pull down to refresh
What makes that a better option than a PC or a pi? I'm assuming it's easier.
you dont ever have to fuck with command line
That's a big bonus. I like that.
the caveat to start9 is you only get local network access and tor access. the next release of the OS will supposidly provide clearnet access to services running on a start9, but details and release timeline are scant.
Kind of pricey. I assume they are more powerful. Can they be used for things other than nodes?
you can buy an old mini comp and load the OS onto there since its FOSS. i got mine for $200 with 2 tb, 16 gigs ram which will be decent for running a btc stack
The start 9 os?
Very cool. I didn't know that.
Yes they specialize in many self hosting apps like bitwarden next cloud and others but I would be careful running other apps like those on the same machine as a bitcoin/lightning node.
start9 is awesome! click, btc node...click, electrs server...click, lnd node
