Great overview, I built a 4GB RPi4 umbrel back in 21, and it worked great but got stuck at least half a dozen times over the years. Right now i want to switch to an 8GB RPi5, and try to evaluate if i stay with umbrel or migrate to startos.

Excellent video, very informative. Start9 has brought me to this research, and as a tradesman that wants to organize a digital ecosystem thats open source and fully supporting of my life (media, finances, etc) without having the available time to dedicate to building and maintaining the hardware, i think im on the right track.

One of my biggest concerns with this type of offer is that it doesn't come with an encrypted operating system by design. As far as Umbrel is concerned, any installation brings into view the 24 passwords that could be captured in the event of theft or external maintenance. A serious security flaw.

Then he blocked the right for people to download the software. It’s something like that… may have the facts slightly wrong but it’s something like that.

Hey glad you enjoyed it! For the Start9 plug & play the software comes pre-installed so all you would need to do is plug it in to your router and to an outlet. I believe for Windows there may still be a requirement to download something called Bonjour Services in order to access your node from your computer, but they have a simple how-to on doing that

Yea big price decrease of course right after I make this video haha. Definitely very compelling. If fetching your own info from the blockchain and broadcasting your own trxns is the main use case, really any of these node implementations will do. I was informed by someone at Start9 that they are FLOSS (MIT) which was not clear from some of their documentation so that may be relevant for you as well: x.com/start9dave/status/1752357846564344282?s=46&t=FY_o4CV6fruf1w2-eEIzLQ Even at the higher price vs. Umbrel now I think it’s a fantastic option or you could try the DIY version!

Please don't run nodes without mining. It's the miners' job to verify through fees. You cannot do anything to help propagate transactions. You can monitor them, but it's kinda pointless unless you operate a blockchain explorer.
@IanMajor
6 ай бұрын
The miner’s core job is to SETTLE transactions. Miners simultaneously run a node which enables them to verify whether transactions are well-formed and valid, but that is only a means to their end of settling trxns in blocks (to receive their reward). Non-mining nodes can not only reject proposed blocks from miners but also actively contribute to the P2P gossip (trxn propagation) process, disproving your claim.
