We would like to introduce one of the smallest full nodes around - nimbleNODE.
Many people throughout the world are unable to participate in running a full node due to a lack of knowledge or resources. Furthermore, the space needed to run a full node is more than often 200GB+ and the syncing process itself can take months, ultimately costing the user time, money, and sanity.
nimbleNODEs are the most portable, affordable, and customizable way to run a full node from anywhere in the world. nimbleNODEs are lightweight, wi-fi and bluetooth-equipped devices that are not much bigger than a dime. This device provides an entry point into crypto without requiring any coding experience.
As nimbleNODEs are full nodes, these devices are also amongst the most secure hardware wallets in the entire world; you’re the only one who can ever access the device. Whether you need an alternative for cold storage or an option to send/receive crypto securely, nimbleNODE has got you covered!
The first release will include support for 7 different cryptocurrencies (listed below). We will be adding many more coins based on feedback and demand, and plan to support every single major blockchain.
While nimbleNODE makes use of commodity hardware like the Pi and Arduino, we will be working on our own customized chips soon, that will support a wide range of node use-cases.
To check out the device and/or pre-order, visit us on the nimbleNODE site:
https://nimblenode.io/Access through mobile (Android/iOS):With nimbleNODE, ease of use and access is top priority. Control your nimbleNODE completely from your mobile phone in 3 simple steps.
1. Plug in the nimbleNODE device with the included power adapter
2. Download the nimbleNODE app from App Store or Google Play Store
3. Open the app and go through the onboarding screen to enable bluetooth and wifi
After successful connection, you’ll be able to:
- Monitor your node status
- Send/receive your coins
- Send commands to the device (RPC)
- Use nimbleNODE as a cold wallet (similar to ledger)
The app will feel the same as any normal crypto wallet would, the only difference is your transactions would be routed through your nimbleNODE instead of a random full node somewhere else.
Key Highlights:- Controllable through a single mobile application (Android/iOS)
- Pre-synced pruned blockchain of your choice (Next release will include option of multiple chains on one device)
- Ability to track coin balance as well as send/receive crypto
- Small, lightweight, and easy to bring with you anywhere
- Rolling updates to allow for chain updates
- Reduced likelihood of reindex (In case of abrupt unplugging, updating with indexing configurations, power outages, etc.)
If pre-syncing doesn’t sit well with you, we provide the option to sync down from scratch.
Included in the box:- nimbleNODE device
- USB 5 Volt power adapter
- 16 GB SD-Card for expandable storage (next release will include miniature SSD to allow non-pruned chains)
