Hi there!

I’m new on the forum and I’m trying to get practice with Algorand.

I own a mobile wallet on Android and I would like to know if is there any possibility to turn it into a full partecipation node, since a would like not to transfer my current stack to another wallet. For example: may I use my mobile wallet address to run a full node on Ubuntu in any way? Or is it necessary to create a new address?

Regards,
