Bitcoin Nodes

RaspiBlitz is an open-source, DIY Bitcoin and Lightning node project designed to run on a Raspberry Pi. Created by Christian Rotzoll and actively maintained by the community, RaspiBlitz provides a full Bitcoin Core node, Lightning Network node (LND or Core Lightning), and a suite of Layer 2 tools via a menu-driven terminal interface. It is designed to teach users about Bitcoin infrastructure through hands-on self-hosting. A popular choice for technically inclined Bitcoiners who want maximum transparency and control over their node software.
