Cost for Running a Node

To enable large-scale adoption of ''blockchain as a service'', it is necessary to minimize the cost and time of using it for general users. MVC enable Simple Payment Verification technology. User is allowed to use lightweight client to check if a transaction is on the MVC blockchain without having to download the entire blockchain data. Only miner and application platform have to download the relevant blockchain data.

Users are not necessary to run their own MVC full nodes. However we still recommend that users become one of the entities to increase the decentralization by running individual nodes, and provides greater robustness to the MVC network.

MVC nodes are servers that download real-time data from the blockchain network, analyze the data, and upload the processed data back into the network. Therefore, you must meet minimum hardware requirements to run these operations smoothly. A minimum 50Kbps Internet connection and 2BG of memory(RAM) are required, and make sure your ISP doesn't set low upload or download limits. In addition, MVC currently only supports the ubuntu20.04 system environment, other system environment support is under development.

Up until 12 Apr 2023, MVC has more than 20 + nodes running by MVC application platform, miner & community members. The number of node will increase gradually when more application platform, miner join MVC's ecology.

Instructions If you are interested to set up a MVC node, kindly please refer to

https://github.com/mvc-labs/mvc-mining-instruction to setup your node and start mining.

Instructions If you want to join MVCpool which do not require setting up a node, see this file:
