  Setting up and running a Bitcoin node requires specific hardware specifications. While the minimum requirements include a computer with 2GB of RAM and a dual-core processor, it is highly recommended to have a more powerful setup for optimal performance. A computer with 8GB of RAM or more and a quad-core processor will ensure smoother synchronization with the Bitcoin network and faster transaction processing. Additionally, a stable and high-speed internet connection is crucial to maintain a reliable connection with other nodes. It is also important to have enough storage space to accommodate the growing size of the blockchain. Make sure your computer has a reliable power supply and is running on a compatible operating system, such as Windows, macOS, or Linux.
