Dazbox is a ready-to-use Lightning Network node that allows you to participate in the Bitcoin network without technical expertise. It enables you to receive and send bitcoin payments quickly and at low cost, manage your Lightning channels easily, and access your node from any internet-connected device.

Installing Dazbox is ultra simple: plug in the power supply, connect the Ethernet cable to your internet box, and wait for the LEDs to light up. Then follow the initial configuration guide by connecting to the web interface via the address displayed on your Dazbox screen. Complete installation takes about 5 minutes.

To open your first channel, access the Dazbox management interface, go to the 'Lightning' section, then 'Channels'. Click 'Open channel', enter the address of the node you want to connect with, set the amount to allocate to the channel, and confirm. Daznode can automatically suggest reliable nodes for your first channels.

To receive a payment, access the Lightning interface, click 'Receive', then set the desired amount. A QR code and Lightning address will be generated. Share them with the person who needs to pay you. Important: you must have sufficient inbound capacity in your channels to receive payments.

Umbrel is the operating system that powers your Dazbox. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing your Bitcoin and Lightning node, as well as an app store for easily installing additional services. Dazbox uses Umbrel in the background, but with custom optimizations and integration of Dazia, our AI assistant.

Thanks to Umbrel, you can install many applications: BTCPay Server for merchant payments, Ride The Lightning or Thunderhub for advanced Lightning management, Mempool for visualizing Bitcoin transactions, or even applications like NextCloud for file storage, and many others. All are accessible from the integrated app store.

To secure your node: use a strong password, keep your recovery phrase (seed) in a safe offline location, enable two-factor authentication, regularly backup your channels, and keep your Dazbox up to date. Remember that the security of your bitcoins depends on these precautions.

To optimize your channels: diversify your connections with well-connected nodes, balance inbound and outbound capacity, adjust your fees based on network activity, and use the Dazia feature that automatically analyzes the network and suggests optimizations for your node. Revenue depends on the quality of your channels and the volume of transactions they process.

Dazbox updates are done automatically or manually from the web interface. Go to 'Settings', then 'Updates' to check if a new version is available. It is recommended to back up your data before any major update. Daznode sends email notifications for critical updates.

To connect your Dazbox to the mobile app, open the Daznode app on your smartphone, go to 'Add node', then scan the QR code available in your Dazbox web interface (Settings > Remote access section). You'll be able to manage your node and payments on the go.

To install new applications, connect to your Dazbox web interface, go to the 'App Store' section, browse available applications or use the search, then click 'Install' for the desired application. Installation is automatic and the application will be available in your dashboard once completed.

In case of problems: first consult the online documentation at docs.dazno.de, check that your Dazbox is properly connected to the Internet and correctly powered, restart it if necessary. If the problem persists, contact support via the application or at support@dazno.de, specifying your device's serial number and the nature of the problem encountered.
