Oddbean new post about login | logout Finally got a full BTC node running that stores the blockchain in a larger drive! https://image.nostr.build/f63d34bfc9b4bc970e2efad319e40c5e663079d1f814e7e5b427f10f17be7ed6.png Looking back, it's not that complicated, but I learned a lot about Linux in the process and didn't blow anything up. Thanks for being a great community, NOSTR! Now, just waiting for the blockchain to download and digging into running Core Lightning. #NodeRunner #BTC #Linux
Excellent! If you can stomach the terminal in Linux, bitcoind is vastly better than bitcoinqt, as you get to visualise what's happening real time, not just a progress bar. Tips on settings: -dbcache:4096 (if you can spare 4Gb of RAM until you sync your ledger). Vastly faster. And for faster searches when you get to use your node with your wallet(Sparrow, etc). -blockfilterindex=1 -txindex=1
