Is there a possibility to make a masterclass on full privacy from beginner to expert would love to pay for that course.
Interesting feedback… definitively possible if enough of you are interested. Will put together a poll.
@@sunknudsen Yes Please
@@sunknudsen I'd love that
I’d pay for that instantly
would definitely if i can figure out how to achieve anonymous pseudonyms in a foolproof way. So say I want to build an online reputation/following. What do I need to do so with a pseudo that can't be traced to my irl identity yet not prohibitively user unfriendly... like would need to do this from my home internet and logging in/out should be doable several times a day without wanting to rip your hair out
I have been down the rabbit hole for the last 3 weeks too. This is an amazing tutorial definetely will look into this
You are back 🤩
Glad I could help with the project, look forward to seeing it grow.
Thanks so much for helping seed torrent. 🙌
Great content. Please keep up
Thank you for the video 😊
Can't wait for a MasterClass! Beside, I'm a web designer and I love your font. Where did you find it?
Hey Sun, could you make a course/ masterclass from beginner to advanced on privacy/ security?
Please do the MasterClass! It would be fantastic.
Hey sun, what’s the horizontal monitor that’s always in the background with different images?
Let’s go!!
Has anyone got a link for the Pi aluminium case used in this video ?
Is this something you still do master class on? I just came across this but i think ive come to the place in my journey to host my own btc node
Hello, great video, I saw your privacy set up of Firefox video. I have problem with firefox containers extension. It doesn’t show in the top right, other extensions are showing. What to do? Pls help
What do you recommend as an alternative to a raspberry pi and doesn’t have wireless connectivity?

Hey @sunknudsen, I’m interested in the masterclass but the link don’t seem to work. You stop running it?
What happens if the fingerprint sensor on your SSD dies? Is there a password override?
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!
thanks for the video! wouldn't it be equally private to use TAILS OS to broadcast transactions? then if the public node is being tracked, they won't know your IP. I presume there's no way for a malicious node to see the balance of your other address within the same wallet if their UTXOs aren't involved in the transaction? thanks
Masterclass page not working. Is it still available?
Is it recommended to use your wallet from a different device? Or can you use your wallet on the same Pi you made your node out of?
Hey Sun, I feel I need to warn you about a potential problem with Raspberry Pi. The harddisk you connected is over USB-3.0 and USB3 is VERY susceptible to stray 2.4 Ghz comms. There's a pretty good chance that your drive will register a bad block and the node data will go off-sync, within a month or two. Especially if that node is staying close to other 2.4 Ghz sources like wireless phones, headphones, mice, access points, etc. When you're copying a file to your external drive every now and then, you don't experience this problem but when you have a full bitcoin node syncing all the time and electrs indexing on top, that USB3 connection gets a LOT of use and sooner or later something does go wrong. This USB3 thing is a known and documented issue and no way to avoid it. I haven't kept up with developments in the SBC world but i'm guessing somebody probably came up with an nvme connection by now. You might want to go for something like that instead.
Very interesting… will dig into the topic. Does it help if USB-C cable is shielded?
Could this fry/corrupt an SSD hard drive if the node was positioned near a router?
@@sunknudsen How did this ended?
@@sunknudsenany update on this?
Start9 makes a cool way to setup your own node with an embassy server that is Tor based. What are your thoughts on Start9?
What about RaspiBlitz or Umbrel?
3:30 what if you are unable to be there …? Will it change something for your family ?
Which Raspberry Pi case is that? It looks very unusual.
Why not just use an encrypted volume that uses a passphrase instead of a samsung t7 touch ssd? Is there any security advantage other than not having to enter a long passphrase every time you boot?
Thanks for the info. I am definitely interested to hear more about all of this but TBF I'm more interested in Monero or Wownero than "bitcoin" or Etherium.. ^_^
Eagerly waiting for DeFi videos on ETH/SOL
hi i accidentally donlowled hola vpn with out noing that it was bad now i cant get it off pls help me
Is he saying Through TOR or True TOR…? Just wondering???
Where did you get the case for the RPI? Can you share a link?
Case is an Argon NEO Raspberry Pi 4 (see www.amazon.com/dp/B0824W5DDN)
@@sunknudsen thanks for the quick response.
Need a updated hardware (2 years later) list
I host a Monero node, which is a much better cryptocurrency if you're interested in privacy.
@Pedro Abreu I think the full blockchain is ~80-100GB currently. I host a pruned node on my PC that's around 45GB. I'm not sure if there's a torrent for it, I downloaded my node over the command line.
Masterclass link broken
Yes, were is it, is there a new link available ?
Why the focus on Bitcoin and not Monero? I've been told Monero is the go to privacy cryptocurrency.
Great question… Bitcoin is more ubiquitous and has a better chance to replace reserve currencies with a decentralized and democratic*ish alternative… that said, Monero is much more private. I like both!
@@sunknudsen
Yes!
bitty's demise would require a planetary nuclear / emp attack, to eliminate all 15k nodes.
Monero could be shut down in an afternoon by domestic authorities.
If you need someone to help seed I have GB internet and I love what you’re doing. Reach out to me if interested. I would love to help the channel. You’re doing a service!
Hey James, project could definitively use more seeding… please check out github.com/sunknudsen/privacy-guides/tree/master/how-to-self-host-hardened-bitcoin-node/misc and reach out by email if you need help setting things up. Thanks so much for helping out. 🙌
Just use Monero.
The virgin Bitcoin vs the chad Monero
Bitcoin is impossible to use privately, host a privacy coin node instead.
You can wash KYC bitcoin via monero, takes a few minutes..
hi we are an ordinal project and looking to hire a professional btc node operator. Would love to chat with you brother
If you want privacy, maybe you need a monero - Michael Sailor
Lost me at 53 seconds.
No more classes? You lost me at step 5 of the guide. Every time it saysHeads-up: replace ca-mtr-wg-101.conf with Mullvad endpoint. Well what is the mullvad endpoint ?
