Can you run a bitcoin full node on weak hardware?
Can you really operate a Bitcoin full node on hardware that's not particularly powerful? I've heard that running a full node requires significant computational resources, which might be too much for weaker systems. Is it feasible to still contribute to the Bitcoin network and verify transactions, even with less capable hardware? Wouldn't the process be too slow or inefficient? I'm curious to know if there are any workarounds or specific configurations that could make this possible.

Can I run a Bitcoin Core node on weak hardware?
Hello, I'm interested in exploring the possibility of running a Bitcoin Core node on some hardware that I consider relatively weak. My understanding is that Bitcoin Core requires significant computational resources to function effectively, but I'm curious if there are any workarounds or optimizations that can be done to make it feasible on a weaker system. Specifically, I'm wondering if it's possible to run a pruned node, adjust settings to reduce resource usage, or utilize any other techniques that might allow me to host a Bitcoin Core node on this hardware. Would you be able to provide some insight into whether this is practical and any potential challenges I might face? Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.
