How to running nodes bitcoin?

[Not your key not your BTC]

I want to become an active participant in the Bitcoin network, but don't know how to running nodes properly,

I have 2 tera disk with 16 MB RAM, and have unlimited internet with 40 Mbps.

I have fully Synced the blockchain download every day.



I don't know what the first step and how to run bitcoin nodes.

Set up a Bitcoin full node

With your screenshot image, your Bitcoin Core is fully synced which is good. You only need to check that you are running a Bitcoin full node or a Bitcoin prune node.

Check your node type by open Windows > Console > Then type

Code:

getblockchaininfo 

You will have information with

Code:

"pruned": false or true

False means your node is Full node
True means your node is Prune node.

I that's the actual screenshot of your Bitcoin Core node, then you're already running a node and contributing to the Bitcoin Network.

If you're willing to help even more, you may keep your node online as much as possible per day, some even keep their running 24/7 a year (except during maintenance).

And not only that, your network connection icon shows full black dots which indicates that it's well-connected to the network.
If you can see hundreds of inbound connections in your peers list and you haven't set any bandwidth limiting config, then your node is contributing more than a usual Bitcoin Node.
But that doesn't mean that other "limited" nodes aren't contributing.

You are all set if you are keeping your computer up and online 24/7, but for your security I would consider using separate computer for running bitcoin node and not your everyday computer.
This can be done with any old laptop, raspberry pi, or with any other small computer device that has low power settings, and it's better to do it on open source Linux OS.

is it just like that I just contributing to the Bitcoin Network?, if it's true, then I won't do anything more.

I create this thread because I just read This how difficult I set up it on my home.
I still can't join on the network, I can't find my node here

Running a Bitcoin full node is your contribution to the network, the more time you run your node, the more contribution you do.

Bitcoin nodes

Your Bitcoin full node will connect with other nodes, store Bitcoin blockchain data on your device as a copy, share it to other nodes and validate as well as relay new blocks and transactions.

Nodes don't confirm transactions, miners do it, nodes relay these transaction information to other nodes.

It could mean that your node isn't configured to listen for inbound connections.

Check your peers list in "Window->Peers" menu.
If you can only see about 10 nodes there labeled "Outbound", it means that your node cannot listen to incoming connections.
But with all things considered, it's connected to the network since it can initiate connections to other nodes.

If you want to have inbound connections to further increase your connection count to about 125,
you should enable port forwarding in your router, check your firewall if it's blocking inbound connections of Bitcoin Core and enable "listen" config if you've disabled it.
For port forwarding; it's specific per router model so you should check tutorials specific to your router's model.
