Thank you for the positive input as well as the suggestion! We will post on product hunt in the coming days.

If you’re talking about something like BTCPayServer, this is something we plan to integrate into future iterations of nimbleNODE made specifically for businesses/individuals looking to accept payments directly to their node. It's not currently possible to install on this first version of nimbleNODE as it only comes with a 16GB sd card. BTC + BTCPayServer w/Lightning takes a minimum of 80GB (their recommended minimum requirement) so this is something that will be built-in along with Lightning and fastsync in the next model on higher-end hardware.

Having said that, you can certainly still spin up a BTCPayServer separately and use the BTC nimbleNODE device to actually receive the payments. If you are running a business and accepting crypto, it is highly recommended to a run a full node regardless and nimble is a great option for this. This way, all keys/seed phrases are fully in your possession.

Thank you for your interest! It is certainly our goal to be able to have one device run multiple nodes of different chains, doubling the nimbleNODE as a multi-coin hardware wallet that doesn't require trusting a third-party, only your nodes directly.

We will certainly be adding this feature to future iterations of nimbleNODE devices, so stay in the nimbleNODE loop to find out when this is available!

Yes, these devices are to run a node of a chain of your choice; future versions will allow the option to run multiple chains' nodes on one device. With the pairing of the mobile app, the device doubles as a secure hardware wallet that allows sending/receiving of your crypto via your phone.

nimbleNODEs first connect to your phone through bluetooth, then you enable your nimbleNODE to access your wifi through the app. It's recommended to keep your device plugged in 24/7, which consumes a negligible amount of electricity. However, whether it's shut down, unplugged, the wifi resets, or there's a power outage, the device won't require a reindex in order to be up to date, saving the user hours of their time.

Awesome! What better way to keep track of all those nodes through an easy to use mobile app?

Keep us posted on your experience!

We would like to introduce the smallest Bitcoin full node around - the nimbleNODE.

Our goal is to provide a simple and affordable full node option, since many people throughout the world lack the knowledge or resources needed to run a Bitcoin full node. nimbleNODEs are a portable Bitcoin full node that focuses on simplicity, and are as affordable and customizable at it gets. Whether you need an alternative for cold storage or an option to send/receive Bitcoin securely, nimbleNODE has got you covered!

While nimbleNODE makes use of commodity hardware like the Pi and Arduino, we will be working on our own customized chips soon, that will support a wide range of node use-cases.


To check out the device and/or pre-order, visit us on the nimbleNODE site:

https://nimblenode.io/


Access through mobile (Android/iOS):

With nimbleNODE, ease of use and access is top priority. Control your nimbleNODE completely from your mobile phone in 3 simple steps.

1. Plug in the nimbleNODE device with the included power adapter
2. Download the nimbleNODE app from the App Store or the Google Play Store
3. Open the app and go through the onboarding screen to enable bluetooth and wifi

After a successful setup, you’ll be able to:

- Monitor your node status
- Send/receive BTC
- Send commands to the device (RPC)
- Use nimbleNODE as a cold wallet (similar to ledger)

The app will feel the same as any normal Bitcoin wallet would, the only difference is your transactions will be routed through your nimbleNODE instead of a random full node somewhere else.


Key Highlights:

- Controllable through a single mobile application (Android/iOS)
- Pre-synced pruned Bitcoin blockchain (4GB)
- Ability to track BTC balance as well as send/receive BTC
- Small, lightweight, and easy to bring with you anywhere
- Reduced likelihood of reindex (In case of abrupt unplugging, power outages, updating with indexing configurations, etc.)

If pre-syncing doesn’t sit well with you, we provide the option to sync down from scratch.


Included in the box:

- nimbleNODE device
- USB 5 Volt power adapter
- 16 GB SD-Card for expandable storage (next release will include miniature SSD to allow non-pruned chains)


Technical Specs:

- Dimensions: 1” Width x 2.1” Height
- Weight: 11.8 grams
- Capabilities: Bluetooth, Wireless
- ARMv6 Chip

Please feel free to ask us any questions or give us feedback on what you think!

Awesome! Let us know about your experience, we live for feedback! 

Just posted a blog discussing the importance of full nodes and why everyone should run one. Excellent quote from Satoshi in there too!

Let us know what you think!

Thank you, that's the goal! We feel simplicity and ease of use is the best way to attract all levels of crypto users and provides an entry point for those looking to get in.

We would like to introduce one of the smallest full nodes around - nimbleNODE.

Many people throughout the world are unable to participate in running a full node due to a lack of knowledge or resources. Furthermore, the space needed to run a full node is more than often 200GB+ and the syncing process itself can take months, ultimately costing the user time, money, and sanity.

nimbleNODEs are the most portable, affordable, and customizable way to run a full node from anywhere in the world. nimbleNODEs are lightweight, wi-fi and bluetooth-equipped devices that are not much bigger than a dime. This device provides an entry point into crypto without requiring any coding experience.

As nimbleNODEs are full nodes, these devices are also amongst the most secure hardware wallets in the entire world; you’re the only one who can ever access the device. Whether you need an alternative for cold storage or an option to send/receive crypto securely, nimbleNODE has got you covered!

The first release will include support for 7 different cryptocurrencies (listed below). We will be adding many more coins based on feedback and demand, and plan to support every single major blockchain.

While nimbleNODE makes use of commodity hardware like the Pi and Arduino, we will be working on our own customized chips soon, that will support a wide range of node use-cases.
