 Great tutorial 🔥
SimpleX is awesome, I might do the same to explain how to setup with docker ⚡ 
 Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.
 
The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.
 
To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.
 
The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.
 
I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.
 
Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.
 
Please save me.

 How to do the same thing with #Keet
Step 1: download & install keet from keet.io
Step 2: enter your screen name
Step 3: create a room & share the link

That's it. All peers are servers

Guy is hosting a Twitter space on the 15th where all the things will be discussed. 
 Will it be on Bitcoin Audible after? 
 Yes, I believe so 
 Excellent! :D will you release this in Spanish in the future too? 
 Coming. 
 always the best tutorials 
 Outstanding work! 
 You could just  use @Start9 they have the app packaged. Nice and simple. Just  a few clicks and you're up and running.  
 Installing Start9 to only use our own SimpleX servers is maybe a bit too much 😅 
 Yeah maybe, but its much simpler than the above tutorial. And further it lets you host a lot of other cool tech. Including a NOSTR relay just as easy as a SimpleX relay.  
 I'm not here for 'simple', but for 'sovereign'. I don't want a third party serving me free software that I can install myself, specially when bitcoin is involved. Running thousands of lines of unneccesary code next to your bitcoin node is not a good idea. 
 I'm not sure you understand what StartOS is. It's just an open source Linux distro with a better GUI for self-hosting than Debian, Ubuntu, and other Linux distros. Nobody is "serving" you software. Everything is 100% open source and sovereign. You're just saving time and hassle by using a Linux distro that is purpose built for self-hosting. Ask Evgany and the SimpleX team if hosting with StartOS has ANY sovereignty drawbacks. 
 When distrowatch? 
 I have no idea why we are not listed there or how to fix it. 
 I suppose @402 Payment Required only goal is to let people become smartest by installing applications by themselves, not by clicking on a button and let the magic happen 🎉 
 The audience of my channel is different. I like Start9 hardware a lot, but if you can (and I know it's a lot to ask) adopt a paranoid stance by using extremely well reviewed stripped down distros, avoid GUIs, install what you need only, learn how to harden/setup a server and manage users/processes, verify manually, keep bitcoin software segragated from other stuff, and keep yourself well informed about technical/political issues that might require individual decissions on your part as a peer in the bitcoin network. 
 How is flashing StartOS to a piece of hardware any more than flashing Ubuntu? In fact, I'm pretty sure StartOS has less bloat than most distros. 
 Great tutorial on setting up a self hosted instance of @simplex . 
For any less experienced users who want a virtually point and click experience you can also set up this service on a @Start9 server as @libertyontherocks just mentioned below.
If you run into any trouble, there is also amazing and lightning fast customer service.
