Gold:

A total of 190,000 tons have been produced.
77% of global reserves.
The cost of extraction is increasing, it reminds you of something Cool

But the problem is not the physical gold goes the same way as the physical money, there are many funds, products, etf, s, contracts of gold, generating a lot of money that is only paper, this will be the problem, if all the people claim your gold.

Just as if all the money in the bank were claimed today, they DO NOT HAVE IT !!!

This is the value of Bitcoin, you have it and you are its owner.  Grin

The new requests of the participants will be published in a single thread that I will update.

I encourage you to publish your opinions, if we get enough we will look for the way to send them to the Bitcoin Core team.

If you like Bitcoin, put a Node in your life, Bitcoin was not born just to make money. Cool

An important detail that differentiates us, remember, we are all Bitcoin !!!

Greyscale Bitcoin Investment Trust, it now holds over 200,000 BTC for institutional investor clients. Considering the fact that there are 17.4 million BTC in circulation, this means that the company now has control of 1% of Bitcoin in circulation.

Not accounting for the millions(?) of lost coins

How many coins are lost +/-?

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.

but due to VERY slow internet (1.5 megabits/sec) i only run it every few days, or if im sending or expecting to receive something i need to verify at once. after all, MY node is the one i trust. when its running my internet is pretty much useless for anything else but basic browsing. thus the "as needed" thing.

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.
3892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many Full Nodes Bitcoin online ? on: December 05, 2018, 09:57:17 PM
It seems that the poll should include categories of people who might not currently have a full node, but consider decent chances that they will run a full node in the future.

Ok I will update the voting options.

This technical discourse is the best when you learn and awaken interest in its beginnings and how the Bitcoin network works.

I hope it continues like this for a long time.
3893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many Full Nodes Bitcoin online ? on: December 05, 2018, 09:49:52 PM
Since I have Bitcoin I have always had a Full Node online, first on an old PC, then on a laptop and now I will install it on a 24/7 server where I have my music, photography and video server.

It the least i can do for Bitcoin. lol
3894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many Full Nodes Bitcoin online ? on: December 05, 2018, 09:36:01 PM
I don't see any reason to run a full node nowadays. Mining nodes do have an incentive to be run. Non-mining nodes don't, or do they?

Many nodes, more decentralization, better for the network and for Bitcoin.

Rewards for having an active node, you do not have.

(Bitnodes ran a program to incentivize full node operators until the end of 2015)

This topic is interesting for this reason is in the OP



The thing is I don't think non-mining nodes add much security or decentralisation to the network. If you already are a major economic player, ie: an exchange, then yes, running a node adds security for both the network and yourself. Other than that I don't see much advantage. This is not a democracy, no one is gonna care if my node reject a transaction but if Bitstamp node rejects it, that has some real impact. On the other hand are nodes at the front of major pools which obviously have a great impact on the network but those do have an indirect incentive being a fundamental part of the miners behind.

A question, in the collapse of transactions 2017 perhaps with thousands and thousands of active nodes we would not have had the problem in the network.

But why did YOU call me a socialist? I wanna know.
reported for off topic. Shocked
do you run a full node? sir? Huh
do you agree with that pruning? eh?

It's completely on topic. In fact I am the only one that voted that I don't run a full node. That's MY vote.

I stopped running it like three/four years ago.

Yes, I do agree with pruning in some cases. (ie: better than nothing).

Socialist why?
Can you not afford a 2010 laptop, like your comrade up there^, to run a full node?
It would strengthen the network. Or do you prefer to leech off your fellow man?
Or are you broke from paying taxes for the universal healthcare in your country (that you said you support)?

Note to commies and real people alike: 2010 laptops are fine as nodes but unsafe for keeping bitcoin on. Keep your bitcoin on an air-gapped much older machine, mkay?
Don't let the govt take your money yo.



I have to make everyone respond like that.
y tho?

y tho?

I say this because I see that the structure is understood to respond.

You have a Full Node 24/7 , tell your experience ?

My linux node runs 24/7. It's easy to manage: only updating the software requires some work now and then.

Quote
Do you have any suggestions for Bitcoin Core Node and Wallet in the new updates ?
When a new version is published, it would be nice to have automatic update packages pushed to appropriate servers too. Signed and all, of course.

Quote
Now a sensitive issue, you think that the Bitcoin network would have to reward in some way the complete nodes 24/7?
Economic rewards are for miners. Your own security is your reward, I guess.


(Gentlemen! Please. This is not the WO thread.)


The best answer !!!

Greetings

I have to make everyone respond like that.

(Gentlemen! Please. This is not the WO thread.)

I do not care today is the opening of the thread and it is an honor to have them here Cool

If with this thread we get 1 new node, We won a little more battle  Grin
3898  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many Full Nodes Bitcoin online ? on: December 05, 2018, 07:39:33 PM
Yeah no, you can run really old nodes that don't validate any of the newer rules and transactions.
Luke-jr said somewhere sth like 'well they aren't full nodes then', but many disagree.

lol Segwit is optional they said.

So yes a nice topic about a very important part of Bitcoin - run a full node, people.

* Running a full node is the only way you can use Bitcoin in a trustless way.

I know.

But why did YOU call me a socialist? I wanna know.

Keep calm, do not fight, be patient, lol

Im not sure its safe out here guy's.....guy's?

-----------
Yes, Yes, Yes, No.

+1 WOsMerit anyhow for decent newb post. Seems legit.

Carry on.

Sure, I think it's one of the issues that newcomers do not know.
Thanks for the support

Market cap is a lie.
