I’ve seen people saying the raspberry pi bitcoin nodes are a stupid craze, just run a node on a computer
But what if you don’t have a computer. Aren’t you supposed to have a dedicated machine for it? And doesn’t a computer run up quite a bit more electricity cost?
Trying to decipher whether this take is out of touch with actual peasant plebs. It seems like yes. Ok then, good talk
why would you want to run a Bitcoin node if you can't mine?
So you don’t leak your xpubs to a “custodial” aka someone else’s node, validate your own transactions, zero risk of censoring yourself, audit the timechain yourself, enforce the rules of the protocol
The miners just hash for valid blocks with what the nodes give them. Plebs run this shit
Also until stratum v2 comes out even if you mine you’re connecting to the node of your mining pool, not your own node
if you are hashing for valid blocks and then publish those to cash out, that's called running a full node... you're literally building the blockchain.
Ummm no. A full node doesn’t hash for blocks
then we're not talking about the same thing
last time i ran one of those, if you had a Bitcoin server, it was hashing - but this was years ago
(we're talking pre-GPU mining, back when it was mainly hobbyists who were into Bitcoin)
Lol yeah that was a while ago. Before my time. Nowadays you can run a full node on a raspiblitz and if you mine your hash power is part of a pool, and that pool runs the node you’re connected to 🤙
Raspberry pi*
Fuck i do that all the time (my node is a raspiblitz implementation, that’s why)
Это не только узел) но кошелек)))
Ser why you gotta reply to me in russian, all your other notes are english
Я отвечаю на собственном языке это мое личное решение. как вы видите это сообщение это ваше предпочтение видеть, у меня стоит пробдвинутый автопереводчик, так что я читаю все сообщения на своем языке, и делаю ответ на собственном. а авто переводчик просто находит более подходящий язык для передачи смысла и слов на другом и делает автозамену моих мыслей)
если Вам трудно это понять то возможно вы еще не настолько продвинутые как Я. Все зависет от образа мышления языка.
мне лень учить другой язык... я просто передаю информацию. а как вы ей будете пользоваться это ваша проблема. можете даже не читать и не переводить)
с помощью других языков я не могу описать свойства структуры времени изза скудности и бедности смысла слов других языков)))
i think he's full of shit because i could reply to everyone in my own language too but everybody knows you need to use English to be understood globally
你不会被整个世界所理解））））。你错了)))
我也没有狗屎。
ок... найди в своем словаре Очень распростроненное слово Кивергентность, найди определение.
ты удивишься, но его нет потомучто Ваш язык не способен описать некоторые язвления в природе и космосе. из-за скудности и смысла перевоваемых слов. коро все... пока нет времени на Ивана)

We say this because RPI4 are way overpriced because of short supply while they don't perform that well. On the other hand "Intel NUC" kind of boxes are readily available, draw about the same wattage and are much more performant.
Running your own node is never a stupid idea, though. Even if you run it on a toaster.
Thank you 🤙 that makes a lot of sense
Is it a requirement to run the node 24/7? I know you won't get a call from Bitcoin's HR department if you don't, but do you derive a benefit from doing it?
Correct, it's not necessary. You could run Bitcoin Core on your computer each time you use it and it will catch up with what's happened since it went offline.
A full node that's running 24/7 is more helpful to the network, though. As it is always ready to stream old blocks to new nodes that are syncthing.
However, if you also want to run a Lightning Network node on your box then uptime is very important.
💯 can’t run a lightning node that’s only on part-time. At least… please don’t 😂
So far, I'm satisfied how my RPi4 is running the node. I had it on for a week or so. The computer was much more expensive than it should be, but it was either that or waiting until October. I didn't realise there were cheaper options (like the Intel something, mentioned in one of the comments). I also don't have space to keep a whole PC running a node. I was considering running a node on my laptop, but that would either consume a tonne of energy or the node would be offline most of the time.
This is an important discussion!
I’m thinking of joining the node network. Does anybody know a good guide for how to set up and launch a node on a rasp. pi?
Thanks in advance!
Here's a great guide on RaspiBolt
Your post is attracting a lot of attention.

Built a Raspberry PI 4 node a couple years ago. Built an Intel NUC node a couple months ago.
The NUC node was cheaper than a Raspberry PI would have been a couple months ago and it has a 2TB NVME drive in it and performs way better than a PI 4.
PIs are currently way overpriced. The entire argument for them was based on cheap prices that don’t exist anymore.
