I don't understand how people don't have a good or decent gaming computer if they are playing Steam games.
The data that I've posted is based off of Steam hardware in 2015.
So in reality, it would only cost a few hundred dollars to build a computer(buying a case/power supply/processor/ram/motherboard/HDD) that can handle current blocks and have enough power for larger blocks later.
Which is absolute nonsense. I have no idea why you are trying to push your, clearly uneducated, opinion on the matter? Do you really expect me to run a node, on the same machine that I'd play games on? Do you want the entry for nodes to be >$1000 worth of hardware? If you do, then you may as well start building Paypal 2.0.
Hello Lauda, I agree with what you are saying. I have stated I was asking a stupid question because I am uneducated on BTC currently as I have not kept up with it for years. I never claimed to know too much as I have stated multiple times in the thread. Yes, I am not fully versed in the technical side of everything as I had admited.
I don't expect anyone to do anything. All I am saying is a gaming rig can run the minimum current requirements and many times over. If you have more than 16GB of ram and a decent internet connection and HDD space you can run a node while you game and it shouldn't affect your game.
My thought is that there are already tens of millions of people who have the hardware that can run nodes and it should be utlized, as I see the data that says only 5,000 nodes are running or so. Even if big blocks don't happen you should still run a node. I don't care if big blocks happen. I don't care about the politics of BTC.
