Hello, I ask for help regarding the setup of a bitcoin node. I heard that the number of nodes is dropping and I want to start my own. Since I don't have a computer on 24/7 I was thinking about setting it up on my router (asus rt-n16 running openwrt).

First is this router capable enough to run a node? The specs are: 480Mhz Broadcom CPU, 128MB RAM and an external 500GB hdd for the blockchain.

I have a 20/20 Mbit fiber connection which I think would suffice.

So where I really need help is with the software, if anyone did this already and was willing to share the experience it would save me some time. Is there an up to date port for openwrt available somewhere (my searching turned up older versions of bitcoin-qt for openwrt)?
