Hi guys, first of all I want to make things clear, I am btc maxi, I’m here for the long-run. After a few days of research and learning about full nodes, I have decided to run one because I want to strength the network and make it more secure, my first question is, Should I build one from scratch or buy one? I have read some articles such as the link from the Bitcoin Magazine, I understand it would improve my understanding and I’ll have higher security and privacy, but on the other hand I have zero knowledge of computer science, I now basic stuff because a few years I wanted to build my own PC so I know the name of basic components but that is it. I feel buying a node from NODL or from Lightning in a Box would be much more efficient tbh but idk.
Second Q, I currently have my btc in a Ledger Nano X, I was planning to buy a ColdCard until I realised each full node has its own wallet. Should I use my future Full Node’s wallet as my main wallet, should I stick to my Ledger Nano X or should I buy the ColdCard?
Third Q, this may sound stupid but f*ck it, if my full node for whatever reason disconnects from the network, for example because by accident someone unplugs it, or because there is a electricity shutdown in my street, and I have my btc in my full node’s wallet, as soon as the electricity and internet connection comes back, my node will reconnect, re-sync, and I nothing will happen to my btc right?
Thank you guys for taking the time to read this and respond, love u <3 😉
