We would like to introduce the smallest Bitcoin full node around - the nimbleNODE.
Our goal is to provide a simple and affordable full node option, since many people throughout the world lack the knowledge or resources needed to run a Bitcoin full node. nimbleNODEs are a portable Bitcoin full node that focuses on simplicity, and are as affordable and customizable at it gets. Whether you need an alternative for cold storage or an option to send/receive Bitcoin securely, nimbleNODE has got you covered!
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 the App Store or the Google Play Store
3. Open the app and go through the onboarding screen to enable bluetooth and wifi
After a successful setup, you’ll be able to:
- Monitor your node status
- Send/receive BTC
- Send commands to the device (RPC)
- Use nimbleNODE as a cold wallet (similar to ledger)
The app will feel the same as any normal Bitcoin wallet would, the only difference is your transactions will 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 Bitcoin blockchain (4GB)
- Ability to track BTC balance as well as send/receive BTC
- Small, lightweight, and easy to bring with you anywhere
- Reduced likelihood of reindex (In case of abrupt unplugging, power outages, updating with indexing configurations, 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)
Technical Specs:- Dimensions: 1” Width x 2.1” Height
- Weight: 11.8 grams
- Capabilities: Bluetooth, Wireless
- ARMv6 Chip
