Not Your Node,
Not Your Rules
What is the RaspiBlitz?
The RaspiBlitz is a do-it-yourself Lightning Node based on LND running together with a Bitcoin-Fullnode on a RaspberryPi 4 – with a SSD and a nice touchscreen for easy setup & monitoring. This setup is totally unique in the environment of Bitcoin Nodes.
The RaspiBlitz is designed to be a very secure routing node. Therefore it does not use docker or any insecure JavaScript libraries.
RaspiBlitz is mainly targeted for learning how to run your own node decentralized from home – because: Not your Node, Not your Rules. Discover & develop the growing ecosystem of the Lightning Network by becoming a full part of it. The RaspiBlitz is now running in more than 1000 households around the globe. It is the perfect solution to stop the decline of Bitcoin Nodes.
The RaspiBlitz was created by Christian @rootzoll and is powered by FULMO, a Berlin based research startup focused on the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
It is even possible to earn Bitcoin with your RaspiBlitz. For every payment your rout with your Blitz through the network you get some routing fees. That is not much but that was also the case in early Bitcoin mining.
