How to Run a Monero Node — Full Setup Guide (2026)

Your own node = maximum privacy. No more leaking transaction data to third-party remote nodes.

What's covered:
- Hardware requirements (full vs pruned vs Raspberry Pi)
- Step-by-step monerod setup (Linux/macOS/Windows)
- Tor integration (hide from your ISP)
- systemd service (24/7 uptime)
- Why it matters for P2P trading (Haveno runs an embedded node)

180 GB full, 60 GB pruned. SSD strongly recommended.
