Raspberry Pi 4 Bitcoin Full Node tutorial
MIT License
A noob-friendly step-by-step guide for selecting the hardware, configuring and running a Raspberry Pi, and configuring and running a Bitcoin full node with a focus on setting it up with enhanced privacy. This is meant for people who have limited or no experience with a Linux/UNIX-style operating system. I do my best to explain what each command is doing and why we're doing it.
Each step is outlined in a short YouTube video. This format allows me to easily insert changes when needed and avoid onerous video editing. The master playlist is here.
This project can be completed in a couple of nights or over a weekend.
