Full Node Survey (Please Help - Takes a Second)

[ajareselde]

 It's inconvenient
 It takes up too much hard drive space
 It uses too much bandwidth
 I prefer other wallet options
 takes too long to synchronize with the network
 I do run a full node

Everything from above.

I can't seam to get rid of an old habbit it seams, so i'm still running bitcoin core. TBH electrum is way better in terms of ..well..everything, but
for some reason i still run core also, unless someone is gaming, and then i have to turn it off due to ping.
I DO prefer electrum over it, but my main wallet is still in old client, and i doubt i'll change that, i want to help the network in the small way that i can.

cheers

Basically these reasons.. Expect that I don't run a full node because of it.. I also completely hate the Qt look (am I the only one who thinks it looks shitty?)

If I could host part of the blockchain and could upload less information I would consider running a (partial) node.

I'm missing option "There is not reason to run it, except geeky feeling of green blinking box with linux on top of it"

really, I don't want to buy new ferrari because I'm running node, but some gift (t-shirt from foundation) or public appreciation (list of node owners volunteering) or some satoshis for at least cover electricity would be nice. sadly, there is nothing except "good geeky feeling", which can't remain forever and cover transaction network..

I hear ya. In a campaign ran by the EFF (I think) TOR relays were given a small token of appreciation - stickers, shirts and whatnot. If the BF were any good they might do the same. PS. I do run a full node. Geek.

I'm all about that full node.  Makes me feel like a better person.

Well and I have an excuse to use my 16 TB RAID (0+1), yes on 16 drives.  God knows why I built that thing, but it sure comes in handy and cheap when buying off of Craigslist.

yes yes:)

this is actually, what I want to point, because I'm running tor relay (which is consuming almost no CPU/memory/disk space and I can fully manage the bandwidth) and get fancy t-shirt and stickers for it. at least something. bitcoin node, which is big ass server like application with dozens of GB demand, consuming lot of disk I/O and you can't manage bandwidth (as far as I know) can bring you few bucks in some lottery and nothing else..

are developers working on it or is there some plans how to motivate guys to run the node..?
