2. You misinterpret my statement, what i emphasize is allow incoming connection. Few router/firewall have some restriction regarding incoming connection, especially on uncommon ports (unlike port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS which is common).

5. AFAIK :
  • Disable pruning/prune mode
  • Enable txindex
  • Enable server and configure rpcuser and rpcpassword

It might be different since i tried LN on test-net, not main-net almost a year ago.

6. You either can modify bitcoin.conf or add -port=n to startup parameter, but i'd recommend modify bitcoin.conf for your convenience.

1. What Port Should I Used?
Default port: 8333

2. Is It True That Nodes With Port Besides 8333 Didn't Contribute To Bitcoin Decentralization
By changing the default port your node will establish only outbound connections. If you want to support the network you should allow inbound connections.

3. Can I Still Relay My Transaction if I Used Port Besides 8333?
Yes

4.What Is The Pros And Cons Of Using Port 8333?

Hello Guys, I Planning To Run Some Bitcoin Node, And I Got Some Questions About It.

1. What Port Should I Used?
2. Is It True That Nodes With Port Besides 8333 Didn't Contribute To Bitcoin Decentralization
This Would Encourage End-User To Run Node (MORE DECENTRALIZATION)
It's only true if the full node is configured to open port 8333 which allow incoming connection. Does ABcore open it by default?
3. Can I Still Relay My Transaction if I Used Port Besides 8333?
4.What Is The Pros And Cons Of Using Port 8333?
5.Are There Any Specific Node Setting If I Used The Node For LN?
6.How To Change Node Port?

Thanks Wink

Will Give Merit To The Answer
