Re: [Bitcoin-development] Running a full node
Dear all, +1 ! Thanks to those who sent me some details and links. My node is up and running on 5.56.40.1:8333 Techno : Linux HA + dual homed Internet transit. It should be stable as from now.

Hi Francis, Here are some rough guidelines for you, based on the statistics from my node: disk usage: about 30GB currently for the blockchain data. It'll only keep growing from here, but relatively slowly. cpu usage: pretty much nothing, after you have synced the blockchain. ram usage: after it runs for a few months, my node gets up to using 1.5 GB of ram or so. bandwidth usage: my node averages about 500GB of traffic per month, most of it outgoing. Hope that gives you a rough idea of what you can expect for running full node.
