Topic: Someone says about "running your own full node" but.. - page 2. (Read 841 times)

Where do you get all these wrong information from ?

Do they come up in your dreams about how unfair BTC is because you didn't invest when it was at 10$ / or being mad buying it at 20k$ ?
Or did you read them on some kind of anti-everything forum ?


Your statement is rubbish. You are completely delusional.

Pruned nodes are validating full nodes - by definition. They just discard the old blocks which they don't need anymore (because they already have verified them).

Please explain how they can be tricked. I love hearing fantasy stories. 

So is the btc religious stupidity dum dum,

FYI:
Btrash has the same energy failures and Centralization problems as btc, they only fixed the onchain transaction capacity, Nothing Else!
Thinking I support them makes you the moron.  



If you only accept payment in btc and only process payment in bitcoin and only pay out your bills in btc.
Then that is the only time running your own btc node wallet makes sense , no other.
And if that is the Case , Run a Full Node as the lite or pruned wallets are shit and can be tricked.

However if you have to make payments out to anyone else in fiat to cover electricity / or items of any sort to continue your business,
running a btc node is a fool's errant. As immediately converting to fiat is all that protects you from market fluctuations.

* Hobbyist are waiting for btc rises to make money , (Hobbyist don't have major operating expenses like a real business.)
* Business are making money selling a product or service and holding payment that goes down can cause bankruptcy, when they need to pay out to cover operating expenses.  

* If you take btc as payment for a product or service in most countries, you still have to pay normal income tax on it like you received fiat.
* So your tax bill will be in fiat no matter what you are thinking. *
* A Real Business Owner should know that. *

So add some details , exactly what type of business do you run that requires only btc as inflow and outflow with no fiat ever to pay an outside service or source.
So far no one but hobbyist have met that standard , which is why I answer you the way I did, if you are running a legitimate business and don't need fiat conversion,
it be interesting to know exactly what your business is?

FYI:
If you are a tax evader/criminal as one of your statement leans toward,
btc is an open ledger so easy to track you, you be better off with one of the anon coins such as monero or zcash.

I was whining about the truth of decentralization, the complication, the 3rd party, and he talk about fiat at the end. NO.

im not giving my money to the government or the fucking taliban.

*merchant who want to accept payment who process only fucking bitcoin needs a 3rd party?? WTF am a missing here.

There are several guides available online on how to accept payments (either via core or electrum).
Electrum probably is a bit easier.

If you don't explicitly want to have a validating full node (but still want to use it trustless and with being in full control over your funds), i'd choose electrum to accept payments.

The hate is real 

OP, don't listen to this moron. He is a known flamer on this forum, trying to speak the word of god btrash.




That's a retarded statement.

Full node means that you have full control over the funds and can verify everything yourself (how BTC is intended to be).
Using a 'service' to accept payments means you do NOT have control over your funds and that you are trusting a 3rd party to give you correct information.




Same as the rise from 1k to 20k within a year.. +1900% compared to -66%.
But hey.. everyone is free to decide it for himself.

Electrum's default gap limit is 20, I'm not sure what a sane maximum gap limit is though. If you can't see transactions until you've changed the gap limit to 200 you should review your application logic. While increasing the gap limit is a quick temporary fix there may be a deeper underlying issue with how your application works (eg. needless generation of new addresses that are then left empty).

The people that told you that , were idiots.
Their are btc religious fanatics with alot of stupid ideas.

A non-mining node makes little difference in the real scheme of things.

Pick a vendor that offers you that as a service and let them worry with the headaches of BTC IT Maintenance.

* The question for you to decide is do you want to run a node for free (for greedy miners)
or do you want your valuable time being spent directly on your business. *

Simple question to help you decide.  


FYI:
As a Business owner you really don't want to be holding btc as a policy ,
what you want to do is convert from business earnings directly to fiat as quickly as possible,
so that btc price fluctuations don't destroy your profits or your business.
* The drop of btc from $20000 to ~$6000 in less than a year should make that apparent to all. *

gap limit should be what? 100 maximum?

I cant see my latest transaction without changing it to 200

thank you, nbxplorer was from btcpayserver.
Im moving on to electrum daemon now.
will try also the payment-gateway later.

Pruning only reduce storage space used by only store x latest blocks, you still need to download (and verify) all blocks. That's why it took so long.


Only running full nodes is easy, but configure it for specific usage (such as payment services) is tricky.


Because you chose the hard way, there are some better alternatives which don't involve 3rd party such as :

• https://github.com/cryptoapi/Payment-Gateway

Hello guys,

Someone told me if im serious about my business I should run my full nodes.

But since 1 month ago, problem after problems arise, I cant seems to make it work.

First setting up full nodes. I use prune 5000, it took me 5 days to sync.

and then setting up wallet, After 3 days, painfully understanding bitcoin, the bip32 and bitcoin addresses, I understand that I need xpub to generate billions of addresses to receive payments. (3 days because clearly my bitcoin understanding solely from my friends are actually a fucked up, never ever listen to your friends, they dont know nothing, they only want to show how big their cock is)

and then after succeeding setting up deposit addresses, new problem arise, which is payment notification. I cant notify payments. using walletnotify (fuck you). using nbxplorer (also fuck you), blockchain.info api need to wait for application to approve (motherfucking fuck you), block.io needs to pay (fuck you), blockcyhper.com lure you in and ask you pay later (pedophile style fuck you)

I am wondering, why the fuck is this so complicated like fuck? thousands of people are using bitcoin to accept payments, how do they do that? are they all are only using 3rd party merchant to accept payments?

I read on the internet, all people say running your own nodes are better, run your own machine better, buy your own mining machine better, fuck your own wife better, fuck your cat better.

are all these people are only parroting what others said and never do it themselves?

What I want to do is fucking simple.

I want to receive payments and I want to send payouts.

why the fuck is this so fucking hards?
