"Am I a node now?" with reference to incoming traffic ON or OFF: @ACBbits @ranochigo Thank you for your clarifications. To paraphrase, you say that: a. A Full Node is a Full Node even when incoming traffic is ZERO, b.…

There is debate as to whether you are or are not a Full Node if you are not receiving incoming traffic. In my view, you are not an optimized Full Node if your incoming traffic is zero. But what I don't understand is…

What is the approximate range of data, minimum to maximum, as a function of dbcache in RAM? Yes, I stand corrected, the dbcache resides in volatile memory, but when a block is written, it resides in non-volatile memory.…

1. Any idea why "minus one (core)" when script threads are automatically assigned? Perhaps it's just being conservative to not impinge on other user functions? 2. I am building a Full Node glossary, which I'll transfer…

Confirmed. I am talking about dbcache which I see has a GUI config. I set it for 8 GB, probably overkill, but I have lots of RAM headroom, so "no harm, no foul." Thanks for the reminder that my Core is out of date. As…

Thanks to your help, I'm better off than I thought, and I can now do my upgrade. Thanks again for sticking with me until I reached a solution.

Or maybe it means that I'm verified and good to go??

Thanks for the work you put in for such discrete details. Sorry if I have should have edited some of your lengthy quoted material above. I had some success with your directions and some problems. I'll write the steps…

I scrolled down about 20 pages through this tutorial regarding creating a Key Pair. I think this tutorial is way overkill for my needs. Permit me to "cut to the chase" on some basics to confirm that I'm in the ballpark:…

I’m having a tough time finding clear info on this subject that addresses my situation. I’m in the process of upgrading Core from version 22.0 to 27.1. I've confirmed SHA256SUMS: the hash for win.exe matches the program…

I think it might be possible at some point in the future, but might might take over two decades for Bitcoin to reach that value, based on the value of Bitcoin doubling after every halving and assuming that is…
