TheCrawler Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi all, i'm new to Ripple. I'm going to add XRP support to my project, I need to send/receive transactions and access transaction history. I don't want to trust ANY validator so as I understand I have to run rippled with full blockchain with all transactions, it is possible? How much disk space should I take for a full validator node? 2TB SSD? 4TB SSD? more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukrim Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 You must trust some validators, because they determine which chain you track (e.g. testnet or mainnet). Full transaction history is about 4 TB at the moment, which needs to be on SSDs and most of it is typically stored in a single file (so you also need to look into disk pooling solutions). Downloading the data alone will take quite long though, because there is only a handful of server in the network that serve historic data. Until you have all data you'll likely need a few GB or TB more storage. You'll also need a relatively fast internet connection, in case you want to do this on premise instead of from a data center. About 20 Mbit/sec upstream and downstream constantly, depending on how many peers you connect to, more if you are still syncing historic data.
