I couldnt find one anywhere but was wondering if an Android Bitcoin Node app (like Bitcoin QT) exists. Rather than running my computer 24/7 to make a node, I'd like to support the network by having a small android tablet run as a node. Cheers.

lol no cant do....

A complete node would require a full blockchain.

No way you can have it on a mobile device.... its a RAM hog as well.


Um why not? Storage clearly isn't the issue... processing the blockchain could take a while but isn't impossible. I don't see why this is entirely out of the question.

Impossible.

Possible - but not neccesary.
