Are there any plans this year to release a precompiled Rpi wallet QT?
most use rpi with headless wallet
there a compile guide is on github
I know the guide i have tried to follow a few times now. I couldnt get Dmd wallet running on my pi. Nor could i get it compiled.
What about noobs that need gui?
I am a bit gutted as i bought that Pi especially for DMD, but cant do everything with Cli
For now i have put another staking coin with a precompiled wallet QT for Pi. Using Full Gui Raspbian, was very easy to do, but not really ideal. hoping for a DMD QT for Pi
As more people discovery Dmd i think the need for an easy staking setup on low cost energy, device is a must.
For now my Diamonds still on laptop.
i think raspi have with just 1 GB ram a bad design for run gui wallets
for headless its ok
there are windows based low power mini pc too for people who want gui and known windows luxury and low power useage
example:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B074V7M1JDsome of this devices are below 200$ including the windows licence
in my opinion linux is still a expert system where people who cant compile a own wallet should not use it
i myself use windows for all gui wallets and vps with ubuntu 16.04 for headless wallets (remote masternodes)
I have to disagree, I am running multiple QT wallets on RasPi 3s without problems (though I use one Pi per wallet), but to be fair the DMD wallet I run headless and it runs perfectly fine on a RasPi Zero W, which costs about $15, totally insane...
@madmack1, what kind of problems do you run into when compiling DMD on the RasPi? And don't be afraid of the headless wallet, if you only want it for staking, you only really need 2 or 3 commands once it is compiled, it's really easy. As cryptonit mentioned, there is a guide for compiling on github, but I also wrote a more detailed guide for a different coin, this should be pretty much exactly the same for DMD, feel free to check it out (obviously replace PHR with DMD, but the rest should be the same):
https://steemit.com/phore/@noxx/6djfe-compiling-the-phore-wallet-on-raspberry-piI must've posted the RaspPI info 3-4 times now.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.27132527The IO on ANY Pi simply isn't robust enough for a complex build like a Qt application.
It is, and has been for some time - advised to use Ubuntu 16.10 or Debian 9 to build crypto wallets for the Pi.
Even if you set-up swap space, use single threaded build options ( -j 1); you will likely still have inconsistent results.
Not to mention it will take 100x longer to build.
The last time I tried, the Qt build failed for ARM (Raspberry Pi) for DMD.
Pre-built binaries for the command-line wallet are available in the link above.
