All Hands on Deck: Run Monero Nodes
You don't want to be wacked off to only run Monero nodes over VPN or TOR, but it is our fallback.
They couldn't stop torrents. They couldn't stop MP3's.
They won't stop Monero, unless the people bend the knee. You bend the knee when you don't have the cajones to run a Monero node.
Who's ready to risk a little for freedom?
Risk? I dont think its dangerous to run a monero node. It just requires more gigabytes than I have.
What are the exact benefits of running nodes for the network? I have several spare servers I would run 5 of them. I do run 1 already. If that matters I could run many of them via Docker
It makes the network more decentralized and keeps ya safe from node poisoning and other attack vectors
Also, running it with Tor makes it unstoppable, so run your node over Tor!
Communists always proclaim ridiculous dictates in hopes sheep will just comply because they know enforcement is impossible.
I'm gonna start a monero node once if I have enough time and resources. I don't think that's illegal or anything.
Even if it was you should still run one, because it is the right thing to do.
Advantages:
local[Edit: I mean remote] nodes to use XMR; for you, more privacy in a way & more safetyDisadvantages:
Running just a node itself wouldnt take much electricity. Now mining... Different story
Right. If your computer is powered on anyway, running a node itself is not a big deal as far as electricity is concerned.
@[email protected] When someone is posting a link to Twitter (X), it’ll be nice if they copy-paste the tweet itself too, so that everyone can safely read it.
yes we should have a nitter bot, like the piped bot.
here it is a pleasure to strip the data out of the API for you: https://nitter.net/sethforprivacy/status/1715370818195140720
Thanks :) It’s great that nitter.net stopped blocking Tor again! I happened to notice that a while ago too, via c/monerochan https://monero.town/post/901193 - ideally privacy advocates should stop using Twitter itself though…
The most centralized part of the Monero network may be mining (i.e. potential weakness, as a centralized pool is an easy target for “them” to shut down), without which the network wouldn’t work. Ideally, if possible, users may want to consider running p2pool too, not just a full node. Like monerod, p2pool can be a background task, not using full cores, so one can still use their computer like normally, even if it’s not a dedicated box for mining.
What are the risks of running a monero node?
Running out of space on the drive you are using for it, lol
That's the only reason I don't run a node yet.. No storage available.
Use the prune option, its is only 65GB, it is worth the sacrifice to have freedom money.
It's Tor not TOR...
