    Everyone can read a book or watch a video - but it’s the Hands-On Tutorials at places like BTC Sessions that makes real progress possible for the regular folks. 👏👏
  • @cryptocloaks
    Now that's a beautiful looking node. We might be biased XD. Keep up the great work on how to videos!
  • @Zoofactory
    I had no idea. Wow. I almost bought a computer today at a box store. Thanks for putting this together.👌
  • Wow, that was an amazing tutorial, thank you so much! I am getting my raspberry pi very soon and I think I will give umbrel node a try :) I love how you explain it man
  • This is really a great instructional video. I have a MacBook Pro, and I'm wanting to run a Bitcoin node. I want to use my Mac, of course, and I'm learning how to install Umbrel on my Mac. You are a HUGE help!
  • @chrisjonda7009
    Just set my node up from scratch after watching your video. I have zero computer knowhow. I appreciate it.
  • @zeycus
    I am pretty clumsy with this kind of stuff, but nevertheless the tutorial was easy to follow and succeeded in my first attempt. The only thing extra I had to do was the connection of a fan included with the Arduino case I got. That was explained in its instructions manual. My Umbrel is already happily churning blocks.
  • @timfrey2169
    Excellent tutorial. Best I found as it explains everything I need to get my Pi-node up and running and get the most from it. Last few parts due in today.
  • @jimhewitt2209
    Great video. Looks like umbrel has updated their website since recording. There is now a great step by step slider on how to download and get onto microSD card. 👍👍
  • @RickStringer
    I finally did it. Setup my own Bitcoin Node. Thank you, Ben, for inspiring me to try this.
  • @grinderbaseb
