Are we really at the point technologically where we could run a full node on a phone??https://www.coindesk.com/htc-says-its-next-smartphone-will-run-a-full-bitcoin-node

@mydogisahusky storage is the main issue, isn't it? Until we have 500 gig storage space on phones...

@sgtbobbyshaftoe The guys in the article say it is doable.

@mydogisahusky still, I'm not sure if I would want that.

@flexbit @sgtbobbyshaftoe Yup - we will see various attempts. Interesting times ahead. I'm an old tech guy and still only own a flip phone circa 2010.Lightning Network will eventually push me over the edge.

@sgtbobbyshaftoe @mydogisahusky You can run a node with much less storage capacity than that, using pruning mode you can get it down to 10's of GBs instead.

@htimsxela @sgtbobbyshaftoe Yup - I'm aware. They are claiming full node, unpruned. In the phone.

@sgtbobbyshaftoe @mydogisahusky no, the main issue is power, since running a full node on a phone will drain your battery very fast... the second issue is bandwidth, which is less stable than on a home connexion and most of the time metered. Then eventually there's cpu power. Storage is the less of concern here
