I only run full-nodes when i use my computer since computer isn't designed to run 24/7
If this is true, it depends on the computer, it is not convenient to be there 24/7, at least you need a box that is well ventilated to maintain a correct temperature.It's true, especially if you use cheap or old parts. I'll measure my ventilation, temperature and avg. watt usage later. When someone asks me what Bitcoin is, I try to explain what it is and take the opportunity to tell him to read a bit about Bitcoin, one of the books that is pretty well explained is Mastering Bitcoin Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies.  yup, got that book on my end table. a must read for anyone who wants to understand (or at least understand better) btc rather than just use it. Make sure you read 2nd edition as it contains newer technology (such as SegWit) and fix few wrong information. Also, it's free (and legal, obviously) at https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook. So people don't have excuse anymore. Nodes online:  BTCitcoin Core / 9468 and actual full nodes number is higher as most full nodes client don't enable port-forwarding, even though there's no accurate way to measure it's number Thanks for the 2nd edition book, Antonopoulus. Ventilation is essential for the indoor temperature, a good fan will improve sure. Yes, I know, I'm going to add information about the number of visible nodes with more than 8 active connections and those who are only active as clients. |

Algunas de las dudas que tienen los que están interesados en comprar o invertir en Bitcoin suelen ser como estas: "Quiero empezar a comprar un poco de Bitcoin, pero no se muy bien como hacerlo, quiero decir que no se muy bien como invertir, no dispongo de mucho dinero."
"La gente me dice que no compre Bitcoin porque se va a ir a 0"
"Lo que no me gusta es la manipulación que veo en las cotizaciones"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- El primer paso es tener muy claro que es una inversión de muy alto riesgo sea la que sea la cantidad que vas a invertir. BTCitcoinGenesis Block - Primer Bloque 03/Enero/2009 Simbolo - BTCTicker - BTC Total de Monedas - 21.000.000 BTC Monedas en Circulación - 17.409.362 BTC Monedas Perdidas +/- 4.000.000 BTC Una forma de empezar a comprar Bitcoin es hacerlo con una cantidad que no te suponga un problema destinarla a una inversión, en este caso Bitcoin, para comprar Bitcoin tendrás que hacerlo en un intercambio, te nombro tres de los mas utilizados, Coinbase, Bitstamp o Kraken, tendrás que registrarte y esperar a que te verifiquen la cuenta, entonces podrás enviar dinero con una trasferencia y comprar la cantidad que tengas prevista. * Si no tienes tiempo de vigilar la cotización y tu inversión es a largo plazo, eliges el día del mes en el que vas a invertir y cada mes compras la misma cantidad, esto tiene el lado bueno y el lado no tan bueno, habrá meses en que compraras a buen precio y meses que compraras mas caro, pero normalmente en un periodo de 12 meses la media te saldrá bastante correcta. * Si eres de los que vigilan el precio, puedes estudiar las tendencias y comprar cuando este el precio mas a tu favor, en Bitcoin es un poco difícil debido a sus constantes oscilaciones, pero también es valida y tendrás que preocuparte mas en el seguimiento del precio. * También depende de tu situación económica puedes comprar una parte, medio Bitcoin o un Bitcoin entero e ir consultando los precios para estar informado. Es muy repetitivo, pero hay un dicho que dice así: "Invierte lo que puedas permitirte perder", que quiere decir esto, que hay que invertir una cantidad de dinero que si la pierdes no arruine tu economía, que puedas dormir tranquilo por las noches sin estar pensado en la inversión. Os recomiendo a los que estais interesados en Bitcoin también dediqueis un poco de vuestro tiempo a conocer como y quien lo creo (Satoshi Nakamoto) si leeis sobre los Fundamentales de Bitcoin, su libro blanco ( White Paper) y algún libro como por ejemplo este Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas M. Antonopoulos a buen seguro vuestro interés aumentara. Libro Blanco (White Paper) es el documento oficial que te informa sobre la tecnología, metodología, para la cual fue creado el producto, es interesante leerlo para saber hacia donde tiene que ir Bitcoin, os dejo el enlace abajo esta en Español. * White Paper https://bitcoin.org/files/bitcoin-paper/bitcoin_es.pdfDe cualquier moneda en la cual esteis interesados es muy importante leer su White Paper. Por ultimo, unos máximos de cada año (ATH / All Time High) de Bitcoin desde que se creo, para que veais las fluctuaciones que ha tenido, iré actualizando los máximos y mínimos de cada año. BTCitcoin Year / ATH / 2009 / 0,0 $ 07/2010 0,08 $07/2011 31,00 $12/2012 13,00 $ Mínimo 2012 4 $ 11/2013 1.242,00 $ Mínimo 2013 66 $ 01/2014 1.000,00 $ Mínimo 2014 201 $ 11/2015 504,00 $ Mínimo 2015 184 $ 11/2016 780,00 $ Mínimo 2016 362 $ 12/2017 17.900,00 $ Mínimo 2017 780 $ 2018 Aquí encontraras información de como puedes guardar tu Bitcoin, hay monederos (Wallets) de software, papel (Paper Wallet) y de Hardware o puedes tenerlo en el intercambio, pero si no eres de los que comercias siempre es mejor enviarlos a tu monedero, de esta forma tus claves privadas las tienes tu.

Also, did anyone notice Gentlemand is a weirdo? Not JayJuanGee level weirdo, but more like creepy, Dennis Rader style weirdo.
That's his gimmick. ..or could be the booze. I'm high on life, baby. I haven't had any boozes in many, many years. And there's nothing creepy about me. I'm as wholesome as Karen Carpenter (pre laxatives) baking Mom's Apple Pie on Christmas morning surrounded by singing elves. Ok sir  , I'm sorry I did not interpret your sense of humor. it's possibly a mistake my newbie of WO. |

I do not understand anything, I just made a real comment about my wife, she made me laugh and I published it. Then I got these pretty negative comments towards me. > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg48542439#msg48542439I think it's better to leave the WO. I thank the rest of the members for the answers and their support of these days with all my questions. Greetings to all. You just hit one bad poster. Other members attacked him, not you. Most internet forums have a bit of rough and tumble. It's worth coming back to WO when you have been around the block on some other threads. No problem this I already knew |

I have returned from dinner and the party starts again.
I lack time to follow the pages of WO, very, very, fast
My wife is worried, she says I've been very strange for four days.
(4 / december first time in WO, lol)
nobody fucking cares , did we ask for your life story who's "we" asshole Mmmm nobody asks me neither ..... but gonna tell it anyway dumbf*** * headache* ....... late morning...... going for sober man’s breakfast, @goldkingcoiner, yeah outdoors, to f***ed up to put something together myself Gonna glimps to the price now, ah ok = weeeEeEEEe I do not understand anything, I just made a real comment about my wife, she made me laugh and I published it.

I thank the rest of the members for the answers and their support of these days with all my questions. Greetings to all. I can't see any negativity in there.. there was one but it was from a n00baccount and it's been deleted. Just some comments with witty WO humour, nothing wrong in that. You really shouldn't give up so easy, this is the internet after all, things cannot be taken too seriously. A good sense of humour starts with the ability the laugh at yourself. PS! Mic´s and jojo´s comments weren't aimed towards you, but the noob. (PS! Mic´s and jojo´s comments weren't aimed towards you, but the noob.) > This I have understood, there is no problem, the noob is ignored. Maybe you're right, my level of English does not help me much in the correct intentionality. It may be that my approach is wrong in this small debate... I have to learn more English, but the Bitcoin graphics do not let me. Regards. |

Bitstamp (twitter) they have published this photo recommending installing a Full Node to improve the network.  We are not alone. |

It's a shame not to have been here at the beginning of Bitcoin, you are part of something very special.
it 1st showed up on my radar mid 2011 when a few computer tech sites started posting about it. i happened to have hardware that met the gpu requirements, so figured why not? i had no idea it would take off as it has, figured it was just a neat experiment on digital money. although in retrospect i should have. When someone asks me what Bitcoin is, I try to explain what it is and take the opportunity to tell him to read a bit about Bitcoin, one of the books that is pretty well explained is Mastering Bitcoin Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies. yup, got that book on my end table. a must read for anyone who wants to understand (or at least understand better) btc rather than just use it. You are giving me a lot of envy, healthy, but envy. Receiving the first Bitcoins mined at home had to be fantastic. It was a good experiment and save the Bitcoins until today is the best reward. Congratulations. Regarding the book, yes, you would have to force it to buy it before having Bitcoin, another one that I recommend is Satoshi Nakamoto White Paper https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdfThe book and the White Paper are required reading. |

Nice Thread. I've had a full node in the past, and will again soon. I'm setting up a bitcoin and lightning node on a Raspberry Pi as we speak. I'm going with the raspiblitz setup, it's pretty sweet and very simple. link for anyone who is interested https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz Good news, I hope when you have it online, tell us your experience, I visited the link, the tutorial has a lot of information for the configuration. Regards. |

Bitstamp recommends using full nodes, well, this is good.  https://twitter.com/Bitstamp?lang=en-------------------------------- Now I can not update my thread in Bitcoin Discussion on Full Nodes but later I will write a post about it. I do not intend to spam, I would like the Wall Observer regulars to know my Full Nodes thread, feel free to comment, your opinion is of interest to me. How Many Full Nodes Bitcoin Online ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5080565.0 |

Sure, it will not be the cheapest, today seen on Twitter SatoshiLabs launches a Trezor Special Edition Metallic, only 300 pieces, December 12, 12:12 CET.  https://twitter.com/trezor?lang=en(If you do not want to spend money, the best thing is a paper wallet.) |

You have a Full Node 24/7 , tell your experience ?
I only run full-nodes when i use my computer since computer isn't designed to run 24/7 If this is true, it depends on the computer, it is not convenient to be there 24/7, at least you need a box that is well ventilated to maintain a correct temperature.
Do you have any suggestions for Bitcoin Core Node and Wallet in the new updates ?
Better linux support such as release .appimage, .rpm or .deb since install from .tar.gz is inconvenient and not all linux distro support 3rd-party repository by default Good point I will add to the requests.
What do not you like about Bitcore Node ?
Minimal UI and could run on low-end/barebone-pc, few people even manged to run Core and LND on Raspberry Pi 3 which is amazing IMO If I think the same thing, the interface is a bit poor and they have to design it to adapt it and install it with any device, if they do not, it is difficult to move forward.Now a sensitive issue, you think that the Bitcoin network would have to reward in some way the complete nodes 24/7?
No, especially it could weaken Bitcoin security/decentralization If after reading this thread you feel curious to mount a node you can do it for little money.
The simplest thing is to use your computer and install it.
You can buy a hard drive and store the largest part of the node on the hard drive.
This will be to invest a small amount of $ and apart from installing the node we will gain storage space for other files.
If you have a NAS you can run it 24/7 full time.
Yes, you can run full nodes with low money, but that doesn't apply to some developing/3rd-world country. Higher electronic taxes, weak USD/country's fiat exchange rate and high inflation make electronic/electronic component expensive. Additionally, running computer/server 24/7 (on long term) cost more money than buy an HDD due to electricity price. You're right, here I made a mistake, there are many parts in the world that unfortunately can not afford something like this, for low wages, very high electricity costs, instability in the electricity grid or for political reasons.
Thanks for commenting.I answer by quoting in green, very instructive your answers. Regards. |

my node is a "part time" full node, and lives on my daily driver desktop. no pruning i want the entire blockchain so i can validate it myself, even off line, right to the genesis block if need be. its only 206 gb, well within even old home computer specs. i just point it to its own dedicated ssd.
[...]
keeping blocks and bandwidth requirements small(ish) to the point where basically anyone, with almost any computer from the last 10 years or so, can run a full on node with mainstream (or below to a point) internet is a main strength of btc imo.
everyone who uses btc should be able validate the blockchain themselves if they want, which would need a full node with a full copy of the blockchain. else why trust it?
Very interesting message, a conventional PC running a full node online with a 1.5 Mbs Internet connection, perfect, this is the goal. i should clarify that running a full or part time node on your daily driver isnt the ideal way to do so, but as ive shown it can certainly be done. dedicated hardware is better, an off the shelf system from the last decade should be able to handle it. even some netbooks from a while ago should have the chops and those are dirt cheap. 320 gig drive, atom cpu, ubuntu or other flavor of linux.. poof, btc node. reason mine is still on a daily driver is im lazy, and because back in 2011, when i first installed the btc wallet and started mining, it was to my desktop at that time. this same wallet/node has just been moved to the replacement daily drivers when i build new ones. i was in it more for the tech then, the "magic interetz money" bit was a fun meme that possibly might help pay for my gaming videocards, but hardly one i took seriously until i had leaned a lot more about how banks and fiat worked. once i understood the whitepaper and its implications.. well thats when the tech took a second seat to the real meaning of btc.. which is be your own bank. as for keeping btc on a node on a daily driver desktop.. well mine has pocket change. how your main stack of btc should be secured really depends on your comfort and knowledge level of hardware, software, security. if its an amount that you cant risk, paper wallets, hardware wallets, air gapped computer wallets.. all these and more are options, and i would use a combination of them. Today with the popularity of Bitcoin, new users do not bother to know what Bitcoin really is, they are only interested in earning fast money. It's a shame not to have been here at the beginning of Bitcoin, you are part of something very special. When someone asks me what Bitcoin is, I try to explain what it is and take the opportunity to tell him to read a bit about Bitcoin, one of the books that is pretty well explained is Mastering Bitcoin Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies. If everyone who comes to Bitcoin understood their technology, we would have more nodes working. Thank you  |
