| In order for your Bitcoin experience to be truly self-sovereign and trustless you should consider running your node(s) on your own hardware and internet connection.

| BTCPayServer can be successfully installed on the following hardware. The end result is a small, quiet node that is fast enough to sync from block zero. The total cost is approximatly $225 (including tax and delivery). These are "off the shelf" components that can be purchased from any online retailer (TigerDirect, NewEgg, Amazon, BestBuy etc). It will take roughly 24 hours to sync the Bitcoin blockchain. You can save little money by cutting the RAM and hard drive size in half. | ||

Here's a pretty simple one to follow [How to configure a static IP address on Ubuntu 18.04](https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-configure-static-ip-address-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux).
