Run your own Bitcoin + Lightning node on a Raspberry Pi 5 — and own your Lightning address and Nostr identity end to end.

Most "Lightning addresses" are custodial accounts wearing a costume. Your sats sit on someone else's node, your identity lives on someone else's domain, and one terms-of-service update can take both away.

This guide is the alternative — the exact production stack behind crypto2z.com, documented step by step:

Pi 5 + NVMe hardware build — including the power-management fix that stops your drive from vanishing mid-sync (the gotcha that eats most people's first weekend) MyNode + LND — sync, seed security, and the config paths that survive updates Channel strategy that actually works — quality peers, LN+ triangle swaps for free inbound liquidity, and building Amboss reputation Albyhub in Docker — connected to your own LND, with the host-networking fix everyone hits Cloudflare Tunnel — reach your hub from anywhere with zero open ports on your home network you@yourdomain.com — a Lightning address on a domain you control, no custodian in the loop NIP-05 verified Nostr identity — same identifier, same domain, zaps land on your own node Ops that protect your funds — Static Channel Backups, a 5-minute daily health check, update discipline

Who it's for: You're comfortable in a terminal and can SSH into a box. You don't need to be a developer — every command and config file is given in full.

Who it's not for: Anyone looking for a custodial shortcut. This is the sovereign path.
