Advice for Setting Up A Bitcoin Full Node

https://ift.tt/nZOwdbm


Hello Everyone.

I am in the process of setting up a Bitcoin full node and wish to

ask the Bitcoin community for advice on maintaining one.

I have chosen an HP Elitebook as my base computer,

Intel Core i5 for hardware-level AES encryption,

4 GB DDR3 RAM

10 TB External Hard Drive

ArchLinux Operating System

Just to let all of you know, I chose to make a Bitcoin Full Node

for the privacy benefits, including Information-Theoretic Privacy

as explained by [bitcoin.org](https://bitcoin.org): [https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/features/privacy](https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/features/privacy)

and since running a Bitcoin full node will make me resistant

to the most well-known payment frauds with the exception

of a chain-rewrite attack: [https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/features/validation](https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/features/validation)

For Bitcoin users that have much more experience, what

constructive criticisms do you have behind the rationale

of why I am running a full node, how to maintain

a solid Bitcoin full node, and how to best protect your

privacy when spending and receiving Bitcoin using a

Bitcoin full node using the official Bitcoin Core software?
