Bitcoin Nodes
MiniBolt is a step-by-step open-source guide for building a Bitcoin and Lightning full node on any x86-64 personal computer using standard Debian/Ubuntu Linux commands. It includes Bitcoin Core, an Electrum server, a blockchain explorer, and LND or Core Lightning — all reachable over Tor and WireGuard VPN. Derived from the RaspiBolt guide, MiniBolt is actively maintained on GitHub and is hardware-agnostic: any modern PC or mini-PC can be used.
