Title: Running a full Vertcoin (or any other altcoin) Node Post by: erltoichi on December 01, 2017, 12:54:51 PM Since some of the Altcoins are looking for people or organisations willing to run a full coin node I thought I give it a try and put one up for Vertcoin (VTC).
A full node is a computer running the coin daemon and is accesible from the Internet and can be reached by other nodes. Having many nodes means that transactions and blocks can be processes faster by the network. It's quite straightforward to set the node up - I am not going to describe the process here, as there are many descriptions on the Internet already - so one node is now running at IP 95.143.57.78. The next step would be to make some statistics about the node and the Vertcoin blockchain available at vtcnode.ofehr.com - but I am unsure as how to do that. Anyone having experience with that (for Vertcoin or any other Altcoin) and can recommend some software, or do I have to write that from scratch?
