android-termux-monero-node VS PiNodeXMR

Just wanted to share that there's a fairly full-featured Android+Termux script out there for anyone feeling adventurous: https://github.com/CryptoGrampy/android-termux-monero-node

I am curious if I were to use a Monero Node on an old Android phone for my wallet if their is anything in that setup that links to the phone. For reference, I am planning to use this guide, https://github.com/CryptoGrampy/android-termux-monero-node

If anyone isn't familiar, I (along with the amazing help of a few others), put a decent amount of work into the Monero Android Termux Node script-(https://github.com/CryptoGrampy/android-termux-monero-node)- a fairly simple one copy/paste line of code that installs a moderately difficult to use node on Android. Let's kick it up a notch.

Not only is Monero extremely well-engineered and well-optimised, but thanks to the efforts of the PiNode-XMR project you can trivially run a Monero node (pruned or full) on hardware as weak as a Raspberry Pi 3B+, a $35 device that was released in 2018. There's also an Android Termux Monero Node project that lets you run a node on any Android smartphone with an armv8 or newer processor, which stretches back to releases that are many years old. Yes, like-for-like Monero uses more space for a basic transaction than Bitcoin does, but that is a poor comparison. If every Bitcoin transaction used CoinJoin, then not only would it NOT hide the amount or the recipient address, but each transaction would take up significantly more size than Monero - ~2363 bytes vs. Monero's 1419 bytes.

Ah that’s almost certainly the problem. Delete all of the termux apps from play store and redownload from fdroid. The creator has all of the code and instructions in a repository now as well: https://github.com/CryptoGrampy/android-termux-monero-node

How do I get PiNodeXMR: It's FOSS software for single board computers, laptops and micro PC's https://pinode.co.uk/ https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/PiNode-XMR

Then for software either: 1) Install the Monero GUI as you have been. 2) Follow one of Seths guides: https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/ 3) Monero-bash Is a bash script you can run that installs things for you. 4) In my very biased opinion (The project I manage) you could run PiNodeXMR, which would turn that little device into the dedicated node and also run P2Pool for your mining and sets up loads of stuff to make your node easy to connect to from your mobile wallet on the move either with tor, I2P or clearnet if you want it simple. https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/PiNode-XMR https://pinode.co.uk/

XMR can run on a pi too: https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/PiNode-XMR
