DIY Bitcoin Nodes Project – Bitcoin Magazine

If you were one of the many thousands that attended or watched the livestream of Bitcoin 2022, then right about now the euphoric energy is starting to drop. There were so many great discussions covering home mining, running a node, the Lightning Network, payment systems and adoption — it felt like the big topics were being hit on constantly. Now if this is your first time down the rabbit hole it can seem overwhelming as well as exciting. You may be wondering, where do I start? Maybe home mining is a little too difficult for your skillset at the moment or cost prohibitive, but what about building your own node? Many people new to the Bitcoin space confuse bitcoin mining with running a node; however it is a completely separate process.
