There seems to be some confusion as to what Start9 is/does. Calling us a "node in a box" implies a complete misunderstanding as to what we do.
1. We build StartOS, a free and open source Linux distro optimized for self-hosting. You can download it for free and flash it to most computers. There is zero loss of functionality doing it this way.
2. We sell and warranty quality hardware at a competitive price with StartOS preinstalled as a means if funding development, rather than rely on charity like most open source projects.
3. We provide world class customer support for StartOS, our hardware, and 25+ software applications.
4. We love Bitcoin and express our opinions about it.
