Calling us a \"node in a box\" implies a complete misunderstanding as to what we do.\n\n1. 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.\n\n2. 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.\n\n3. We provide world class customer support for StartOS, our hardware, and 25+ software applications.\n\n4. We love Bitcoin and express our opinions about it."}
