**The RaspiBlitz is a do-it-yourself Bitcoin & Lightning Fullnode running on a RaspberryPi 4&5 with a nice display for easy setup & monitoring.**

RaspiBlitz is mainly targeted for learning how to run your own node decentralized from home - because: Not your Node, Not your Rules. Discover & develop the open-source ecosystem of Bitcoin by becoming a full part of it.
