I don't but my dad is a network engineer and my husband is an electrical engineer and used to be a sys admin. That's why we have all these old electronics. 😂 Probably why I'm so interested in relays.
I told him I need a terabyte for a full BTC node and he was like
for full nodes i highly recommend mini pc's
they don't need to be very performant, 4gb is enough even, just the disk needs to be decently fast and big - most of the data processing happens in one thread by necessity of the way the chain structure works
it's been a while since it was remotely practical to use a HDD, though probably a loud screaming 10k RPM 5.25 might almost do it
but for basics, just a 2.5" SATA SSD and a second one to dump the chain onto once in a while so if it has a failure like nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcqyqpk2v724perw62x6nj0m6jvrgzyrmdr3j3dnk2p0wekqpkt42l4s3v0jrr is talking about you don't have to wait forever to have it come back online
We have a NAS, but he doesn't want me messing with it. 🙄
anything less than a 10Gbit network connection to the disk is not gonna be much fun, 5Gbit is adequate
My cluster gets by with a 4gig lacp across 3 nodes, haven't really noticed any performance degradation for what I do. I guess caches make the most of it.
people say cln doesn't support pruned nodes but that could just be boogle not letting us search for stuff in the last 5 years cause it seems like both cln and lnd support pruned nodes. a lightning head would know more i can vouch for lnd at least, and litd. ⚡
The only way I got cln to work was with a full node. I think there is a way to prune it after a while, but if I already need 600gb of space to get is started I guess Ill just keep it. When cln starts up it requests genesis block forward and if it's not there it fails and logs an errors something like "missing block data, cln doesn't support pruned nodes"
My old laptop only had 2GB of RAM. 😂 Wimpier than a π
You need a 2TB lol
Leave me alone to grieve. 😭
nope
You can run a pruned node with less.
A full node is already 1TB with electrum.
A full node with fulcrum needs 2TB going forward.
is fulcrum something CATman is talking about?
Fulcrum is an electrum server that does rapid indexing, which is great for deep wallets.
can't be very rapid if it uses 1400Gb of space
It doesn't. A full node with electrum is currently 1TB. A full node with fulcrum is over 1TB now. So a 2TB SSD is a good idea for long term future use ( epsecially if you want to use a faster lookup like fulcrum ) so you don't have to download a ibd again.
i just use xrdp and directly use the bitcoin core GUI, and the only thing i imagine happening next might be running CLN on it
but the chain does grow like 100mb/day so 10 days = 1 gb and 350 left so 3500 days... ok, hah my node will be good until the hardware fails probably - and yes i have address and tx indexes enabled, uses 680gb
my mini pc was 140 euros and has 8gb memory so it's overkill hardware really, i just envisioned maybe i might run LN and one or two other things on it, i had imageproxy running on it for a while
