Hi everyone,

im  not new in any way i just dumped the Bitcoin Core software today because i found out that bitcoin.org took over the whole Transaction verifying andf Centralized it while stating they want decentralized verifikation.
First for you all as Info:

I was running a Full node for Years now, could pay my costs for the node by the income of the Core software, not much costs at all, but it was capped by the income for transaction ver4ifying ad so on.
since a few weeks my balance in the Core Wallet was first not moving at all, then went negative, then stopped at zero while still Transactions running through my Node, i didnt get a Cent for that anymore, they overtook it silently and without warning.

So i went to look for a new wallet and ended her, jusst to read i  need Bitcoin Core to run armory, now my Question, do BC have to run all the time i run armory or is it just for the blockchain ?
I dont want them to verify Transactions remote controlled on my PC, thats a Security issue i can not accept, My port 8333 was open the whole time, made me vulnerable and i had to add additional Security features on my PC to keep the Roamers away who frequently visited my PC, opened every Textfile for Private Keys or worse. I have proof it hapened.

But for the Beginning i would be happy to know they dont connect to my PC again for verifying anything.
im ok for keeping the Blockchain up, but not 24/7 again.

Hope you People can feed me with the Information i need.
 Thx in advance and a nice Day.

Armory needs Core for blockchain data AND networking.

It doesn't have to be in any setup.

In this specific case, you only need the node running while you are actively using Armory.

?

Every node verifies the transaction it receives. There is no remote control going on  Cheesy



My port 8333 was open the whole time, made me vulnerable and i had to add additional Security features on my PC to keep the Roamers away who frequently visited my PC, opened every Textfile for Private Keys or worse. I have proof it hapened.

Opening a port itself does not necessarily create a security risk.
If you have remote access on your computer, it is infected with malware. This has nothing to do with core.

I'd also love to see the proof.



But for the Beginning i would be happy to know they dont connect to my PC again for verifying anything.

Are you talking about incoming connections from the bitcoin network ?
That's how the network works. Noone has access to any files or similar on your computer.

You are just exchanging block data. That's all.

well, looks like thats all i need to know, so with armory i use my own bitcoin core as a connection between me and the blockchain network, right ?

does the Bitcoin Core has to run as a full node for that or is it enough its running ?

There is no other mode of operation atm. You HAVE to use your own node.

It has to be a fully synchronized full node. It needs only to run while Armory is running.
