Oh and as for the VPS, I did do that once and ran out of disk which is why I went to the home node idea where all I have to do is add disk to the laptop.

Yes, you need sufficient disk space. It's not too expensive these days. But of course, it's cheaper to use disk space you already have at home.

Also, your home-ip will be registered many places as a bitcoin-node ip, you might like that, or you might not like that. Some people do not like that, so they use a VPS instead.

Ya I don't mind my IP being known because even if I didn't run a home node. If someone wanted to fuck with me via IP it's easily enough found if your determined.

But ya, I got a static though my ISP for $5 a month.

Still curious about the flag thing in my last reply if anyone knows of anything. Even if it's not a "deny seeding" flag for the 0.10.0 client.

Sorry, don't know about any config flag more than you. Did you check the docs?

As for having your ip publicly known as a bitcoin node ip, the problem might be that somebody might funnel a rogue transaction through it, and you'd be on the receiving end of govt thugs trying to find the culprit. This has already happened before. The chance is most likely miniscule for it to happen, but it's worth knowing about. Also, I'm not sure if this is implemented already, but certainly in the future, all bitcoin node ip's will be monitored, and perhaps you get an IRS-letter demanding you to declare your "bitcoin stash". This might depend on where you live as well. As the ip is linked directly to your isp-account it's straightforward to find your identity, provided you do use your real identity. I might be splitting hairs here, but I'm just saying..

It is great you want to support the network!
