+# Bitcoin Standup Scripts - Blockchain Commons
+
+Contributor: jodobear 20-07-03
+
+**DISCLAIMER:** It is not a good idea to store large amounts of Bitcoin on a VPS, ideally you should use this as a watch-only wallet. This script is a work-in-progress and has not been widely tested. The creators are not responsible for loss of funds. If you are not familiar with running a node or how Bitcoin works then we urge you to use this in testnet so that you can use it as a learning tool.
+
+
+## Usage
+
+The script is inteded for a fresh bitcoin setup. Re-running the script on an already setup server is intended only for advanced users.
+
+It downloads Bitcoin Core over Tor. You can specify any path for the blockchain data and Electrs data.
+
+To run this script you need to be logged in as root, and enter in the commands listed below:
+
+(The $ or # represents a terminal commmand prompt, do not actually type in a $ or #.)
+
+1. Give the root user a password, enter the following command and set a password:
+$ sudo passwd
+
+2. Switch to the root user:
+$ sudo su
+
+3. Edit config for your node setup using your favourite text editor:
+# nano ss.conf
+
+4. Source the script:
+# source ss_00_main.sh
+
+5. Display help:
+# source ss_00_main.sh -h
+
+This script can be installed on any Debian based system. By default this script will:
+
+- Update the OS
+- Set Automatic Updates On
+- Create User: standup
+- Install UFW, haveguard, gnupg2, git & make
+- Install Tor
+- Install Bitcoin Core on mainnet with txindex=1 if setting up unpruned node.
+- Setup Bitcoin Core as systemd service and to start at reboot or after a crash.
+- Start Bitcoin Core
+
+Optionally you can install:
+---------------------------
+- Install c-lightning or LND
+- Install Esplora
+- Install BTCPay**
+
+** Work-in-progress
+
+QR Code:
+--------
+Upon completion of the script there will be a QR code saved to /qrcode.png which you can open and scan:
+
+1. Install fim:
+$ sudo apt-get install fim
+2. Then, display the QR code in terminal (as root):
+# fim -a qrcode.png
+
+It is highly recommended to add a Tor V3 pubkey for cookie authentication so that even if your QR code is compromised an attacker would not be able to access your node.
+
+It is recommended to delete the /qrcode.png.
+Additionally, unless you face installation issues and need to assisstance delete /standup.log, and /standup.err
+
+
+## TODO
+
+1. Conclude the Esplora `dist` [issue](https://github.com/Blockstream/esplora/issues/156)
+2. Find solution to BTCPay Server corrupting blockchain directory when creating a softlink.
+3. Check implementation & test FastSync.
+4. C-lightning HTTP plugin.
+5. Explore HWI.

+${bold}DISCLAIMER:${normal} It is not a good idea to store large amounts of Bitcoin on a VPS, ideally you should use this as a watch-only wallet. This script is a work-in-progress and has not been widely tested. The creators are not responsible for loss of funds. If you are not familiar with running a node or how Bitcoin works then we urge you to use this in testnet so that you can use it as a learning tool.
+
+
+--------------------------------------
+${bold}                Usage                 ${normal}
+--------------------------------------
+
+The script is inteded for a fresh bitcoin setup. Re-running the script on an already setup server is intended only for advanced users. In order to run this script ${bold}you need to be logged in as root${normal}, and enter in the commands listed below:
+
+(The $ or # represents a terminal commmand prompt, do not actually type in a $ or #.)
+
+1. Give the root user a password, enter the following command and set a password:
+$ ${bold}sudo passwd${normal}
+
+2. Switch to the root user:
+$ ${bold}sudo su${normal}
+
+3. Edit config for your node setup using your favourite text editor:
+# ${bold}nano ss.conf${normal}
+
+4. Source the script:
+# ${bold}source ss_00_main.sh${normal}
+
+5. Display this help:
+# ${bold}source ss_00_main.sh -h${normal}
+
+This script can be installed on any Debian based system. By default this script will:
+
+- Update the OS
+- Set Automatic Updates On
+- Create User: standup
+- Install UFW, haveguard, gnupg2, git & make
+- Install Tor
+- Install Bitcoin Core on mainnet with txindex=1 if setting up unpruned node.
+- Setup Bitcoin Core as systemd service and to start at reboot or after a crash.
+- Start Bitcoin Core
+
+Optionally you can install:
+---------------------------
+- Install c-lightning or LND
+- Install Esplora
+- Install BTCPay**
+
+
+** Work-in-progress
+
+QR Code:
+--------
+Upon completion of the script there will be a QR code saved to /qrcode.png which you can open and scan:
+
+1. Install fim:
+$ ${bold}sudo apt-get install fim${normal}
+2. Then, display the QR code in terminal (as root):
+# ${bold}fim -a qrcode.png${normal}
+
