First Annual Node Drive
-
Prolly 16 hours out of the day. Backup my db daily also just in case (config file also). Archive for as long as I think is needed.
-
Will switch my pc (full-time) to local wallet and will do the same on my laptop (part-time^^)
-
I already have one machine running the local wallet full time and could start it on another. Does it matter if they're on the same network?
-
I've been running the local wallet 24/7 on one of my servers for about a month now. That way my password never leaves my LAN! :) Setting up an extra node on an RPi sounds fun, and I have a few sitting around. I'm putting it on my to-do list.
-
Nope same network is fine but just know that if your network goes down all of your nodes will be down
-
Then that is the motivation to sort out the local wallet on my 24/7 rig.Also if one of the smart guys do a dummy linux "how to set up RPi B wallet" I am in.I could always use few assets and help the network:)
-
I'll have one running on my mining rig shortly. What kind of system resources are required for a node? I figure if a RPi can run one I can too, even with 4gb of ram and a two core cpu. Is it just mining that would take additional resources vs just providing more peers for the network?
-
@TimboSlice your biggest usage while running a node is gonna be bandwidth so if you have low bandwidth caps I don't suggest running a node. As far as system resources a RPi is plenty powerful enough to be a node but the CPU in it isn't strong enough to make mining feasible.
-
wallet is finally fully sync and running 24/7 now
-
I run two locals on the same machine so I guess you can use the same network.
-
Another newb question here - do we have to be logged into the wallet to act as a node? I notice in the new version it gives sync status even without entering a wallet.

no
