Topic: Do run a Bitcoin Core FULL NODE Now! - page 11. (Read 8557 times)

I agree. That is how I see it as well. It is just that this is trivial for anyone to do and there is nothing we can do about it. It is their right to fork, that is my opinion, and if you just ignore their existance, they cause a very little harm to the network.

To be honest, it is pretty obvious that Bitcoin is can not be stopped. Not by a fork, not by a government, not even by shutting of the Internet. Bitcoin will be as good as ever, don't worry too much.

Of course I hope all must be fine too.

But the b2x fork is not a usual hard fork producing an altcoin.

The problem with b2x is that they refuse to implement the replay protection!  They wish to make the whole decentralized community  comply to their (totally unnecessary) 2Mb sized blocks decision!
That's how I see it

Bitcoin will be just fine, you are being paranoid. Running a full node always helps the network, it won't do anything special now. It isn't a voting system, it doesn't matter when it comes to forks. There might be a bit of lost connections during a fork as nodes start following different chain and disconnect, but this will last for a very short time and if you want to help for this purpose only then just run it during those 10 minutes when the fork happens.

I actually didnt think about implement a full node on my computer, but Ill do it. Is not 24/7, but is something. I have a mining rig and a raspberry pi 24/7, but i dont have any free disk to use for that.

   Greetings to all good will people!

   Now, when the bunch of deceitful,  greedy,  incompetent,  irresponsible idiots from B2X (sorry for some harshness) are really endangering the Bitcoin,
  
   All of us who are smart enough and responsible should immediately start a Bitcoin core (best of all the latest 0.15.0.1 version) full node client!

   If until now you haven't started your own bitcoin core client - just do it right now!
   Believe me it is so simple!

   Personally I have been running mine for 3 months already.
   For those of you who perchance are afraid of keeping money in a wallet which is constantly connected to the Internet, and even accepting incoming connections (be sure to turn this option on),  I want to say that you do absolutely not need to store any money in your Core full node client!

   You may just keep somewhere offline just a key phrase for recovering your bitcoin private keys and addresses (your real wallet). Or you may run somewhere on another computer the electrum wallet,  or any other wallet that allows you, and no one else, have full control over your wallet's private keys.

  In my own full node bitcoin core 0.15.0.1 client,  for example, I keep absolutely no bitcoins at all.
  I run it solely for supporting the true bitcoin network!
  The most important thing is that your Bitcoin Core full node should be ONLINE as much as possible!

  (After you setup your Core full node do obligatorily check that you really have the 8333 port open and accessible from outside. You may check if your node is seen from outside here for example : https://bitnodes.21.co
