Ruben Waterman – founder of Bittr
Managing a highly available bitcoin lightning node for bittr turned out to be harder than I thought. As I didn’t want to host my node with a big tech provider, the nodl cloud offering was a perfect alternative. Customer service is top notch and I’ve never had any downtime on my node since hosting it with nodl. I would definitely recommend nodl to any other business that wants to escape from big tech!

Coinsure – nomadic lifestyle maximalist
Using bitcoin in a sovereign and private manner when living out of a suitcase can be a real pain in the ass. Nodl cloud is a lifesaver for someone conducting their day-to-day financial transactions in bitcoin who can’t guarantee they can reach a full node when they may most need it.
Dr. Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard
I believe it is really important to run a node, and for that, I highly recommend nodl.
JC Belair – proof of 2019
Customer from mid 2019. At first used the nodl to understand lighting and give it a try. Opened channels, figured out what liquidity was, sent some payments… All a pain but definitely having the hands-on experience made the whole difference, especially so early since most tools available today were not even an idea. That experience made me understand enough the LN ecosystem and eventually led me to win deals for my business. Today it sits in an undisclosed location, but at hand, I use it for whirlpool/dojo, to connect HW wallets and of course for lightning payments. I like that it never stops working, that you don’t have clutter running next to your stash, Hardware is top notch and upgrades are offered when needed. Would definitely recommend for your hard-earned sats.

Quick installation

nodl installation is super easy. All you need is a power outlet and a free ethernet port on your internet router. We deliver all the rest.

Step 1

Connect your new nodl device to the ethernet port of your router. Then connect the nodl to power using the provided power adaptor. Your nodl is now running.

Step 2

Access your nodl through the nodl user interface. Just point any computer or phone on your network to the address that is provided in the user guide your nodl device comes with. That address is specific to your device. You will be prompted to change your password.

Step 3

Use your nodl. You are now on your nodl’s homescreen, where all the applications and settings can be accessed from the graphical user interface. We recommend you go take a look at the nodl documentation if you want to make the best of all the functionalities it packs.

Step 4

Once you have TOR setup, you will be able to connect to the nodl you have running in your home or office from anywhere in the world, through TOR.
