Why is running a full bitcoin node important? Full nodes help enforce the consensus rules of the Bitcoin network. When a full node client is running, it downloads every new block and every new transaction and checks them to make sure they are valid. Here are some examples of consensus rules, though there are many more:
Read more about what a full node is, the consensus rules above and other incentives for supporting the network in the Bitcoin Wiki. (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Full_node) Minimum Requirements Bitcoin Core full nodes have certain requirements.

Acknowledgments Special thanks goes to David Harding (https://github.com/harding) who created the majority of the content comprising the original instructions on Bitcoin.org for running a full node as of version 0.10.0. A great thank you goes to the other contributors (in no preferential order) who have worked to improve this page over time as well:
*** About Bitcoin.org Bitcoin.org was originally used by Satoshi Nakamoto to host his Bitcoin paper. Soon after, it began linking to downloadable versions of the original Bitcoin software, making it the homepage for the Bitcoin program. New educational content about Bitcoin was added to Bitcoin.org over time, but that home page remained even when the name of the original program was changed to Bitcoin Core. In the years since, the amount of content on Bitcoin.org has continued to increase. There’s more content about Bitcoin Core than ever before and also more content about other Bitcoin software and resources. Interested in getting involved?
