doesn't nxt already run on Rpi?Huh

so the advantage here is, distribution by serial number?

I'm in, but only if it works with the first gen 256mb Raspberry Pi.

Many people have the 256mb version and it will be such a shame if you cut them out. Please either make the 256mb version be enough or make a cut down version for the 256mb.

Thanks.

Is there a way starting the Rpi with the img and without a monitor?
Is it possible to set the logininformations?
It is not practical that you have to plug-in a monitor if you want to participate in the network.

"Buy a pre-built SD card, PLUG IT IN to your Raspberry Pi, TURN IT ON, enter your passphrase... DONE"

can you explain this.

buy from you?

I read Initial distribution by registering the UNIQUE Raspberry Pi serial number to a UNIQUE Bitcointalk user (via prepared custom Pi IMG, delivered February 14th)

so this mean we need to img this to the existing SD or to USB?

(Im not familair with Rpi, and assume you could boot an rus os from usb as well)

or do you mean some standard os that comes with the RPi?

I don't see how this works, as in you are providing a pregonfiged os???

If I choose to img, what size sd do I need?

can i get a larger sd than 8gb, is there any point?

do you envisage the rpi will have enough horse power spare to run pinx in the background?

Excellent!

"Proof of Raspberry-Pi-Deployment", as previously outlined on page 2 of my "NXT: A Cybernetics Approach" research paper late last year - https://mega.co.nz/#!yYwD2ArL!aaalNHwQ_RveCKM4Z1x9w0hRI4U6y6119PxQg2-RRNA.

I feel like Nostradamus!

Keep up the good work!

Al

Did I say interested yet  Smiley

Lol, yep!

Great. Interested  Smiley

Brownie points for being double-interested.  Stake stays the same Smiley



Now, a brief status update:

  • Interesteds aren't necessary anymore.  Enough interest has been shown.  I am active in development (will edit OP)
    • I expect to have an easy-to-use setup and configuration tool ready by end of the week



  • GitHub repositories have been initialized at https://github.com/PiNX-Community.  Again, nothing of consequence is in place
    • Everything will live in the GitHub repository with permissive licenses.
      • pinx-src  - where source code will live
      • PiNX-Community.github.io - website served from here
      • main - Home for Wiki

  • Licenses have been selected
    • MIT for source code
    • Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International for website and wiki
      • Can somebody knowledgeable of licensing reply if this is appropriate?

An FYI: The PiNX java client will be one of the last pieces of software to be finished.  Nxt source is scheduled for release in April, and it will be extremely tricky (if not impossible) to create a valid clone before then.  PiNX will exist as a pure fork of Nxt, so we will use the Nxt java client until then.

Marketing angle: A digital currency for Makers, by Makers.

Registration window: May be extended to allow outreach to the Maker community.

Framework is in place for community collaboration.  I'm not seeking help just yet but if you have any ideas, jump right in!


It seems a nice start.

  • NO SOFTWARE TO SETUP
    • Buy a pre-built SD card, PLUG IT IN to your Raspberry Pi, TURN IT ON, enter your passphrase... DONE
    • Or, you can flash your own using the official IMG file
    • Or, if you’re the REALLY nerdy type (like me), all source code and instructions will be available so you can build your own IMG from scratch.


I'm getting ready now! My pi has arrived and I have played with it. 

I understand that what I need do is just waiting. When the official img is released, I just need download and copy it to the sd card. Am I right?

you know you are limiting yourself to rpi users only right? this will make your network very small....

Understood...  network size does not necessarily equate value.  What gives a currency true value is the ability to exchange it for goods or services.  

Many cyptocurrencies are valued only through speculation and marketing, if not downright manipulation.  Some will become rich, others poor -- the 'pump-and-dump' we see all too often on these boards.

PiNX does not strive to become such a currency.

I believe PiNX has the potential to have more real-world value than many cryptocurrencies today.  The Raspberry Pi community is larger, more committed, and more supportive than you may think.  Early outreach into these DIY communities will be crucial to the success of this project.

Tipping will be important.  See a fellow hobbyist with an informative blog, or project idea you like?  Throw him a few yummies!  Let him know you appreciate the work!

There are no illusions of grandeur here.  The day I can go to a small website and purchase a digital LED board for my Raspberry Pi using PiNX is the day that I consider this project a success.

As I am not too confident in my skills, will it be possible to simply DL data, copy it on a SD card, plug it in a RasPi, plug power & ethernet cable = everything working?

Hope to have easy-to-follow instructions for all commands.  Must be able to login to set some things up (so, you will need keyboard and monitory as well).

Also will there be a time window for the original distribution?
I have no Raspi for now, and doubt I will have one in my hand in 2 weeks.
Maybe a month?

I'm looking at that.  Want to get many people involved.

Some precision to not miss the 1st early adopter window would be great.
