Mississauga+Oakville Bitcoin meetup

​Join us for the monthly Mississauga/Oakville Bitcoin meetup, hosted by Adam.

​BITCOIN LEARNING LAB: How to make your own bitcoin node using an old laptop and a flash drive.

​Adam will be doing an interactive demonstration hands-on lab on how you can turn an old laptop that you have laying around your house into a bitcoin node and use it in a sovereign way.

​Adam will bring:

• ​6 Usable Laptops

• ​6 Flash Drives

• ​1 Fully Synced Node

​All 6 of the laptops will be a Windows installation with the necessary software to learn how to put the StartOS installation on a USB drive. You will turn that computer into a bitcoin node.

​If you don't get a laptop for this lab, you can share with another person or follow along with the presentation which will show you everything that the laptops will be doing.

​What we will accomplish:

• ​Install the software required to make the USB Installation media.

• ​Flash a USB drive with StartOS 0.4.0's installation media.

• ​Use the USB drive to install StartOS onto the laptop.

• ​Connect the laptop to the internet (via Wifi on my mobile hotspot).

• ​Install the bitcoin node software and other tools to learn how to install and configure the applications on StartOS. (We will not sync the node).

​We will then use the 1 fully synchronised node to showcase how to configure your phone's wallet to your bitcoin node to preserve privacy (using Tor).
