RE: Umbrel Home Unboxing - Setting Up Bitcoin Core

in Proof of Brain2 months ago

Interesting. What are you going to do with it? How will you benefit from it? Is it worth a box like this for BTC Core? Is the Core just storing blocks from scratch? I don't know exactly what it is, so I'm asking.

Sort:  

The benefits are that you can secure the network and protect your privacy by validating your own transactions. It is also a great home server with lots of apps to use!

It's only for your transactions, then, so you're a miner in a way?

No, its just a noderunner. I can also validate other peoples transactions too.

And you don't get any reward for it?

No, it is mostly to secure the protocol.
