but is not in the same server
But they're likely still in the same datacenter, they still help, just not as much as they would if they were spread out more.

If you host a bunch of nodes on one server provider, you're really not doing that much good. They need to be spread out more.

it seems that and in my case the /usr/local/bin/btc-update.py
is not running. I try to run it manual but with no luck.
The strange is in the same system in my old vps the update.py still runs fine

I may. But I'd like to estimate the chances of success before spending time fiddling with custom builds of the client...

More people could be in that same situation and you might be the one who paved the way for them Wink. I already said "is stable enough" because, well, I can do so Wink.

[pull request 4701, autoprune]

How successful is this?

I'd like to know this too. Anyone tried it?

Great!  The superb pricing that kicked off this thread no longer works with the expanded size of the blockchain.

The pull request 4701 implements autoprune and is stable enough to give it a try. Easy directions to build it are on reddit. Just add the "prune" parameter to the bitcoin.conf (e.g. "prune=19500" for a 20 Gb box) and you're set.

Edit, it looks like rpc is not running correctly or the script/caller does not have the correct permissions to access the proxy url

Code:
>>> dir(access._get_response())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py", line 163, in _get_response
    http_response = self.__conn.getresponse()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1018, in getresponse
    raise ResponseNotReady()
httplib.ResponseNotReady


Hypothesis is correct:
Code:
root@fullnode:/# curl http://****:****@127.0.0.1:8332

I have transfer again the server to Uk location and i have setup once again from the scratch. Now i have a problem to see the web page and i only see the apache server page. I try to change the apache path to  /var/www but it didnt work. The strange think is that i can see the vnstat page without problem. Any idea?

Two days now i cant access my node through ssh. It seems to be offline. I have ask forr support but in this days they say that they look to my problem but nothing happens. Can i add to the node a brute force attack protection like fail2ban to protect the node from ddos attack?

Following closely - I'm running a full node on my desktop now that never gets turned off, but I'm looking into getting this too.
Great!  The superb pricing that kicked off this thread no longer works with the expanded size of the blockchain.  But, if you can get a good deal on a VPS somewhere, it's still a pretty efficient way to contribute to the network.  If you need help setting up a VPS for a full node, I think Morblias will still help with that, too.
