2. You won't need to depend on pre-compiled Bitcoin Core binaries. This requires less trust. Even though the maintainers of Bitcoin Core do a great job of maintaining the integrity of the code, a pre-compiled binary is a few steps removed from source code. When you compile from the source code, the code can be inspected before compilation. 2. You won't need to depend on pre-compiled Bitcoin Core binaries. This requires less trust.

By compiling Bitcoin from source, you've increased the trustlessness of your setup. However, you're far short of all the additional security provided by a Bitcoin Standup setup. To resolve this, you may want to walk through the entire [Linode Stackscript](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Bitcoin-Standup-Scripts/blob/master/Scripts/LinodeStandUp.sh) and step-by-step run all the commands. The only place you need to be careful is in Step 6, which installs Bitcoin. Skip just past where you've verified your binaries, and continue from there.
