Oddbean new post about | logout
 I am not a Linux guy. But I am in the process of running my own node. I do like to do all from the source and though they’re more plug and play, I just want to start maybe with a mini pc (don’t like the raspberry pi with the ssd cable connected outside), the bitcoin.org core for a start. Could you advise the essential plus tools I should consider to install so I can confirm my btc transactions and privacy. Basically I am just a hodler. Thanks #asknostr
