How many of you have 24/7 Bitcoin Nodes?

[blumangroup]

Will buy a computer only for running bitcoin-qt and other 27/7 services. Don't want risk put my main computers under uch stress, because all of them contaim things that will be a pain to get again, and are more expensive then a computer only made for it.

Running QT 24/7 would really not (IMO) put your computer under very much stress. It uses very little computing power and very little bandwidth (now).

I think the OP was actually referring to people running a VPS or a dedicated server to be a full node to support the network. It is really not very expensive to run a VPS, they only cost a few dollars per month to run.

The only major stress would be on the hard drive or SSD which could get quite a bit of thrashing if you have a significant upload pipe.  Other than that even a Celeron could host a node.

i cant afford pc upgrade or vps

I would really like to purchase around 5 VPS so I could run 5 24/7 Bitcoin nodes just to help a little and feel I contributed.

Any one has a rough idea how much bandwidth is needed for running a node 24/7?

[Strawbtcerries]

I cant afford even using Bitcoin QT cuz my PC is shit.

The bandwidth goes up when you are connected to more nodes. You are constantly exchanging data with some or all of them.

I think it I have seen it exceed a few gigabytes a day, at least with my computers that connected to about 20~30 others.
