[bitcoin-list] Running a full node

[Francis GASCHET]

Dear all,

I'm currently discovering the Bitcoin's universe.
I installedbitcoind on my PC and I'm currently testing different things
on testnet.
I just read an article saying that the risk for Bitcoin in the future is
the decreasing number of full nodes, with appropriate resources. There
are only few of them in France !

My company operates a dual homed Internet access and has some capacity
to host an HA server in a secured environment. So I'm thinking about
setting up a full node.
But I'd like to know what storage, RAM and bandwidth resources are
needed. I guess that the problem is not the CPU.

Thanks in advance for details.

I run a bitcoin node on a spare laptop at home without any problems along
with three other proof of stake coins. Your biggest expense is probably
bandwidth. I have Time Warner business class service. Make sure you allow
port 8333 through your firewall so other nodes can connect to you.

Storage: https://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size
Bandwidth usage:

I hope that helps.

Dear all,

+1 !

Thanks to those who sent me some details and links.

My node is up and running on 5.56.40.1:8333

Techno : Linux HA + dual homed Internet transit.
It should be stable as from now.

Best regards

You may also wish to consider linking your node into
the Tor, I2P, and maybe even CJDNS networks. Details
on their respective mailing lists.

Bitcoind|qt needs Dual-Stack support. ;-)

Cheers!
