aantonop: Bitcoin Q&A: Full node and home network security Featured

  • Thursday, 30 August 2018 17:30
Does running a Bitcoin and / or Lightning node at home attract hackers? Why is security through obscurity not the best strategy? What is some general advice on securing your personal computer and home network? Are there full node starter kits? Could bitcoin nodes be cut off if ISPs blocked port 8333? How do nodes connect to each other? How could you route around censorship? Will Bitcoin evolve into a more stealthy and anonymous protocol? These questions are from the June monthly Patreon session, which took place on June 24th 2018.
