Topic: Is running a node getting costlier? - page 2. (Read 849 times)
Storage is cheap. the entire blockchain is only 83GB. it might get more expensive to host on virtual servers but it will get cheaper there as well.
Hi All,
I used to run 2 Bitcoin nodes, one on my PC and on Microsoft Azure platform (I had a free 3 year Azure subscription for upto a certain amount of dollars worth of credit). I feel the blockchain size is constantly increasing by a lot and that connection speeds aren't great in a place where I live. I do have 4G networks but they aren't as cheap to buy. On Microsoft Azure I have ran out of disk space as well. I found running a node a good go as a hobby, but it's probably nice for larger companies and places where hard drive and internet is cheaper to run.
What's your take on it?
