@karozagorus @MultiBitcoiner @nvk one reason yes! Also in general, if I'm going for decentralization, I should go for decentralization.

Not that hard to setup either. There's a almost one-click option that sets up one as a new VM on digital ocean.

@karozagorus @MultiBitcoiner @nvk you could, and yes it would leak your IP. Though you could use a VPN.

VPSs are cheap. The one I'm running this on is their second lowest, at $10/month.

@pete @MultiBitcoiner @nvk I didn't manage to figure out how to run a VPN through a synology nas or a router

@karozagorus @MultiBitcoiner @nvk so mine is being hosted on digital ocean. I haven't used a Bitcoin only VPS for awhile, so no idea what's good these days.

@pete I heard lunanode is being recommended.

Vultr accept Bitcoin as well but to start with you need a cc when signing up I think.

@goodc0re it's a pity Scuttlebutt is a bit too immature to really work out. Truly decentralized, to the point where you don't even need the internet.

@pete @nvk didn't nick Szabo once say "Trusted 3rd parties are security holes, except if that trusted 3rd party is nvk" ?

@MultiBitcoiner @nvk nvk has three letters in his name. That's how you know you can trust him.
