I'm not sure if there are other ways for you to contribute to the actual network itself, basically you can either mine or operate a full node and that's it (as far as I know). You're still helping a little every time you sync a wallet with the network even if it's not a constant thing. The blockchain has now reached over 50 GB in size.

Crypto Swap Exchange
Buying a VPS and run a Bitcoin Node on it. Note that it requires some space and money so this may be a problem.

Otherwise, try getting a raspberry pi 2, attach an old HDD on it and let it run there. You do need some optimizations however due to the limited ram available on raspberry pi 2.

IMO, the best way to contribute is to use Bitcoin. With more volume, merchants would be enticed to try to accept it.

even if you have a multibitHD wallet that syncs into just 10 seconds you need also a good way to find btcs and code in order for you to pormote the coin but any pormotion into a good maenner its good to develop the btc net

it don't take too much space to run core , it's 60 gb, you can do it easily nowadays plenth of space even among the best ssd

if you want to support the network running a full node is the best way, or if you can, you can simply go with the mining route

If your a coder, you could contribute by helping to find and test if there is anything wrong and tell it to the developers and if your just a regular user, you could either mine to help with the transaction and to inject more Bitcoins to the network or just buy Bitcoin using your own money and help it get circulated to the system.

Hi all . I saw this article and got to wondering how I could contribute to the bitcoin network. http://bitcoinist.net/btcc-deploys-full-bitcoin-nodes-to-keep-network-secure/

i don't have a synced wallet on a computer as it must take up quite a bit of space now I imagine (?).
What are the ways to contribute?

Ways to contribute? Use bitcoin. You don't need to mine or have a full client wallet in your machine to help bitcoin, using bitcoin for buying and buying bitcoin itself can be a contribution to the network. Also, AFAIK you can submit some of your revisions in the code in GitHub, that is also one contribution I could think of.
