This project was so satisfying. Thanks to @BTCsessions on Youtube and CryptoCloaks.com (for the Triton shell). My new Bitcoin node is up and running on Umbrel ...with the help of LEGO® “Clockwork” Robot minifigs ;-)

For anyone interested in how I built my node, see below. It was not difficult at all. If you can use Stacker.News then you have the skills required for this project. Took me less than an hour to set up and gave me a great feeling when it was all done and working. Highly recommend everyone try it...
TUTORIAL:
PARTS LIST:
- Umbrel Software
- Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB RAM, heat sinks and power supply
- I used an Aluminum Cooling Case for the Raspberry Pi 4 (optional)
- 1TB SSD Hard Drive
- Hard drive case
- Ethernet cable
- MicroSD Card
- “Triton” node shell by CryptoCloaks (use code “btcsessions” for 5% off)
- Alternatively, you could use their less expensive Lightning Shell
Are you planning on using it for a wallet backend?
Yes! I connect to it via Electrum and BlueWallet. I’ve gone 100% trustless.
Hello inspiration. I was considering using this old gaming desktop I have for my node. It has a windowed panel too.
Hmmmmm..... Might have to get fancy now. lol
Cheers!
Do it! I believe in you.
Setting up mine on a Synology this holiday weekend 😊⚡️
We should have some homelab/battlestation style threads for nodes from time to time.
Reminds me of my childhood with castles made of Lego. But this time we dont make prisoners... Que bueno, muchas gracias.
All year its Christmas in your Bitcoin node
This is awesome. Thanks for posting.
Wow! Thats great
Nice!
It's not only hard money... it's art <3
Nice work, I love it :)
Beautiful #BeOG
а есть готовые узлы? может создать? что б только подключить?
I don’t sell these, if that’s what you’re asking. There are websites that sell nodes pre-assembled (see below), but I wanted to learn how to build my own. That way I don’t need to rely on anyone if something goes wrong.
