Running a Bitcoin Node allows you to independently verify incoming transactions, enhance your privacy, and run Bitcoin applications (like 3rd party wallets) that reference your node. You can run a node for free with nothing more than your home computer by downloading Bitcoin Core - which hosts a copy of the Bitcoin blockchain as well as the rules that govern the network.

I am biased but I think everyone should run their own full node. It helps the network and it provides you with even more security and personal verification. The cost is minimal.

I agree! But, it brings to mind something even more important. Freedom, privacy, security, wreaking the sociopathic run centralized economic system. Just for starters of course there's the whole making the world a better place. If you're into that kind of thing... I'm just sayin..

Only Dr Adam Satoshi Nakamoto Back could have come up with this sh*t, but you are talking to the 0.01% of the human population who are obsessive, compulsive, semi-autistic computer nerds and tech geeks. Mr General Public is never going to use and adopt this, unless it is made far, far, far simpler and more user friendly.

can you switch from downloading the whole of the transactions at first then to pruning later? i ask because i think it would be cool to save the first 500gb or something of it all (as a souvenir), but obviously dont plan to save the entirety of the network to infinity and beyond.
