There are a lot of benefits to running a refurbished StartOS DIY node.

The best reason is that it is yours.

- you own it
- you decide what open source software and apps to install
- you don’t require permission
- you don’t pay a subscription
- you are not the product
- you are private, secure, and self sovereign

Or, run your own node on your own hardware using free and open source software.

Crucial Steps for an Uncensored Nostr Relay:

- buy an inexpensive used PC
- install @Start9 or @Umbrel ☂️ for an easy App Store experience
- install a Nostr relay app from the App Store
- use Tor for all communication to/from your node and/or relay

Or…

- install a Linux OS
- torify the OS to use either torsocks or transparent proxy for all WAN traffic
- install Git or Docker
- install whatever open source Nostr relay you want to use

Result:
- you don’t need a VPS or VPN
- no monthly subscriptions
- you own the hardware and full stack
- you are private, self sovereign, and ungovernable
- the only con is while this setup does offer technical privacy and safeguards, it might not offer you the strongest legal safeguards (not legal advice)

Basically, the process of shedding KYC for fiat transactions within those banks must be a very well known process in order for 99.9% of all criminal financial activity to avoid capture, fines, or prosecution.

We well understand the tools and process of shedding KYC in Bitcoin, but have very little understanding of how those three banks do it.

Do you know how? Is it common knowledge? LLMs don’t appear to know or are configured to avoid revealing the details of how (unlike the level of details they share about how CoinJoin works).
