Title: Full Node questions. Post by: codrvar on February 13, 2017, 06:50:01 AM I have been looking at running a Full Node for Bitcoin, Primarily because I have the HD Space, Bandwidth and my PC is on 24x7.
Am I able to use my Full Node as a wallet at the same time or is this use not advised? Is there any payment through transactions for running a Full Node? Title: Re: Full Node questions.

Your node will not "process" transactions in the sense of confirmations, if thats what you are thinking of. Title: Re: Full Node questions.

That is what I was thinking, After a thorough read on the bitcoin.org website I understand more about nodes, transactions and confirmations. Thank You for the clarity. |
