A node with a place in the room

SatoshiBox is Sunnyhill’s own Bitcoin and Lightning node, located in the Playground. It runs RaspiBlitz with Bitcoin Core and LND, making the network part of the workshop rather than an abstract service somewhere else.

Learning by running it

The project is a hands-on exploration of self-hosting, Lightning routing and digital independence. Operating the node is part of understanding the protocols and the infrastructure behind small payments.
