Title: Host a bitcoin core Post by: wizardofwhere on February 14, 2015, 01:53:04 PM I have been reading about bitcoin for quite a bit and see there is a need for people to host a masternode or core. Since I bought btc I figure I could possible run one of these nodes to support a system I'm a part of now. The problem is I am not a programmer so I would need something reasonably simple. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction so I can do my part to facilitate the growth of this coin. One other thing. If I host this node are the coins I own at risk of being stolen for some reason? Thanks and I look forward to helping

Basically (looking at the answers) , all you need to do is run your Bitcoin Core (Blockchain file should be downloaded and wallet Synchroznied with the network) and open port 8333 TCP , and that's it . and no , there is no risk for your Coins to be stolen as far as I know ~ Madness Title: Re: Host a bitcoin core Post by: Amph on February 14, 2015, 01:58:13 PM just don't set any config, with rpc setting, and run you client as usual(btc core)

Blockchain file is about 31GB as far as I know , and it's not a small size as before (the second link you posted says he bought Cloud server with 20 GB ) which is not enough if he wants to run one now . So basically you should consider buying something with 40GB + ~ Madness Title: Re: Host a bitcoin core Post by: redsn0w on February 14, 2015, 02:44:50 PM Check also this post on reddit : - http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1se3zd/how_to_create_a_full_bitcoin_node_in_a_5_ubuntu/ and this thread here in the forum: - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332679.msg3568348#msg3568348 it will be helpful for you, if you want to try use a vps ( 20-40 GB of hardisk minimum , because the blockchain is "large").

However I told 20-40 gb (see the bold part) but you are right the bitcoin blockchain is more than 30 Gb (at the moment).

You will not waste your HDD space, if you set up a bitcoin node you will help alot the bitcoin network (the late of decentralization).

Title: Re: Host a bitcoin core Post by: wizardofwhere on February 22, 2015, 12:32:36 AM Well, I've downloaded the bitcoin client, updated it and now it's running. But, when I select Help-debug-Peers, I see 7 outgoing and 1 incoming clients. And, when I check my client using this address https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/ I see the following message: 172.12.117.167:8333 is unreachable
I see this even when all firewalls are turned off If someone has suggestions I'm listening Title: Re: Host a bitcoin core Post by: najzenmajsen on February 22, 2015, 12:35:58 AM Check also this post on reddit : this is exactly why i am using lightweight wallet electrum. because i dont want 30 GB of my precious hard drive go to waste!- http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1se3zd/how_to_create_a_full_bitcoin_node_in_a_5_ubuntu/ and this thread here in the forum: - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332679.msg3568348#msg3568348 it will be helpful for you, if you want to try use a vps ( 20-40 GB of hardisk minimum , because the blockchain is "large").

Title: Re: Host a bitcoin core Post by: wizardofwhere on February 22, 2015, 01:03:34 AM Ok I'm not a tech guy and I've figured this out by trial and error and a bit of research. My machine has plenty of resources to run the core - 1tb HD 16g ram. I'm just concerned that after loading this core (it's running), I'm not helping, as there are only 7 outgoing connections and 1 incoming.
And, I've taken the step to use a resource that can apparently recognize if my machine is reachable which it turns out it's not. This, despite the information I've provided regarding outgoing/incoming connections on my client. I"m confused. Am I helping or accomplishing nothing.
