​Workshop: Set up your own BTC Node or Server using Start9

​Now is the time to start participating in the open and decentralized internet, known as Web5. No programming skills required!

​Web5 is an open and decentralized peer-to-peer internet built on the Bitcoin network, where individuals own all their hardware, software, and data, with no third party user agreements.

​📍 Located in Nashville, 2.5 miles from Music City Center.

​➡️ Show up at 1pm or 7pm to participate in the workshop.

​

​Why run a node or server?

​We all know not your keys, not your coins. Now, let's go deeper:

​Not your node, not your transaction.

​Use your node to contribute to the Bitcoin Network, verify transactions, and enhance your privacy and security.

​Not your server, not your data.

​Host your own server to run Nextcloud, which replaces your Google Drive/iCloud, Zoom, and much more. When you own your own data, you're in control.

​This is an interactive workshop where we will actually set up your node together. You can bring your own hardware, buy it from us (starting at $300), or just watch us set one up & do your own later.

​What you'll need:

​-Laptop (we will have a few available to borrow, first-come-first-served)

​-Hardware to use for your node (we will have some available for purchase starting at $300, totally optional!)
recommended specs:
Quad-Core CPU 2.5Ghz+
8GB+ RAM
1TB+ SSD
see https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/diy/diy-x86 for more details
