  Just wondering, why do you run a monero node?

    How else are you going to bring up Monero in discussions about computer hardware?

    You should ideally run your own node when using Monero

        When running a local node, the most other people could possibly see is that “x IP is running a Monero node”

        When connecting to a remote node, the node can see:

        • Your IP address
        • When you submit a transaction (which could link your IP to your transactions)
        • The last block your wallet synced (which could be used to determine when you usually use/spent monero last)

        It’s also possible for a remote node to feed your wallet a manipulated list of decoys, which can reduce the anonymity of the transaction you submit by allowing the remote node to simply remove the fake decoys to find which isn’t the decoy (you.)

        Because with someone else’s node, they can potentially track and log the transactions you make

    For my wallets

    That’s the default setting when setting up a local wallet.

  This is how I know I’m getting old, my first thought was “spinning rust for always on long term storage” and then I remembered it’s 2025 and SSD’s are about equal now.

  Get off my lawn, your interrupting Matlock!

    Still cheaper though. 4TB you are looking at around 3x the price for it in SSD storage. Although I wonder how the power use compares, might be worth factoring in but probably isn’t too massive over it’s realistic lifespan

      Oh yeah, I run spinning rust in my nas. All data storage for me is on HDDs, only OS date is on the SSD. That’s for the nas and my computer.

        My main data usage is game installs and pretty unimportant temporary stuff so it doesn’t need backup fortunately. Game saves do of course but a simple bash script and the file size for that is tiny in comparison.
