How To Run A Bitcoin Node For FREE - Bitcoin Core

[@fusion9619]

This is my favorite KZbin channel. 100%!! I learn so much here 😸

[@ahmad.a2018]

@@btcsessionsyoutube3864 Hello dear. Have you downloaded Bitcoin Core completely? It works for you now. If so, let's talk. It's very important

[@baronsilverbaron757]

Excellent. The first video to explain interacting with the BTC Node.

[@RONIN_SATS]

I am biased but I think everyone should run their own full node. It helps the network and it provides you with even more security and personal verification. The cost is minimal.

[@waynebaimbridge6152]

I agree! But, it brings to mind something even more important. Freedom, privacy, security, wreaking the sociopathic run centralized economic system. Just for starters of course there's the whole making the world a better place. If you're into that kind of thing... I'm just sayin..

[@Hboogie182]

What's the most energy efficient way of running a full node?

[@RONIN_SATS]

@@Hboogie182 I am not sure, probably using some type of solar set up. I run a node at my home on an old laptop and I run another node at work on an unused PC. Depends on your location but the cost is nominal for me.

[@0x007A]

@@Hboogie182 maybe a Raspberry Pi with a large capacity, high-speed micro/SD card.

[@markpalmer8083]

Only Dr Adam Satoshi Nakamoto Back could have come up with this sh*t, but you are talking to the 0.01% of the human population who are obsessive, compulsive, semi-autistic computer nerds and tech geeks. Mr General Public is never going to use and adopt this, unless it is made far, far, far simpler and more user friendly.

[@carolyn9547]

I was downloading the blockchain on an old laptop and after almost 2 weeks I gave up and downloaded on my Mac with M1 chip... done within 24 hours and that was with my laptop shutting down several hours overnight because the battery died. Awesome Mac

[@brucepBKK]

would be nice for you to have a video where you compare, contrast the various nodes that you have done youtube videos on separately... and pick the one that you like the best and the reasons for that choice...

[@rick_grimes8434]

This was awesome🙌🏾

[@atinoteintunovas9969]

Very cool! Thank you Ben! Have a nice day!

[@UKBitcoinMaster]

Great tutorial Ben. I’ve got an M1 Mac with top spec too and boy does it rock n roll!! Hope you’re having a super vacation too 😎😎

[@praxis681]

If I’m using a third party wallet, what’s the point in running bitcoin core? Wym trust someone else? Either way you need the transaction to be confirmed by miners so what’s the difference? I’m new to this so if you could give an in depth explanation please Thanks

[@talltodd]

Great video. It would also be great to show how we can add Lightning to this node as well. Thanks.

[@ricardomiranda7737]

I may have missed it but, when you sent the sats out of your core node, I didn't see the SW prompt for your keys...how is the wallet in your node being secured...

[@stuarth1776]

We need a update on bitcoin core set up, back up

[@weyder]

Great content, keep it coming, just conected a channel to you, do you use charge-lnd or any other script to automate fees? Thx

[@BTCSessions]

Thanks! No scripts currently, just manual tinkering. Gonna do a video on optimization later tho!

[@weyder]

@@BTCSessions i wait for It thx! So if i dont push or loop, should i put 0 fee? Until traffic flows both ways ?

[@GoosterBobohair-w3p]

Very helpful but still confused a bit. So basically just having the wallet installed, you are now running the node? Can you use your own node to transfer funds from an exchange to your wallet?

[@PremaDelpi]

Same question

[@Guyontheinternet1]

Another great video!

[@Louie92801]

So when you store the DAT file on a USB it becomes a cold storage wallet im assuming? Also if I store the DAT file on my USB and I go to another computers node I can just load up my bitcoin and i'm good? I'm really new to this.

[@cryptoloco6218]

Could I run this node on a mini pc? Thanks so much for the great video.

[@nielsmoller2719]

Well done again, thks:) one question in regards to using other wallets. Can you also choose this Bitcoin core node on your Mac if you for example use a hw cold wallet from Trezor, ledger, cold card etc? Or did I miss something:)?

[@rasoulkhandan9334]

Is it possible to generate income in this way?

[@carolyn9547]

Can we see the screen with the node running? What's it look like on screen?

[@Caring.for.Couples]

can you switch from downloading the whole of the transactions at first then to pruning later? i ask because i think it would be cool to save the first 500gb or something of it all (as a souvenir), but obviously dont plan to save the entirety of the network to infinity and beyond.

[@LoLGamers4Life]

How can i connect the bitcoin core to my electrum wallet?

[@janorr1111]

Thank You for such a Great Video! :)

[@Walkingstreetswithmatt1989]

What if I don’t have all day internet access? Can I shut it off

[@SurvivalMeAndYou]

can i receive bitcoin too the same address or do i have to make a new one each time i need to receive

[@arunrai474]

hey its a greaat video, is there any downside of installing prune node ?

[@RT-gj5bp]

Great video!

[@OG-gv5hl]

Can I run a full node on my laptop if BTC Core its saved to an external SSD HD so it doesn't use up all my disk space?

[@Fenix-gy1bx]

Can I install bitcoin core on 1 empty HD and use tails as OS?? I try and bitcoin core does not connect to any peers. When I use Linux Mint it starts to sync normally.

[@bobmcdonald6638]

How would you know someone doesn't have your private keys

[@IanSparkman-jc6sj]

It took only four days running an hp beatsaudio laptop, given this is longer due to testing and utilizing other programs.

[@GhostFaceAKi1la]

You find him yet

[@Ben951456]

Hi there! Is there any reasons why you wouldnt want to do this on a computer you use for everyday stuff? Thanks!

[@ahouehan]

yes for security, if you get malware you could lose your funds. if you run this, do it on a secure computer which does nothing else.

[@NoosaHeads]

Can someone let me know if I use my Ledger Nano WITH this node or INSTEAD OF the Ledger?

[@Rlavington24700]

how do you store the 2GB version (the soft version) to your hard drive (the one with the most space) and not store it to your SSD (the one with the least amount of space) There must be an opinion that lets you put the data into a hard drive of your choice ??

[@0x007A]

In the video it is mentioned you can choose the location of the data directory.

[@YamadaDesigns]

Did you Install without verifying the signature?

[@vaibhavipatil3082]

Bro can I transfer bitcoin in this wallets like other wallets

[@lochlanwilson6286]

I would love to see the background picture that is shown in the screen shots haha. Looks like an amazing piece of art work, any where I can view the whole thing?

[@SunitaKumari-h8q3i]

Sir can we earn btc using btc core like lightning node?

[@JaimeGarcia-sm4vr]

How did you get strike in Canada?

[@romainmaurice]

Are we earning sat?

[@Fudmottin]

Does Bitcoin Core perform mining? If not, what else do you have to download? I've also heard that there are groups that combine their computing power for mining. How do you find and join one of those?

[@dariocarnelutti6002]

Yes you can mine with Bitcoin Core , however, chances are you’ll never find a block on your own. You can join bitcoin pools and share the revenue

[@Fudmottin]

@@dariocarnelutti6002 I've priced the Ant miners that people like to use. Ouch! Also, I can only provide a 120v supply and the UPS I use will not tolerate a 3.5Kw load. I would still need the proper software to join a pool.

[@selfdev0l0pment]

nice introduction, thanks

[@denverado5594]

Can I use BTC Core to purchase BTC or is it just for transferring?

[@jamesthompson3099]

It is just a wallet. No purchases or sales.

[@n1mbusmusic606]

i tried with tor and it didn't work. should i be worried about fakes? the logo has a cross through it when i try to download the core software. any help? thanks love this channel.

[@saltpony]

Thanks Ben!!

[@BTC_4ME]

how is this a node? this is just a wallet??? did i miss something?

[@wolfnite59]

guys can bitcoins be converted to cash and how is it done

[@discardingsabot5898]

You have to join an exchange to open an account in your country probably and they'll have all your KYC. If you have the BTC, for instance you mined it, one can find an ATM or casino in another country and send the BTC to the machine for the local cash. Otherwise one would have to negotiate with the receiver to exchange something. El Salvador it's legal tender. You could convert to El Salvador"s fiat(paper) then buy dollars. Be aware many countries have alert signals for amounts converted.

[@MechanizedFnnFntr]

It took me two weeks

[@Leeds1919LUFC]

That's why running a node just isn't feasible. A week to get all the transactions, lol no thanks

[@BTCSessions]

On a good computer you can do it in 12 hours. It's the entire history of every transaction that has ever happened. That said, you don't need to do it, it's just important that people CAN if they choose to.

[@Leeds1919LUFC]

@@BTCSessions Please can you do a video on running a node with Sparrow wallet and Coldcard and a tutorial of using that node to send/receive bitcoin? How you can verify it's real btc etc.
