OK ladies and gentlemen, you acquired some BTC, good. Now is time for the next phase: securing your bitcoins. Be sovereign, controlling/securing your own money, be your own bank. How do you achieve that? With your own nodes.
There are many ways to have your own node. Hosted on a VPS or on your own machine (built by yourself or already plug&play). Choose which one you want, but the important thing is to have it.
Hosting on VPS: there are many offers, but seems that the companies still are not adapting to users needs (space for blockchain, memory for services) and their packs are not full ready for a node in good conditions.
I would love to see hosting companies offering "Your hosted node, ready to go" at a resonable price.
I suggest to have your own node, at home or in a place where you can control it.
Nowadays, a good home internet connection, public IP, unlimited traffic are a norm and cheap.
Nodes:
Casa BTC & LN node - plug & play
NODL BTC + LN + BTCPay node + RTL + EPS - plug & play, one of the most complete solution
BTCPi- plug & play
RaspiBlitz node
Build your own node with Rasp Pi
Build your own node with RaspiBolt
Pierre Rochard Node
A complete guide how to build your Node on Linux - thanks to u/k3tan
If you want to build with your own hardware, I suggest HTPCs like:
- Gigabyte Brix (there are different versions)
- MSI Cubi
- Intel NUC
- 1 TB SSD drive
- 4-8 GB RAM
Total cost? Could be no more than 300-400€. These nodes, could be used easily by merchants, with online shops or brick&mortar shops, and do not depend on ANY intermediary. Eshops can easily deploy also their own webshop with WP + Woo + BTCPay on the same machine. With no more cost!
EDIT: sorry for the wrong title, it should be "Invest in securing your bitcoin".
