72 sats \ 6 replies \ @HardMoney OP 11h \ parent \ on: New iPhone having 2TB of storage mean full nodes running on phones? bitcoin
Guy obviously doesn’t know a full node needs more than 1 TB
No idea on the other specs but I think I saw somewhere the phone is more powerful than a lot of different laptops or something
Is really stupid to have a full node on a mobile. And you don't really need and is not helpful in any way for the rest of the network. You are just a leecher not a seeder.
Let's stop this madness of running full bitcoin nodes on crappy devices and mobiles.
Nowadays you can run a LN node with neutrino or pruned blocks data, you really do not need the whole history of Bitcoin on a mobile.

It could make sense for people who don’t have 100% up time for power and internet

if you do not have power and internet, you will have many other priorities than bitcoin... and bitcoin is totally useless without those 2.

Maybe you live in a remote village and come to town every few days to get power and internet. Having a node on a phone makes perfect sense for these people

As I said: you do not need a full bitcoin for that.

Didn’t say it was a need
