Become one of the 10% of node operators that receive incoming connections.
Installing bitcoin core is easy, and with pruning it really isn't the space sink it is characterized as. Even a modest computer can complete the initial block download (IBD) and become a full node. But what some users (90%) find a bit more challenging, is how to become a listening node. Listening nodes are an important part of the network, and are simple enough to enable. I can think of 4 ways to do it:
8333 and 18333.I'll discuss #4. Obviously #1 or #2 are easier, but require a VPN subscription or uPnP enabled HW. And if you live in a dorm or don't control the network, Tor may be the only free option available.
As a bit of background, bitcoin supports three networks that your node can listen on:
Obviously, the more you enable, the better, but here are the basic steps for Tor in broad strokes. If you have any questions post them here and I'll see if we can't help you out:
tor.exetor.exe --service installcd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\tortorrc with the contents suggested belowtor.exe --service stop && tor.exe --service starttype .\HiddenService\hostname as <hostname>bitcoin.conf options suggested belowbitnodes crawler at https://bitnodes.io/nodes/<hostname>-8333/It may take a while for your node to show up on bitnodes. I've found the check button sometimes has trouble with onions. Of course you don't need to do it, but it can provide a simple way to check status once your on the list.
```
Log notice file <Service-Dir>\tor\service.log
HiddenServiceDir <Service-Dir>\tor\HiddenService HiddenServiceVersion 2 HiddenServicePort 8333 127.0.0.1:8333 HiddenServicePort 18333 127.0.0.1:18333 ```
```
onion=127.0.0.1:9050 listen=1 externalip=<hostname> discover=1 ```

Hey guys
I have a Pakistani Bank account with PAK rupees. Crypto is banned here and the availability of the USD, CAD and all is very little to none.
Are there any online TRUSTABLE websites to which I can buy BCH or BTC with good rate and from using Pakistani rupees and a PAK debit card or bank account? (No Conversion of currency available)
Something like easypesa or HBL
Thanks to everyone that helps!

I wanted to take a little "survey", let's call it that.What do you guys think what is Bitcoin's biggest advantage and biggest disadvantage?
To limit the number of inputs and opinions per one person, I'd like everyone to name only 1 Pro and only 1 Con.
At the end of each week I will update the topic with total results from everyone so we can see what drives Bitcoin users.
Remember: name 1 Pro and 1 Con about Bitcoin
Hi, I managed to lose a computer that I stored a wallet with a small amount of bitcoin in late 2016. I still possess my seed phrase but have struggled to remember what wallet platform I used in the first place. Could you guys list some of the most popular wallets that utilised 12 worded seed phrases between 2016 - 2017 , thanks in advanced :)
