Just restarted my server, can someone zap me and see if Alby Hub is functioning?

Just sent my first transaction using the new setup, time to decommission my first node. I put this together with equipment that I already had and left the DebianOS, I just downloaded the Bitcoin Core program and let it run. This worked great for connecting my own wallet and broadcasting transactions but I was limited by my own technical knowledge of adding more features like a block explorer, lightning, etc. Sadly in 2025 it is no longer recommended to run a bitcoin node on a small device like this because of all the spam/runes/ordinal/shitcoinery on the bitcoin blockchain over the last few years. This is why I run Knots! Say no to spam and make nodes affordable for everyone.

Signed up for X yesterday, already locked out twice.

Look at all the shitcoin #SPAM! My new node's mempool on the right has significantly less spam in the mempool because I'm filtering out non-monetary transactions with Knots.

Another node joins the network. 24 hours later and we are up and running! That was way faster than my previous RasPi. I'll do a comparison between the nodes in terms of cost, features, usability, etc.

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Relocated my home miner to its new home in the laundry room for the summer months, it was getting a little spicy in the living room!

New node with 16gb RAM and 2TB SSD running Start9OS and BTC Knots! Let's see how long it takes to sync the entire blockchain.
