Monero node is easier in sense that most laptops ship with 512gb ssd, so 360gb is fine for blockchain
Also monero node is more useful as basic daemon provides direct rpc for wallets to connect to
Bitcoin requires electrum/electrs to run on top or bitcoind in comparison
TBF all monero wallets I've tried have shitty UX where you need to wait for it to sync everytime you open them
Monero is less space efficient compared to Bitcoin, especially when compared to the amount of economic activity both conduct.
I don’t think there is a blockchain in existence which is easier to run a full node for than Bitcoin (aside for lesser used Bitcoin clones).
Litecoin?
Doge?
Both are direct Bitcoin clones with less total usage than Bitcoin. Dogecoin was made in 2 hours by directly forking Bitcoin, and Litecoin is also close to a carbon copy.
In fact, Litecoin is so similar that a few Bitcoin upgrades have been tested on Litecoin first as a trial to see if there are bugs or compatibility issues.
Yes. Like lightning.
no
My point was storage space and usefullness now.
360gb + direct rpc connection to wallets right out ot the box
