[upupup]

hey guys, how is things?
I have VPS with only one website on it so it has some free resources. But i dont have Linux knowledge so need your help: lets make better world and make bitcoin and tor nodes on that machine, m? Could you do this? Know how to do it? Please let me know and we'll speak and make it happen! Machine centos, webmin, lamp, 3gb ram and 9.60 GHz (4 x 2.40 GHz) with 100mbps line (1TB)
IMPORTANT: only admins with reputation, thanks!

P.S. does anyone know how much bandwidth in average do bitcoin node use?

Thanks

It varies depending on how many people download blocks from you. Here are the stats from my node: https://i.minus.com/idMZRa9nX7QWn.png (1:16:31:33 uptime)

Hi, thanks a million! The reason i dont do it myelf is that there is one website running on that VPS and i'm afraid to messup config of the server. Could you please advise if your install instructios safe and wont effect general server config?
Really appreciate, thank you!

actually if you want a bare bones installation, you can probably get away with downloading the linux binaries off https://bitcoin.org/en/download and executing that.

Aaaalrigh, will try that. Thanks!
Anyway if there is any volunteers who could have spare time to help with this then give me a shout, thank you

Wow. That's like, 5 gigs per hour. Now, that looks serious.

look again, it's 1 day, 16 hours, 31 minutes, and 33 seconds

I can help you with that. Building / running bitcoind won't interfere with your server. You can run it with some niceness, so other tasks get priority CPU wise. If you want prioritize the bandwith too, it gets a bit more complicated (I'm not sure if trickle works on that OS, but if it does that would be easiest). If you have a firewall installed you will need to open port 8333.

Some more example stats here:

Edit: You don't mention how much hard drive space you have available.

discrepancy between first and next two probably caused by latency, israel is only a good option for other locations in middle east and Africa, not so great for bitcoin

oh, i should note that on the 3rd server, the 35.3GB is because I set it up recently and downloaded blockchain to it but didn't reboot.
