Are Bitcoin Full Nodes allowed (not miners)?
Nodes function as communication hubs, storing the blockchain, validating transactions, and relaying information. Conversely, miners provide computational power to create new blocks, validate transactions, maintain consensus, and secure the network.Nodes are mainly used to query for data on the blockchain.

are nodes computationally intensive?
Don't they require specialized hardware? <:mommy_confused:1023749002069540935>
They don't but it requires quite a bit of storage at least 500gb prob. better to reserve more & bandwidth too..
well then that isnt going to be cost effective to run on railway
For sure not
I don't believe so. I run it in the background while programming.
No, they don't. This is different than a miner.
For storage yes, it will take more. I'm clocking in at 640.37gb for my local one right now. There's also a pruned version which can take significantly less space.
Can't beat Railway's DX which is why I was considering it
well you only get a 50gb volume on the pro plan, so good luck with convincing the team to give you more storage to run a bitcoin node π€£
They are paying for GCE under the hood, that will be difficult :/
likely not a desirable workload anyway

@tansan [build mode] might be worth having a look at the servers from netcup.eu. Their pricing is super competitive.
thanks! for me, I'm mainly looking for maximizing for the DX. I would prefer to run a pruned node on railway if its allowed
You can run a node, just be prepared to pay for it
