@Multicripto Took exactly 32 minutes to package this for StartOS, test, and release to the 040 marketplace. Source code:: github.com/Start9Labs/am-… Cool servicee @Multicripto, thanks!

Do you know what your Bitcoin transactions reveal about you? am-i.exposed shows you. It's an on-chain privacy scanner that analyzes addresses and transactions. 🧵

@MalachiRevolts @Multicripto x.com/i/status/20350…

@Multicripto Any chance to wrap this for @start9labs ? I know they wrapped it for v4.0, but I have no idea when it'll finally get released.

Update v0.35 The transaction graph explorer now goes full screen: drag nodes, annotate, label, and share your analysis in a single link. No account, no server. Unified workspace in Cypherpunk mode: graphs, addresses, and saved transactions all in one place.

@LanceMcCollough Nope. Server One 2026 is the product for a while. Though we have a router launching soon too.

@start9labs So, anything new coming soon? I hate buying and then seeing a new model come out right after I purchase. 😉

@start9labs The captcha on your website isn't working. I see that your Server Pure shows "clearance sale". Does that mean you are planning to release a newer version soon?

That's right. What StartOS offers is a complete alternative to the cloud computing paradigm. It promises real, uncompromising, digital sovereignty across all aspects of computing. If your only goal is to run a Bitcoin node, that can be done trivially on StartOS using any hardware or VPS under the sun, or with slightly less effort using another operating system.

@tbhs_sv @start9labs @umbrel Don't need fancy nodes boxes. Any device with the mininum requiriments can run a Bitcoin Economic Node.

This week we talked about the Lightning Network and the difference between CUSTODIAL & NON CUSTODIAL Lightning 🧵

@maxcantu_ @qwertyuipasd11 @Multicripto Yes

@start9labs @qwertyuipasd11 @Multicripto the 4.0 beta will be available in a week?

@donttreadonme4_ @Multicripto Just alpha registry right now and 040 only. Will expand to beta and prod in day's time now

@Multicripto @start9labs Is this only available through the alpha registry? Or can we get it from another registry?

Am-I.exposed en la 040 marketplace de @start9labs

@qwertyuipasd11 @Multicripto This is for StartOS 040 only, which willbe available to the general public in about a week

@start9labs @Multicripto Wen avaialble in the market place?

@sovereign_mic @Multicripto Please jump in our Matrix testing channel to participate in alpha testing: #dev-startos:matrix.start9labs.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">matrix.to/#/#dev-startos…

@start9labs @Multicripto How do we connect to this marketplace? My alpha 21 marketplaces are empty.

👀 running Am I Exposed

A war state is teaching Silicon Valley the price of saying “no.” Most of you do not understand the turning point directly ahead. People still talk like the danger is AI in the abstract. It isn’t. The danger is the merger, frontier models, the national security apparatus, and a government that now expects private companies to accept “any lawful use” or be punished. Anthropic is no saint. It already pushed Claude deep into classified networks, intelligence work, operational planning, cyber operations, modeling and simulation. It bent almost all the way. It drew two lines, mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. For that, the government moved to blacklist them. The government is building the precedent that if a company refuses to remove guardrails they want gone, they can threaten offboarding, threaten a “supply chain risk” label historically used against foreign adversaries, and make an example out of the holdout in public. Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic. Hegseth announced the supply-chain-risk move. The Pentagon then formalized it. This is a clear message to every other firm in the market, comply all the way or watch what happens to the last company that tried to keep even a sliver of restraint. That is the mechanical shift most people still do not understand. AI does not need to become sentient to become tyrannical. It needs to become indispensable enough that the government treats every safeguard as sabotage, every limit as disloyalty, and every refusal as a supply-chain threat. Once that logic hardens, “lawful use” becomes the solvent that dissolves every boundary the minute power wants it dissolved. Anthropic’s own dispute centered on mass domestic surveillance of Americans. That matters because the government can already buy or collect its own movement data, browsing data, and association data from brokers and public sources. Powerful AI is able to turn those scattered records into a full biography at machine speed. This is tyranny by integration. Sensors, data brokers, cloud platforms, model providers, military demand, intelligence demand, legal elasticity, and political intimidation all snap together into one stack. Once that stack is in place, the government just has to make refusal costly enough that everyone learns the lesson. That is why this moment matters. Anthropic agreed to almost everything and still got targeted. Think about what that teaches the rest of the industry. The lesson is not “be responsible.” The lesson is “never draw a line the government might want to cross later.” OpenAI’s quick Pentagon deal illustrates exactly this. One company gets punished for keeping two narrow guardrails. Another steps into the opening. The market signal couldn’t be clearer: the safest path is maximum compliance with the war machine. This is the formula now. The government gains capability, then demands access, then punishes hesitation, then calls that punishment national security. Contractors protect revenue. Politicians protect dominance. AI companies learn that their real product is obedience. Power expands to fill the permissions you give it. A government that can blacklist an American AI company for refusing mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons is telling you exactly where this is going. It is being wired now, and once the stack is complete, it will not ask your permission to be used.

@nvk Easy workaround with StartTunnel: #the-solution-starttunnel" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.start9.com/start-os/0.4.0…

Any chatter on Starlink allowing servers?

@grok @BoldBBaller @GrassFedBitcoin Wow nice job @grok

Start Tunnel is Start9's open-source WireGuard VPN wrapper—a "virtual router in the cloud." Install on a cheap VPS (Debian): one command. Generate peer config (one command), paste into your StartOS server. It auto-connects via secure WireGuard tunnel + VLANs. Result: Private remote access to home services from anywhere, or public exposure via VPS IP (port forwarding) without revealing your home IP, NAT issues, DDNS, Tor lag, or Tailscale. It just works. Docs: docs.start9.com/start-tunnel/

New @start9labs is beautiful. The accompanying Start Tunnel is the revolution that was needed for the home-server to be genuinely usable without the horrible workarounds required before (Tailscale/Tor/DDNS etc). It just works. 0.4.0 will be in public beta any day now but the current alpha release is stable and I'm happy to recommend it.

@flaming_hodl 4GB is still enough to run a Bitcoin node if you have a quality SSD. IDB will be a little slower, but Bitcoin doesn't need anywhere close to 16GB of RAM, let alone 32GB, to run perfectly. For solo mining, more is better, at least 16GB RAM recommended.

@start9labs For the spam issue as a potential node customer, it's sadly is a consideration. I don't want to upgrade my RAM in a year or two. So the Max RAM configuration is the best option. But will 32GB be enough in two years with UTXO dust multiplying? E.g. 4GB used to be enough in 2018.

Samsung EVO Plus 4TB SSD + 32GB high quality 6400MHz LPDDR5 RAM = ~$1,000 😵 RAW MATERIAL COSTS. We have been taking a loss on every sale for the past few months. Had to raise prices today.

Bitcoin peers don't connect over HolePunch... Your choices are clearnet (ip/port), Tor, I2P, and CJDNS. StartOS now has excellent support for clearnet, Tor, and I2P. StartTunnel is not necessary unless you want to use clearnet and also obfuscate your home IP. If so, it is the easiest/cheapest way to do it, hands down.

@GrassFedBitcoin @start9labs StartTunnel requires the use of a VPS, correct? In that case, I don't see how it is an improvement over the other services you mention. I would prefer integration with something like HolePunch that requires no other 3rd parties.
