Just install the bitcoin client and download the blockchain. |

If anyone needs help setting up a node, or specific questions, please PM me I can help. Also I recommend all node operators to update to 0.8.6 and to switch to disable wallet mode so you can save some ramm.
Are there any specific or noteworthy improvements on .8.6? |

It would be good to change default port number to avoid extra attention from ISP.

It is a command line flag. "-disablewallet"

Ahh, thanks.. I'm still new to all this, haven't even tried any of the switches yet.. is there any detailed documentation of what the console etc allows you to do?

whats the best place in terms of cost to get a VM at to load a node? somewhere where bandwidth isn't an issue?
I don't have time to search for a provider, but of anyone can make a recommendation, that would be great!

Uh, what do you want to accomplish exactly? Do you not want your bitcoind not communicate to the bitcoin network? |

I remember that 8-9 nodes were normal. Now i have something like 50-60 and it seems that it eats up my computer performance. I may be wrong. |

Use the -Maxconnections=n command line option to limit the number of connections. The default is 125. Sam |

Thank you both!
Edit:
Ok found some problems. With the listen=0 option Armory doesn't see the Bitcoin Core client running at all. With the -Maxconnections=n i get 8 connections in Bitcoin Core client but Armory keeps connecting and disconnecting nonstop. I also tried with the listen=0 and let Armory run the Bitcoin Core client in the background but it's just stuck at synchronizing with Network.
Will take these to the Armory thread.

the "n"=the number of connections you want. If you want 8 connections to the network then you would use the command line such as "bitcoin-qt.exe -maxconnections=8" to start your client. |
