About btcnode.run

A small independent site that helps beginners run a Bitcoin Core node.

What this is

Guides, a command reference and a browser node lab for people who want to run their own node. It covers Bitcoin only. It is not affiliated with the Bitcoin Core project, and it does not sell or hold anything.

Where the facts come from

Install steps and option defaults follow the Bitcoin Core release files and documentation at bitcoincore.org. Hardware and VPS prices move, so we give ranges and tell you to check the vendor. How hardware is compared: methodology.

How the site is paid for

There are no ads, no cookies and no analytics. Some links may become affiliate links; when they are, they are marked next to the link. Details: disclaimer and privacy.
