B Why grade B?

Solid pick. Verified working but with a meaningful caveat (UX rough, smaller market, intermediate trust step, partial coverage). Listed because the trade-off is sometimes worth it.

Curator Verdict & OpSec Breakdown

THE BOTTOM LINE

anstee.dev is a verified, functional remote node that performs solidly for day-to-day use, provided readers account for its specific operational trade-offs.

✓

Proven Strengths

▸ Anonymous account model: no real-name, phone, or government ID required to transact.
▸ Non-custodial architecture: user retains full custody of private keys throughout execution.
▸ Established operational track record: serving users continuously since 2020 (6 years).

⚠

OpSec Trade-offs & Caveats

▸ Clearnet-only footprint: lacks an official .onion hidden service mirror; exposes visitor network IP unless routed through VPN/Tor.

Review

Personal-operator node by anstee.dev. HTTPS-only — good for clients that refuse plain HTTP. Mainnet, no restricted-RPC flag advertised (assume open).
