How do I start running my own node
2 projects | /r/BitcoinBeginners | 11 Apr 2023

I would start my research with Umbrel, Raspiblitz, Mynodebtc, RaspiBolt or Embassy. A couple of guides: https://thecryptogarage.com/umbrel-linux-ubuntu-node-build/ https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

Sounds like you'll enjoy the Raspibolt guide - it's how I set up my node. GUI stuff is in the "bonus" section. r/raspibolt for help

If you're the DIY type I strongly recommend the raspibolt tutorial - geared for a Pi but good for any device, just substitute arm64 for your architecture.

Another way is to setup a full node on a dedicated device and follow the guide to setup everything so you can connect a hardware wallet to your node: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

Metal Seed Backup

Best cold-storage wallet?
1 project | /r/Bitcoin | 2 Jun 2023

Okay, so now, how about the availability of the information. Is your seed phrase on your device of choice acceptably available to you? How about if your house was broken into? How about if your house burned down? Consider all the things that could harm the availability of your seed phrase to you, without sacrificing the confidentiality of that information. A steel plate that can survive a house fire https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/ can increase your availability, but does it sacrifice confidentiality? How about if its kept in a safe? How about, geodispursed mutli-sig with steel plates that are also geographically dispersed? Its a good trade off between availability and confidentiality and you can read more about it here: https://glacierprotocol.org/docs/overview/multi-signature-security/
What hardware wallet do you recommend to keep my Bitcoin for the long term?

1 project | /r/Bitcoin | 16 May 2023

If you want true cold storage then best option would be generate a wallet offline. Make note of the seed phrase. Check this seed phrase is correct and can recover the wallet! Then backup seed on steel hardware like a cryptosteel or other method of your choice from this list. https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/
What way are you storing your seed phrase physically other than paper?
