|

<h2>Is it easy to use?<a class="headerlink" href="#is-it-easy-to-use" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Yes! The Embassy is designed to be plugged into power and internet, and after a short setup, is immediately ready to use. Getting Services is as easy as getting apps for a smartphone.
|
||
As with anything new, you should expect to spend a little time learning the functions and features, and keep in mind that some Services may be more complex to understand and use than others.</p>

<p>Yes, but there is currently no way to synchronize or federate them. We are working on ways to make this possible in the future.</p>

<p>If you are in your home network it is both faster and more private since the connection never leaves your household. The downside is that it won’t work if you’re on the go.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, no. The Tor Browser requires all web visits to first enter the Tor network. Once you have entered the Tor network there is no way to exit the Tor network in such a way that .local/mDNS addresses resolve.</p>

<p>EmbassyOS is published under our own Start9 Non-Commercial License, which has similar properties to many open source licenses with the exception that users cannot in any way, either through products or services, commercialize the source code, and any changes to the code or derivative works of the code are treated in the same manner. This means people will be welcome to access the source code, download it, use it, run it, fork it, change it, improve it - whatever they want - except sell it or sell services related to it.</p>

|
||
<p>Absolutely. An Embassy would be a great addition to any business as it is easy to use and provides services that you control, with no subscription fees.</p>
|
||
<p>With the addition of <a class="reference external" href="https://btcpayserver.org/">BTCPay Server</a>, you can even run your own payment processor and accept cryptocurrency payments with no third party necessary!</p>

<h2>Can I have multiple users on my Embassy?<a class="headerlink" href="#can-i-have-multiple-users-on-my-embassy" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Currently, the Embassy itself is designed to for a single user. There is no way to grant others access to your Embassy without sharing your personal, master password, which is not recommended. There are certain services, however, such as Bitwarden, File Browser, and Mastodon, that absolutely support multiple users (aka multi-tenancy, aka uncle Jim model) where people who trust you can create their own, personal accounts for these services on your Embassy. Just remind them that they are trusting you with their data, and that it might be preferable for them to take the final leap of self-sovereignty and get an Embassy of their own.</p>

|

<p>Unfortunately, Orbot can be finicky. The best solution to Android issues is normally to restart Orbot, or to reboot the phone. This will solve most common problems.</p>

|
||
<p>In the top right menu, select ‘Clear Cache.’ If this does not solve the problem, delete the bookmarked site entirely, then re-add it. This will solve most connection issues.</p>

<div class="section" id="if-i-uninstall-a-service-then-re-install-it-does-any-data-remain">

<h2>If I uninstall a service, then re-install it, does any data remain?<a class="headerlink" href="#if-i-uninstall-a-service-then-re-install-it-does-any-data-remain" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>No. When uninstalling a service, you completely destroy everything associated with it. This is because each service runs in it’s own ‘container’, which includes all the required software and operating system environment that it needs to function. When uninstalling, this container is wiped from your Embassy’s system, and with it, any associated service data that you have not backed up.</p>
|
||
<p>This can be useful, as you may want to wipe a service and start anew. For example, you might want to receive a fresh Tor .onion address, or to spin up a new Lightning node. However, if you do this, YOU MUST BE 100% CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE PREPARED TO LOSE ALL DATA for this service. Also, keep in mind that other services may depend on the service you are uninstalling.</p>

<p>Warning: <strong>DO NOT do this if you are running LND or c-lightning</strong>. If you clone the SD card, then go back to running LND or c-lightning, and you <em>ever</em> try to restore the SD card, there is a good chance you will lose <em>all your channel funds</em>. Also, if you try to use the SD card for a 2nd Embassy, that will also result in loss of funds. This has nothing to do with Start9 or the Embassy; it is inherent to the architecture of Lightning.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are not running LND or c-lightning, then <em>yes</em>, it is possible to do a deep clone of the SD card as a backup. But even here, there are some considerations: Start9 does not test/support this officially, which means it is untested. Also, it may take a while to do a deep clone of the card since the ones we ship are 128GB and there isn’t a really effective way to clone the Embassy card that isn’t a byte-for-byte copy. However, if you do a byte for byte copy (128GB), and run <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink">PiShrink</a> you could flash that image file onto a new card and restore all of your data.</p>

<h2>Why would I even buy this when I can just build it for free??<a class="headerlink" href="#why-would-i-even-buy-this-when-i-can-just-build-it-for-free" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<ol class="arabic simple">
|
||
<li><p>White glove support. Because each Embassy comes with a unique product key engraved on it, and we have a record of all product keys ever, we can ask the user to verify their product key in order to receive a higher tier of support, such as phone calls.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Supporting the project. Buying an Embassy from Start9 is your way of supporting the development of the project. And it’s not just out of gratitude, but rather, a recognition that if the project isn’t funded, the cool software stops coming.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Convenience. This is the big one. It’s true, some people will choose to use the software without buying an Embassy, but most will not. Very few people on Earth are comfortable using the command line, compiling code, and configuring an OS. Furthermore, hardware is necessary. Sure, some people already have a Raspberry Pi, and others may try to re-purpose an old laptop, but many people would be choosing between buying the Embassy hardware components themselves and assembling vs buying pre-assembled at a reasonable markup. And it’s not just a pi, the Ambassador utilizes audio feedback, so a speaker is necessary too. Finally, due to the product key aspect, we can gate certain features of our hosted Service Marketplace. As in, if you buy an Embassy from us, certain services may be free, whereas they may be charged if you don’t buy from us. Nothing stops a user from getting the service themselves from elsewhere, but again, convenience.</p></li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>Bottom line…We are charging a very marginal rate for something incredibly powerful, and we think the convenience of a plug-and-play device, free service marketplace, and free white glove support is where the money is. Anyone could build their own couches too, but here is a reason furniture stores exist. How much is your time worth?</p>

<p>The fastest way to get support is via our <a class="reference external" href="https://t.me/start9_labs">Telegram</a> or <a class="reference external" href="https://matrix.to/#/!lMnRwPWnyQvOfAoEnD:matrix.start9labs.com">Matrix</a> channels.
