<p>How much memory (RAM) does a Bitcoin node use?</p>

<p>I am planning on running a Bitcoin full-node on a RasPi Model A+. It only has 256MB of RAM, so I'm not sure if this will work. Most of the threads on here and bitcointalk are very old, and I'm not sure if the memory requirements are greater now.</p>

How much memory (RAM) does a Bitcoin node use?

I am planning on running a Bitcoin full-node on a RasPi Model A+. It only has 256MB of RAM, so I'm not sure if this will work. Most of the threads on here and bitcointalk are very old, and I'm not sure if the memory requirements are greater now.
