ABOUT THIS EPISODE
PerkINsights walks through her own experience setting up a Start9 server, with photos, from the day the box arrived to standing in the basement trying to identify a router. She lost her password, had to flash the whole thing and start over, and ended up in tears before a friend’s husband came over and saved the day. BitLovin shares his own war story, including the server that died just after the warranty expired. Along the way we cover why you plug straight into the router instead of using Wi-Fi, what Tor is and why your node would run over it, headless servers versus plugging in a monitor, and why losing everything on a Bitcoin node is far less scary than it sounds. We finish by grading Start9 on setup ease, support, and hardware.
