Re: Running a full node is starting to be a pain

Start the client with the option "-bind=127.0.0.1". You can connect to another people for download but another people cannot connect and download from you.

If everyone did that the entire network would shudder to a halt. This is not good advice.

Exactly.

Depends on finally usage. If you up a node for support the network maybe you don't need this, but if you need to give a BTC services and want to hide the client this is a good way.
