Bitcoin Pocket Node -- Full sovereign Bitcoin stack on your phone

This is the type of criticism I was worried about. Can you help me understand why it’s so bad?

**Making Bitcoin nodes portable. Builder of Bitcoin Pocket Node.**

@FreeOnlineUser's bio

An Android app that runs a real, fully-validating Bitcoin node on your phone. Not a lightweight client. Not SPV. The actual bitcoind binary validating every transaction.

**What it does:**

- **4 Bitcoin implementations** -- Choose Core 28.1, Core 30, Knots 29.3, or Knots with BIP 110 consensus enforcement. Switch with one tap, same chainstate
- **30-minute setup** -- Copy chainstate from your home node over SSH. Zero to full node without waiting days for IBD
- **Electrum server** -- BWT runs alongside bitcoind. Connect BlueWallet or any Electrum wallet to your own phone
- **Lightning ready** -- Block filter index + Zeus Neutrino. Full sovereign Lightning stack, all localhost, no third parties
- **Sovereign price discovery** -- UTXOracle calculates BTC/USD from on-chain data alone. No exchange APIs, no trusted feeds
- **Mempool viewer** -- Fee estimates, projected blocks, transaction search. Your mempool, not mempool.space
- **Battery aware** -- Pauses sync when unplugged below 50%. Auto-starts on boot
- **Runs on GrapheneOS** -- Built for privacy-focused Pixel users

Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no trust required.
