Title: building cryptocurrency nodes
Post by: cryptoproject on March 19, 2017, 04:06:52 PM
hi,

For a bitcoin project, i am looking to build a secure bitcoin node.
i would like to know the best server for this. as i am expecting large number of users will use it.

i might host more cryptocurrency nodes in future eg. Ethereum or litecoin.

so i need 1 server for each node or i can host all in one Dedicated server?


please explain well

A node is just a software. You can run many nodes on one machine, so long as it is powerful enough to support multiple nodes.

To run a node, just download and run Bitcoin Core. There is nothing you need to do to secure it as a node does not have anything that requires securing. If you just want to run only a node, you can disable the wallet.

i actually want to built a wallet system for my users based on a secure node. a lot of transactions will come in and out within our own server and outer bitcoin servers.

Well running a full node and receiving/sending transactions with it shouldn't be a problem running the latest version of Bitcoin Core.  I'm not sure what you mean here or about any advanced systems you might be talking about.  Can you elaborate?
