Topic: How much would you pay per month to run a full node? - page 3. (Read 1914 times)
I would pay more than $30 a month for a virtual server with enough bandwidth, disk and I/O to run a full node. However, I would only run and control it myself and not have anyone else manage it for me. I also won't bother if there were other nodes already running in the subnet or ASN.
That being said, the current solution to this problem I'm solving a different way, data centers I looked at want too much for this kind of thing, I have another way to have the same effect, at least until profit justifies the expense.
I would pay $5. But I would not pay anyone else to run my node. I would need to run it my self in order to be able to trust it.
a datacenter with multiple nodes running... seems like a sybil attack
if your going to rely on a third party service to host a node.. you might aswell just use blockchain.info wallets as once you brush away the buzzwords and glossy concepts.. the fundementals are all the same.
infact apart from having the wallet file on (hopefully) separate hard drives.. the data is all the same so no need to have 100 copies of a blockchain in one data center. just need separate wallets

I wouldn't want the wallets anywhere near the data center. Just a node I run that my shopping carts can query confirmation status on specific addresses.
e.g. a single full-node running at data center X that does not accept accept external requests.
Any of my web servers running on that same data center can make a TLS reqest with a list of payment addresses to a small web server running on the node and get a json response with the corresponding confirmation information.
Frankly Franky1 I do not trust 3rd party processing services. And with Bitcoin, I don't have to.

i fully agree to this

I selected 7,5$. That's more or less what I paid in the last few hosts I've used in the last year. No host went beyond 8/9$, I think... Had specs ranging from 2 Cores/2GB/60GB HDD/1TB to 8 Cores/4GB/100GB HDD/10TB
I think it will cost about $10 per month taking into account the cost of electricity (for computer and air-conditioning), hardware, maintenance and network.
I don't really understand the question... Running a full node is a personal choice. Why paying for someone to run a node?
Running a full node on a data center would allow a bitcoin shopping cart to have a close, fast trusted source that sees transactions and confirmations.
Such a node should not accept incoming connections (except from servers under your control) and should gets its transactions and blocks from well-connected full nodes, so that it is not vulnerable to the Race Attack, Finney Attack, or the Vector76 attack.
It would allow you accept transactions with 0 confirmations quickly and securely without relying upon a third party service.

I don't have an answer but this is something I have been thinking about.
The real cost is in how much disk space. I can get a cheap linode for $10 a month but it won't come with the data capacity for the block chain.
