What's the difference between Raspibolt and Raspiblitz? Is the bolt a bit more hands on? I have a Pi4 8GB btw.
I'm thinking of doing it all myself, I'm just a tad worried I might mess something up and start leaking over clearnet for example.
i'm relatively comfortable with bitcoin core by now, but have never touched lnd or electrum server (except eps)

I had mistakenly assumed that Raspiblitz was a kit. Given that you can buy the hardware separately for Raspiblitz, I don't know the pros and cons of Raspibolt vs. Raspiblitz. I would be interested in that info also.

RaspiBlitz is a nice solution, has been refined quite well, but the cost is a bit more if you go with the touchscreen setup... I'd also recommend RaspiBolt if you don't currently have the touchscreen hardware and want a cheaper "headless" solution.

The RaspiBolt project is also pretty solid and has pretty minimal requirements being just the Pi, powersupply, microSD + storage drive.

As long as you have the minimum requirements (I'm not sure what Raspberry Pi you're running) all of the above should be fine, and is likely down to personal preference.

To expand on the point above about RaspiBolt. It has good documentation available along with Raspiblitz, which reduces the complexity, which I believe is set out a little better than some of the alternatives. So, if you are new its probably a decent starting point.

Does anyone recommend either of these projects or know of other projects that I should consider and why? So far I'm most interested in myNode and Raspiblitz. I know Umbrel is easy but I heard the security isn't the best.

If you already have an RPi and and a drive, then you want to set up the RaspiBolt project: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

I have bitcoind, lnd, electrs, JoinMarket, btc-rpc-explorer, and TOR set up on my RPi via Raspibolt.

I’d advise you to most this thread to the more technical sub of the forum. You’re more likely to get constructive answers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0

I've been running Core on my computer for a while, but now it's time to turn my Pi into a more fully featured node. WIth lightning, electrs, and all that other good stuff. I've been looking at some full node products and evaluating the benefits. So far I've come across: myNode, Raspiblitz, Umbrel. Nodl One/Dojo and Start9 are expensive and I already have the hardware so I'll pass.

Does anyone recommend either of these projects or know of other projects that I should consider and why? So far I'm most interested in myNode and Raspiblitz. I know Umbrel is easy but I heard the security isn't the best.

Any recommendations welcome!
