Running a BU node and ElectronX server :)

I'm running BU node.

I've been hosting one, mainly used for debugging.

actually now that I think about it NO THANKS. You are concern trolling and obviously a Blockstream Spy. Please read what Satoshi said:

Good luck with your mental defects.

ightweight client-only users who only do transactions and don’t generate and don’t participate in the node network. They wouldn’t need to download blocks, just the hash chain

It's very unfortunate that this narrative persists, even in this community. There is no such thing as a "non-mining full node" in bitcoin. It's a late invention used to attack bitcoin.

Non mining full nodes definitely do exist. They are just not as relevant as most BCorers think.
replied 1813d
I'm pretty sure that you would think that non-mining nodes are relevant when your favorite crypto services went offline.

FUCK BINARY THINKING.

You have severe problems with reading comprehension. Have a go at it again, without your religious and extremist beliefs.

Started as a small mistake by Gavin, when he removed the "Generate" option from the Satoshi client, and later utilized as an attack vector by bitcoin's enemies.

It was never planned, and didn't really exist until 2011. Satoshi himself used the terms "node" and "generator" interchangeably, referring to what we now call "miner".

The bitcoin network was always designed with two types of participants: block generators and SPV users. There is no third type, nor is one necessary.
replied 1813d
lol. You don't have to mine to serve wallets.

The blatantly retarded binary thinking is rampant even in crypto. I blame air pollution. :D

I blame core. I got to see first-hand how the concept of "non-mining full node" was accidentally born, and then gradually twisted until blockchain size became a serious "problem".
replied 1813d
I blame the general idiocy of humans. Core's extremism is one thing, but yours is just as much malicious.

Fuck all the binary thinkers.

It's insidious, because it sounds so altruistic to run a node for the good of the network. But then all of a sudden bitcoin has a tragedy of the commons that just wasn't there before.
replied 1813d
You are again completely misrepresenting everything. There's 0 point in chatting with people like this. so long.

Wrong. There are many other options. Like a full wallet.

You know that there are only 13 mining nodes on the BCH network? Do you think that those 13 nodes alone would be enough?

All these nodes will crash when we'll have sustained 10Mb blocks, or maybe at 100Mb bocks. So I'm not sure if that's a good idea
replied 1813d
This is bullshit. An average PC (i5, 8GB ram, SSD) could handle 125MB+ blocks today.

replied 1813d
Even if I shutdown it for 2~3 days ? Is it still delivering a good user experience ? (Having to wait for sync ..)
I thought you were talking about setting up a special server for that
replied 1813d
You miss my point entirely. I didn't say that everyone should run a node, only that you should run one if you are capable (have the required hw and broadband).
replied 1813d
3 days on sustained 125MB would be 54GB data to catch up with (size of the avg PC game). IT people usually have capable hw just collecting dust and good broadband that could handle it.
replied 1813d
Comparatively, my seed box does 10TB upload MONTHLY which would be ~83886 BCH blocks (almost 2 years of blocks at full 125MB).

replied 1813d
If you already have the hardware indeed it might be a good idea to run a node
replied 1813d
serious? I thought full nodes were a BTC thing. if you're not mining blocks why run a full node?
