Do I run a node? Lets see...
$ bitcoin-cli gettxoutsetinfo none { "height": 747925, "bestblock": "0000000000000000000263a8a4e5ee368ca4d8777bc775fe28005e2bb7d76233", "txouts": 83489695, "bogosize": 6229424951, "total_amount": 19111823.42733338, "transactions": 49711852, "disk_size": 5105982981 }$ lncli getinfo { "version": "0.14.2-beta commit=v0.14.2-beta", "commit_hash": "1e511be523eb8e97c4e2d9c89a7a263963a3929f", "identity_pubkey": "[REDACTED]", "alias": "[REDACTED]", "color": [REDACTED]", "num_pending_channels": 0, "num_active_channels": [REDACTED], "num_inactive_channels": 0, "num_peers": [REDACTED], "block_height": 747925, "block_hash": "0000000000000000000263a8a4e5ee368ca4d8777bc775fe28005e2bb7d76233", "best_header_timestamp": "1659610444", "synced_to_chain": true, "synced_to_graph": true, "testnet": false, "chains": [ { "chain": "bitcoin", "network": "mainnet" } ],1 cleanet node (full with LN)
1 tor nor node (full with LN)
Also be sure to have a backup node offline for any emergency and backup bitcoin time chain
What is this?
A backup of the bitcoin time chain
three
3 FULL NODES
2 LN
Why though? One is enough...
core lightning
rust lightning
each on a rasp pi setup
and a bitcoin core node on a dedicated computer.
because im crazy
Does running Breez count? That’s a LnD node, right 😇?
Indeed, Breez is a LN node. Few bitcoiners know that you can run a private node on your mobile too.

No, but have plans to before end of year
Reminder that this poll will likely have a self-selection bias from people who run nodes.

Guys I'm doing this on an old laptop and the sync'ing is very slow. I've upped db cache to the max value allowed on 64 bit processors. So it's not so much that I run a node. I sync a node. For at least two weeks now. Any advice welcome.
Sync is pretty slow on HDDs
full node w/o lightning
opps ment to put w/ node
What and which are "light nodes"?
My fat finger slipped, and pressed the wrong one.
Noooooo it's immutable....
Oh the horror.
I would pay 1000 sats to change my vote rn.
Quite confusing options.
Define full node and light node.
You can have several combinations today, full/light/neutrino/spv/mobile/desktop/browser and combinations of them.
Is just a matter of knowledge and testing.
Maybe :)
Yes 1 full node with LN
Oh wow, 30%? And that on an enthusiast plattform like SN? Really shows you how early we still are.
