What memory is the Raspberry Pi?
4GB or 8GB?
Thanks for the video, very helpful
Do I have to have a "MyNode" to use mynode software?
I was thinking about using a mini PC for doing this
Best Bitcoin (not shitcoin) content on RUclips. Looking forward to tutorials on the individual "apps" inside myNode. Thanks Ben
Thanks Ryan! They'll be coming soon
Ben, i can't tell you how valuable and informative this video was. Thank you for taking the time man....Can't wait for the future tutorials on Samourai Whirlpool and Dojo....Lightning donation coming your way....all the best
Hey no problem at all! I love making these videos. Thanks for the sats too! Always appreciated
Thanks BT!!!. I asked Santa, and he delivered my raspi 4 w/ 8G ram parts. (btw, I got the slick pi clear case with the layered shims of plastic. Love it. The pi fit right in) and I slapped the parts together in about 1/2 hour. Lots of pretty lights. I can ssh into the mynode box . Now just waiting for the entire block chain ledger to download. It looks beautiful. It looks like this download part of the build is going to take a few hours (if not all night long). Probs ready by morning. This is what I call fun as all get out. All I can say is get yourselves a RASPERRY PI and build your own lightening mynode!!!! For two reasons: 1) rely on your on transactional node for privacy. 2) cut transaction costs from $8-10's to cents per txn. No brainer. Next I want to build a BTC real time clock with one of these buggars and wire up your favorite by/sell indicators with a trade bot. Seems easy to do. Next on my todo list.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Best BTC tech videos on YT.
Crikey I've just had my Pi 4 delivered and this video is absolutely perfect timing Ben
Amazing! Let me know how everything goes 😁
Will do. The heat sinks that came were wrong so have ordered a pack and will be starting tomorrow. Really excited to be honest! Bought all the parts separately and save a ton! Even got a power cord with an on off switch as well as a case with a built in fan lol
Great video man, I've been trying to get my NODE up and running and I hadn't found a video as well done as this one. Explaining everything from 0. Keep up the good work! Would like to see more videos about what the NODE can do!
Hey Ben. Great channel. Do you have a preference between Mynode and Umbrel?
Ordered one (hardware) based upon your review. Setting it up now - ty
How’s it working out for u?
@@EndlessRoutes Very well - easy setup overall (just took some patience to download blockchain)
@@locksherlo6102 how much are u making?
This is an interesting tutorial. Thank you for sharing. It would be nice to have a tutorial to switch off the node too. It happened that I had to relocate in a new place and couldn't find a way to keep the same set up.
Thank you for making this video!!!
Excellent video. I just wish that video's explaining how put kit together was this easy. I have got a lightning mode sitting here for some time and not found a video which I could look at to install the thing successfully my self. All I've been told is download a zap bitcoin lightning Wallet.
I can relate to it
Great work BTC Sessions!
Great video, thank you. I already have mynode up and running, but really looking forward to future videos on some of the modules mynode has!
I am impressed, seen mynode website before but this video convince me to do it. Thanks!
Awesome! Really glad you're gonna try!
Amazing teaching. I had no ideer this was so easy
Great one..... This is the easiest way to run a BTC Node that I've seen. Thanks..
Hey Ben, this is the first of your videos that I see and probably not the last one
Dude you're the best, and speak proper english!! Thats a like and a sub for me.
MynodeBTC is amazing ⚡
Will these specifications still work in 10 years? How would you future proof your node so you don't have to update it? Buy a larger size SSD?
If I have this node running all day, how much on average will that cost for the electricity? Will it drain my internet speed?
did you find an answer for this one mate, I'm also curios about this one ?
would love to hear anyones opption on this.
Likely it will signal lots of activity to your ISP and they will be able to see what youre connected to. Men in black will show up at your door and make you give it all up.
awesome job buddy. I'm dumb and your way of teaching it was fantastic. ty
I enjoyed this video. This guy explained tips that I find could benefit as a beginner. Would reccomend
Thanks heaps mate. I appreciate.....this method sounds much more "newbie" friendly.
i'm loving mynode. running a raspberry pi 3 b+ as well as a node within a VM with virtualbox.
how much you earn from that?
Thanks! Great job! God love BTC.
Wow, great video, thanks! I'll be buying the hardware and get started.
Can you do a video on how to switch from a 1TB SSD to a larger SSD?
Thanks so much for this tutorial! 👏👏👏
Brilliant!
Many thanks for all the content , you make it all easy to see and understand . Wishing you an abundance of Bitcoin 👀😜✌️💚☯️
Great video! I look forward to your reviews of each application on the MyNode.
Thanks for your tutorial - quick sync now at 11.71%
Thank you for all of this content 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is an amazing video!! I’m gonna start gathering some stuff and looking into doing this myself
Does the Whirlpool on MyNode let you mix on the node or do you still have to mix on your phone?
We need a video showing of the possible struggles to get this going. I have flashed the SD card but nothing happens upon trying to connect to the mynode link when I put it into my node device.
Great video !! Does the quicksync download feature leak my IP address ??
and does the community free download still default to a torr download.
This was cool Benny. This put the Casa 2 in the bin. Way more feauters in MyNode, Casa 2 doesnt have BTCpay server as promised & none of the other stuff with this for the same price.
You can repurpose your Casa 2 by taking it apart if you like!
Brilliant video, so well explained. Thanks!!
Thanks for the great video and notes. Your video gave me the confidence to jump in. I now have my own node running on the Raspberry Pi 4. Eager to learn the next steps. to best utilize having a noe and get my coins secured. Thanks Again!
Hey no worries! Really glad they're helping you. Always excited to see more people becoming self sovereign!
I've got another video on how to connect a variety of wallets to your node too, so be sure to check that one out!
Very Good and thank you for sharing this! I will def. support and start a node. Best !
Do I have to have a "MyNode" to use mynode software?
Thanks for the very good video. I immediately understood everything. I have a question: The full node updates itself even when I switch off the computer?
you should be able to run a chmod-type command @5:00am sudo apt (whatever the update command is from the mynode site) i think might work to effectively give you auto updates brotha.
Awesome tutorial!
Could you share how much data has been downloaded in GB/month by running your own node?
Is It provide lifetime VPN service? So no need to pay subscribtion to other VPN premium service?
How fast the speed & latency?
wonderful video. i took notes. 📝
Very informative, Thanks!
Fantastic!!!! Perfect.
Started watching your videos recently and I like the series on btc. Does all this apply to making a node in USA?
How much do u make off this?
You don't make money from a node. You are given the ability to transact freely, and no one can stop you from receiving/sending money to anyone on the planet (unlike centralized solutions like Robinhood).
Basically a node allows you to enforce the rules of Bitcoin for yourself with no middle-men.
Can you just use an external HD to run this? I'm basically referring to something you'd use to backup your files.
Saludos quería saber si al día de hoy marzo 2024 aún sigues teniendo el mismo nodo y cómo va todo?
Do you have any concerns about the validity of using mynodebtc? Seems like a another 'trusted 3rd party'.
Thanks. Good video.
I didn't see a link for purchasing the white-and-red case.
This was a great tutorial. Question, is there a way to get MyNode running using wifi instead of using a network cable? The thing is so small that I'd like to have one less cable if possible. Thanks, and I used your affiliate links to by all my gear.
Is there any special steps to follow if you want to upgrade from a 1TB hard drive or just unplug it and plug the new hard drive in?
I ordered a mynode one+ but waiting to get it setup as I'm working in a different province than I live. I can't wait until I'm able to set it up and take a look at everything they offer.
Enjoy it! They're so fun to play with!
Can someone please explain what's the benefit having a own node to safe a few pennies on fee? All transaction eventually still require to go through miners right?
Running a local node mean your in control of your crypto. A node also allows you to use coin-mixing services as well such as Whirlpool to help you be safe from preying eyes... Added benefits of using a local node are to give a user the advantage of additional privacy and security features (zk-SNARKs, ring signatures, Tor etc) to block transactions from showing on the Blockchain using Tor.
I have Bitcoin Core running on Ubuntu 24/7 with the entire blockchain downloaded. Using SSD drives and Starlink high speed unlimited internet. I also have a wallet installed and open in Bitcoin core. But this is all new to me. Questions: Is my system automatically working as a node, or do I need to do something else? There are 10 peers connected all the time. And, how can I run a Lightning node along with this? Or would it better to only run a Lightning node and not the Bitcoin Core? Many thanks!
Do we need to load raspian OS ( with or without noobs) on the pi before we load the mynode software? Or is this only required if we want to access the mynode software FROM the pi directly?
QUESTION: Picked up a SSD Drive and a Raspberry Pi 4 and started running MyNode but we are now on DAY 9 of down loading the blockchain. MyNode help took days to respond to emails & didn't really answer our question as to why it might be taking so long. Can you offer an explanation? We have high speed internet which is functioning properly. At this stage I am very disappointed in MyNode and am considering starting over with a different Node service. This does not seem to be functioning properly. They do not recommend the quick synch for an SSD drive.
what does quick sync even really mean> when you sync a full node using the bitcoin core wallet it takes a day or two depending on hardware. How is theirs only taking a a few hours? i sense some something not right here. Is the full node synced to bit core core block chain and is can we verify the pgp signature of the software being installed on the rasberri PI
Can I install the mynode on some old laptop? I have got old hp laptop at home with 1tb HDD
Hi BTC Sessions,
First, thank you for the guide. I set up my node and it completed downloading this past weekend and I was able to view the UI. I noticed there was an update so I clicked the 'one click upgrade', however the node has been on the updating screen for over 48 hours now. Is it normal to take this long? Do you have any troubleshooting suggestions?
Thanks.
Super video, thanks so much Ben, this is really helpful. I have been thinking about 'upgrading' tech/security wise from a hw wallet to running a full node, but have indeed been intimidated so far ;-) This does appear fairly easy indeed. Any experience with using this node in combination with trezor/ledger hw wallets? Or, what would be alternative means to generate/manage private keys with/via MyNode? Thanks again, much appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words Mark!
So you can actually use your trezor or ledger with an Electrum or Wasabi wallet that is connected to myNode. I did a video on how to connect these wallets (Electrum and Wasabi) to this device, as well as separate videos on how to use each of them. They should be easy to search up here. I hope all of this helps!
Nice one thanks
Great video. How does a node work with an off line wallet like nano X?
can i use wifi instead of the cable to conect to internet?
What do you think is better Umbrel or MyNode?
Nice one, thank you.
What to do if I have no SD card port on my laptop?
I don't see the point in running a node, what is the benefit?
setting up raspberry pi is fairly trivial. generally, it's burning an image to a microsd card regardless of which operating system you choose. but, once you boot it up, that's when things are different.
would be interested in further info on what mynode features there are and delving into what it can do. does the 1tb fill up over time or maintain a general size? can you use proxies? how would tor impact the relative speed versus just using a vpn? can you use both tor & vpn - and if so, which one first? openvpn or built-in app? remote login? what are use cases and configuration with mobile or desktop in things like electrum or samurai, etc.
what can you do with the command line interface? network speeds? do you need to open up certain ports? many questions like these pop up learning more about it to see whether it's sonething i'd jump into. 🤔
I went to mynode to see in the hardware list a 16GB microSD. But you used a 32GB. Is there any benefit to using the larger memory card?
The Premium package is impressive.
Living in a 220v country it's always a headache to find the voltage for gear. Why that is not noted in specs is beyond me. But I did spot on the snaps on the amazon site that it goes to 240v so the power looks to be OK
Ben Da Rat a 32gb card gives no additional benefit. There is ample room on a 16gb for the OS. I think Ben just had a 32gb laying around.
Can you use a 1tb micro sd and use that instead of the big SSD? Also can you get one of the little screens for the PI and use that?
AKS74S I am not sure about the 1tb SD card. Possibly if you partitioned it and put the OS on one partition and myNode pointed the data to the other partition. But 1tb SD cards are super expensive you might as well get a separate HDD or SSD. There are other benefits of having the 2 separate drives I won't go over here.
As for the screen there is no current LCD screen implementation now and I know adding that feature is far down the list of priority updates.
I wish I could find a good tutorial on how to install MyNode on a PC. Several attempts lead me to believe it is not possible. My PC will automatically ask to reformat the drive every time I reboot MyNode on Debian.
What happen raspberry pi, no video of what happen after flashing
Regarding the sd card...where do I plug it into? My Macbook Pro doesn't have a port for it. Thanks
One acquires a MicroSD to SD Memory Card Adapter. Many times when you buy the microSD card, you get the adapter that in turn is inserted into the SD card reader on your computer. There are USB card reader solutions available if your computer doesn't have the slot.
Real quick, why would one want or need to own a node?
The main reason is a mix of privacy and self verifying all your transactions. This software stack in particular gives you a lot of other things you can trustlessly do like merchant payments and lightning wallets.
Privacy wise, any mobile wallet you have will be calling home to someone else's node, meaning they would have your tx information as well as your IP address. Running your own node prevents this data leakage.
The node also shows you to essentially trust no one when doing transactions.
It also supports the network and gives you a vote over which ruleset you desire.
Excellent
Don't you get paid for having a full node?
9:25 will a modem work? do i need a router?
How much did the hardware cost you in total? Thanks
Cool! Can I run this in PC windows?
how well does this bitcoin full node work with bitcoin armory ver .96
Okay... but why would you want to run your own node?
Can mynodebtc access the web with the Raspberry Pi's wifi? My router is in the living room but I want my node in my office.
so when we go to 'mynode.local' & enter our product key, does it take a while for the website to format the drive?
Is there a canadian exchange that tool the place of Quadriga ?
mynode.local/product-key is not loading on my desktop , can anyone help ?
now, you shoul make a video about how to get rasp pi 4b. :)
Nicely done. Now how do you Start mining bitcoins.
How many time for the quicksync ?
where can you get raspberry pi??
Thanks for the vid. Why a raspberry though? I see many people running nodes use them, but what's the benefit?
It's beneficial to have your node always - on, so a cheap dedicated device like the pi is an ideal option. This way when you're out and about, your mobile wallets on your phone can be referencing your own node still.
IS POSIBLE A TUTORIAL HOW TO INSTALL MYNODE IN RAW PC ?
thanks !
Can a rasberry pi 3 model A+ run lightning?
The hard drive enclosure not only protects the hard drive, but more importantly, it contains a SATA to USB adapter.
Does any other tech exist right now for a small business that wants to accept BTC as a payment option to instantly verify the legitimacy of the BTC they just received besides setting up one of these?
No heat sync on the processor?
Didn't have one kicking around, but the kit in the description comes with a fan in the case 😁
