LanaCoin full nodes are already present and operational in most of the world countries.

Current node presence can be verified on the official LanaCoin blockexplorer network/geo location tab.

LanaCoin nodes are currently present in Germany, Slovenia,Poland, USA, UK, Russia, Canada, Italy, Morocc, China, Korea, Netherlands, Romains, France, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia, Spain, Latvia, Norway, Bulgaria, Denmark and Greece.

What exactly is a LanaCoin full node?

Full node is a desktop computer/laptop/server/single board computer running a desktop or console lanacoin core client and with a full copy of the blockchain stored on its hard drive.

LanaCoin wallet communicates with other nodes/p2p clients over tcp communication port 7506. This enables new client wallet instalations to perform the initial sychronization of LanaCoin blockchain.

Estimated time for first sychronization at current blockheight and blockchain size is aprox 2hours on a stable internet connection.

At the time of writing Lanacoin blockchain size is little over 300MB in size. With more and more usage of the network the transaction pool will grow while LanaCoin blocks will become larger. (current blocksize limit for LanaCoin blocks is 4MB).
