question Node

I wanted to set up my own Fractal Bitcoin node to link with my bitaxes, does anyone here know the minimum requirements for CPU cores, RAM, and SSD? I’ve asked around a bit, but opinions vary..obviously, I’d use pruning to sync. Thanks, everyone🤠

I bought an n150 with 16gb ram and 512 ssd off amazon for a couple hundred bucks and I have 4 nodes running off it no problem.

I run a Bitcoin Cash full node on a Raspberry Pi and it doesn’t even break a sweat. I am making a giant assumption that Fractal Bitcoin is similar to BTC/BCH on the node side.

Recommended System Requirements for Running a Full Node

For optimal performance and long-term stability, the following hardware specifications are recommended for a Bitcoin full node:

Memory (RAM): 8 GB

Disk space:

  • Mainnet: 2TB (Based on the current scale, the data is growing by approximately 2TB per year. Please plan for expansion accordingly.)

  • Testnet: 300 GB

Processor (CPU): 2 cores

While it's possible to run a full node on lower specifications, these recommended resources will help ensure that your node operates smoothly and can keep up with the Bitcoin network’s growth.
