Just pulled the trigger: snagged a Start9 server + Coldcard Q and I'm running my own full Bitcoin node now. No more trusting third-party BS—full sovereignty, validating every block myself, signing with air-gapped security on the Q's beast of a screen and keyboard. ⚡️🔑
This is what real self-custody feels like in 2026. Fiat's melting, but my stack's locked down tight. Who's else running their own node? Drop your setup below—I'll zap the sickest ones.
@BTC Sessions @primal @preston @node thoughts? Time to orange-pill the neighbors?

Poll: Your Bitcoin setup level?

Still on exchanges 😬

Hardware wallet only

Running a node like a boss

Full sovereign stack (Start9 + Coldcard gang)

Do you have enough th to mine blocks? A btc node only improves your chances for a block slightly. Check out ocean.xyz and using dataum node to make a custom block template. Are you going to use nodes or knots?

Custom build running start9 on proxmox. Hardware wallets. Bitaxe mining and building my own blocks with Datum, signalling BIP110 of course.
