Quadcore from 2008, 8 gigs of DDR2 ram, 1 TB 7200 rpm, 9 mb internet connection. If they raise the blocksize to 2mb i will probably give up on running a node because today I can deal with it but I cannot be bothered if I have to download twice the amount and store twice the amount. Let alone higher blocksizes.
Not everyone here is wealthy, some of us are modest working class guys. Its not in my plan to upgrade my computer, it does everything I need just fine.
I will also be dumping BTC when I cant run my own node, since if you cant run your own node then bitcoin is pointless (by the time I will have upgraded, but the moral of the story is, conservative blocksize is preferred so as much people as possible can run nodes).

The Peace Plus One – World Sustainability Project is interested in the opportunities afforded to young people in the new economy of Caring Currency. The currency of the 99%.
The concept of Caring Currency is to move from the selfish GREED IS GOOD model of the 1% to a more equitable, distributed wealth model based on the GOOD we individually do for Society, the Environment and the Economy.
bitcoin is one of the early contenders for alternative currency, and an excellent experiment in "alternative worlds" like the , where we ask visitors and new citizens to essentially stay where we are physically, and simply change our perspective to see the beauty and opportunity in the world.
The Be, Buy Boost bitcoin program is a complimentary program in the physical world… to develop the acceptance, adoption, infrastructure and economic ecosystem.. An Alternative Currencies development program to increase the adoption of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions.
The PPO-WSP believes this is a critical effort that must be ramped up immediately to avoid alternative currencies just becoming a speculative bubble like tulilps.
