Day 1 of my Bitcoin Full Node Project.
I found an old MacBook Air from me, now trying to restart it.
It only has 128 GB of Storage, so I will order an external 1TB SSD for the full Blockchain.
Would you guys say 1TB is enough, heard about some people recommending 2TB?
I have never said: "I wish I had gotten less space." when buying external hard drives. and I do buy 2 at a time for redundancy. #oneisnone
The blockchain is around 670 GB right now. If you're just going to run a node and nothing else, get 1 tb and save your pennies. Bitcoin maths says by the time you need more space, it'll cost you a lot less sats
Thank you, so you would recommend only 1TB SSD and the budget for the second TB should better stay in Sats until the blockchain reaches 1TB 👍
If you are only running a node, 1tb will see you out for another couple of years. If you buy btc with the money instead of a hard drive, by the time you need 2 tb you'll be able to buy 4 tb
Go for 2 TB 🤠🤙
2TB is what I just got.
