🔥 NotATether's [CHALLENGE] Run A Bitcoin Node: 14 Days To 14 Merits

[Wonder Work]

Congratulations to Wonder Work for completing the challenge!

NotATether brother, My 14-day journey is over. I am still waiting for the Bitcoin Core Download. Should I keep it running or turn it off? Waiting for your reply, dear brother

It's all done! Congrats. But if the node is not too much of a burden for you, you should keep running it to support the Bitcoin network.

Thanks dear Bro, I downloaded using less storage by plugging. Since it supports the bitcoin network, i think it should continue. I will try to keep it.

Legend:

†Indicates a bitcoin node failure or some other reason which I have been made aware of. Members who are absent for too long will be removed without notice and will have to start over if they want to rejoin.

*Indicates a person who has not submitted a report for a long time. Please do so immediately to avoid getting removed without notice.

#Indicates a person whose report was not processed because it is incorrect. Usually this is because you misnumbered your days. Please fix your report as soon as possible.

Report generation is semi-automated now, so if you see any error in the progress report like your name isn't listed correctly, and so on, please let me know so I can fix it.

Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports. It makes compiling this list slightly harder.

If you don't meet the minimum rank requirements, your post will be ignored.

Congratulations to The Hidebehinder for completing the challenge!
