i believe he runs a node using amazon server and wants to cry about the cost of bandwidth (amazon subscription costs) but has no clue about computer costs, stats, utility.
Which is absolute nonsense and something which you could not possibly know.

21:04 Lauda phantomcircuit 12 days..?
21:17 Lauda That seems like quite long.
21:17 Rebroad Lauda, anyway, 12 days is not a long time for someone wanting to run a full-node... I mean, what's the rush?!
21:17 Lauda That's almost half a month.. it is long to set up one.
21:17 Rebroad Lauda, yes, but why the rush?
21:18 belcher time is money
21:18 Lauda Exactly.21:18 Rebroad belcher, running a full node doesn't make money
21:18 belcher Rebroad if you're using bitcoin instead of some other currency, presumably its valuable to you
21:18 Lauda You lose money waiting.21:18 belcher it doesnt make you "money" per se but theres still economic value in it
21:18 Rebroad Lauda, how would you lose money?
21:18 Lauda If you're paying for a VPS
21:19 Lauda 12 days of lost money.21:19 Rebroad Lauda, if you're running a full node, it'll cost you the same to run it no matter how long it takes to download the blockchain
21:19 Lauda Imagine compiling code that takes 12 days instead of 1?
21:19 Lauda No time lost?
21:20 Rebroad Lauda, belcher, I don't think you understand what motivates people to run full-nodes
21:20 Lauda ...
21:20 Lauda you're weird.
21:20 Rebroad Lauda, you've still now answered my question. Rush to do what?
21:20 Lauda Time is valuable, time should not be wasted unless necessary.
21:21 Rebroad Lauda, you could argue that running a full-node IS a waste of time... it's either a waste of time to run it, or it isn't... but running it involves downoading the blockchain.. it's part and parcel of running a full-node
21:22 Lauda I wouldn't bother setting up a node that takes 12 days to set up.
21:22 Lauda No way.21:23 Lauda Imagine a situation where user has no full node, they need it for reason X to use Y
21:23 Lauda so wait 12 days before using it?
he tries hard to sound like an expert who cough gets paid to consult cough. yet loves penny grabbing his sig campaign schemes and charging people for things they can do themselves.
If anyone is an expert here, it ain't you, nor the duo of j-degenerates.
lauda, go spend more time reading reference material and less time on reddit propoganda scripts.
its proven time and time again that you failed the basics..
even now you cant explain the tier network, upstream filters, and why segwit keypair utility is not possible to test on mainnet now, even when everything is supposedly (in your eyes) backward compatible..
anyway. getting back on point of the topic:
as for the graphic of statistics lauda has pasted several times.. does he even know maths to actually check before pasting
blocks 0.5mb.....graphic shows 6.2gb daily traffic.............. (facepalm)
..........
hint: there are only 144 blocks a day you dont even need a calculator to do the maths (hint: number in graphic is out by 86 multiples)
