etc...
2.) Raspberry running 2nd BTC/LND node with Raspibolt for testing purposes.
3.) Dektop computer running the QubesOS to remotely connect with the above through local LAN.
Yes, this is the set up. It has taken me several days to came up with what i wanted to do. 🤠⚡️⚡️🤠

Hey @npub1pze…shxc after some weeks of reviewing options I am seriously considering to switch to Start9.
Start9 architecture is built with privacy and security in mind, this is the first reason. After digging information out on the roadmap, team and focus, i believe this is the right step forward.
The second main reason that has convinced me is my own experience with Umbrel after some time: I came to the conclusion that is still a half-cooked OS, less secure and it forces the user to switch between command line and GUI.
My two cents.

2023-08-05 08:12:29

I am seriosly digging out information in Cubes OS for the last week and I am very impressed with it. Has anyone tried it?
I think it perfectly matches my digital lifestyle. Everything under its own "cube". I love the idea. 🤠
- I am considering to have one computer running Start9 OS for my BTC/LND node and as local server.
- In a Raspberry PI I would like to run another extra node with Raspibolt for testing and learning purposes.
- In a separate computer, I would be running CubesOS from which I would manage my Start9 OS and the Raspibolt.
Does anyone see any potential issues? I don't know anyone running two nodes under the same network. Is this feasible?

Kevin Mitnick has surprisingly passed away at the age of 59. I was living in California back then when he was defending himself of Tsutomu Shimomoura (Head of Supercomputers department of University of San Diego) who was colaborating with FBI to catch him.
I strongly suggest to read both books written by Mitnick and Shimomoura on both sides of the story.

- reply

Are you GenX? Millenials and GenZ have far less chances and opportunities compared to X. Still, due to the fact that BTC is timeless and spaceless (it allows to transfer value across time and space) I believe that every generation should buy on a regular basis BTC.
Every generetion has its challenges and difficulties. BTC allows to plan against these.

2023-07-18 20:46:18

My Umbrel relay (connected through Tailscale) has surprisingly stopped working. Has anybody else lost the connection? It is no longer synchronising with my relay.

A theory that I have in my mind, which I can't proof:
The trend of babies born from parents who are living/acting/understanding the Bitcoin Standard is picking up with strength.
I would love to see some data and statistics on the above. I am pretty much convinced that these parents are facing the same challenge of raising a child with much more confidence and hence, security feeling, versus those who are not aware of BTC.

True story: besides my job I am a teacher at College level, and I have been orange pilling for the last 6 years to students, family and friends.
None of my students (between late 20's and early 40's) have shown interest. I have one friend who I managed to drag to BTC with success and, within the family, just one member, nothing exciting.
On the other hand, I go to a supermarket where there is this guy from Nigeria in the front door always helping out in exhange of some cash. I knew that Nigeria was one of the countries in the world with more exposure to crypto so i asked him. He had never done anything like that but he wanted to learn. It took me 60 minutes to explain him the basics, install Phoenix wallet in his phone and tip him with 20€ worth of sats. He was genuinely happy. On top, i did it before the last bull run so he saw the capital increasing. Now he is saving money for his family in Nigeria in SATS.
There is a common saying among BTC peers: "anyone buys BTC at the price he/she deserves". It is a very harsh statement but is 100% correct. I have seen it with my own eyes. 👁️⚡️👁️

Needs lots of work.
I worked on apps launching and the way they have done it is not very useful for them. An MVP is needed to be launched to a small community in order to get some data and insight learnings out of it.
Their MVP is very limited, users cant do much. Hence, no usable data can be collected for next iteration.
Regardless of my above comment, it is really nice to see these developments coming along.

I read in a thread that Start9 doesnt offer the 24 seed phrase of LN node. Is this true? Switching over https offered by Start9 but sacrificing 24 seed phrase is a biiig trade-off. There are always trade offs in switching OS though.
I use Umbrel with zero issues.

2023-07-14 06:06:19

- reply

Ok, i add an interesting finding that i read. While Start9 uses https vs. Umbrel, the LN node of Start9 doesnt use 24 seed phrase as Umbrel does.
I read this in a thread. I cant confirm it.
Both OS have trade offs. I run Umbrel and I will stick to it until I see clear disadvantages. I have zero issues with Umbrel right now.
I prefer to focus on learning LN node management. 🤙🏻

I also run Umbrel under Rasp Pi 4 with 8GB and it goes smooth like silk. No problems whatsoever on anything: hardware and installation setup, software installation, running apps, etc... ZERO issues.
This switch from one OS to another one is pretty normal in techies personalities (me included). I am resisting myself to do the swap but i still havent found a solid thread to do so. There are always trade-offs in each direction.

LN NODE debate for anyone who is up to:
I have been in BTC arena for several years, reading tons of informations. Long before opening my LN node (recently), I came to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to make it profitable (right now) unless you run it as a business and lots of time and dedication is invested. I set up the node, pretty much convinced that I want to do it to contribute to the network rather than reach profitability.
If my above approach is correct (maybe is not and everyone should be looking for profit?), I am VERY interested to hear you out:
- do you agree with the above?
- Do you have recommendation for LN node operators who are not necessarily looking for immediate profit? What strategies do you advise?
- Do you advise on with who to open channels with and with who dont?
- Fee structure recommendation?
- Any comments?
I would be supper happy to hear your opinion, ideas, etc... Not necessarily related to my above questions!
Please feel free to REPOST and spread it. I am genuinely interested in reading your comments.
Thanks!

Indeed, deep reflection. Governments (some) will need more Bitcoin than Bitcoin needs them to become relevant. Some governments may be facing internal social revolts if they don't look for a Plan B. First wave happened in 2021-2022: Lebanon, Zimbabwe, Argentina, Turkey, Sri Lanka, etc...

One small feedback/suggestion: to improve the follow up visualization of the threads in future releases.
In the below example, my response appears as Main Post (when is not), I was replying to the 1st message of a thread (it should be Main Post in this case).
