Oddbean new post about login | logout This can’t be real, is it? A #bitcoin node for Android phones…? #asknostr https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lndroid.bitcoincore
Probably not! Otherwise, your smartphone would melt like butter.
Download size aside it seems questionable
Seems dangerous imo
That’s how I feel
Another project but check this https://bitcoincore.app/
This was actually the project I was looking for when I found the one I posted lol
Fuck that why would you want to do it anyway? Run Zeus or Mutiny
lol, I wouldn’t — simply surprised/curious if it was possible
It is for real. I have run Bitcoin node first time years ago, pruned of course and I believe that it was this same project or some fork of it. It just takes a lot of time to sync. https://github.com/lndroid/BitcoinCoreAndroid
Very interesting. Does it prune along the way during the initial download, or do you need external storage at first? Because a full node would need both continuous external usb-c storage and continual charging lol
Pruning in #Bitcoin works so that when you setup the size you want your chain to be, let's say for example 5GB. Then it won't use more than ~5GB and constantly deletes oldest blocks when syncing so you won't need any external storage.
Okay sweet. Kind of thought so otherwise would defeat the purpose a bit lol. Thank you!
