btc on the raspberry pi is very slow and laggy compared to a normal laptop. Only run lightweight wallets on the raspberry pi.

I think he said it's working fine on his pi2 and failing on windoze.

@rupy, I know nothing of windows, can't help you. But as you said, since this thread is about bitcoin on raspberry pi, maybe you should start a new thread.

it keeps crashing on mine tho :/, running latest raspbian

Right, I sholuld admit, I saw a post from gmaxwell in another thread talking about how bitcoin-core is probably not going to run well even on the pi2. This is above and beyond all the disk writes to your sandisk. I haven't tried it myself. Out of curiosity, though, what's the error you're getting on the crash?

I saw people running Bitcoin Core in Pi Ver. B with no issue but a hard drive have to be attached. The write speed of SD cards are very slow depending on your grade. You can easily attached it to a old hard disk with sufficient space though. You can try a few commands to reduce the load. The minimum requirement of Bitcoin Core should be around 1GB.

Alternatively, you can use a board which supports mSATA like the Banana Pi or Hummingboard, which enables you to plug in an mSATA SSD for more storage. SSDs are very cheap now compared to the earlier years.

I'm just adding tutorials on how to build stuff for the RPi here:

Here's BFGMiner for ASICMiner/BFL:

> sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libncurses-dev yasm curl libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config git libjansson-dev uthash-dev
> git clone git://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git bfgminer
> cd bfgminer
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure
> make

> ./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -O user:pass -S icarus:/dev/ttyUSB0

I'm going to try and run both my SC 60GH on one RPi, will be interesting to see if it works!

Sorry about the necro and bit offtopic, but my win7 machine suddenly can't mine with the Monarches any more, but my RPi 2 with this works fine!

100% dunno why, the win machine spouts:

Code:

[2015-06-11 19:34:43] BFL 0aa: Failed to send queue
[2015-06-11 19:34:43] BFL 0aa: Received unexpected queue result response: 
[2015-06-11 19:34:43] BFL 0aa: Error: Get temp returned empty string/timed out

i have tried and it (RPi 1 B(+)) works fine with 16 connections.

thank you for your comment.
i will try to run the RPi 1 bitcoin node with 16 connections.

hi there,

may be the following start script can someone help to start and run a bitcoind (0.10.x) on a RPi 1 Model B(+) (512MB RAM)

/usr/local/bin/bitcoind .... -maxconnections=10 ....

This is a very low value for connections.

The shortage on the network is mostly peers that accept incoming connections. If you run a peer, then you use up 8 of those slots.

With 10 connections, you only have 2 left for incoming connections.

A 16 connection limit means that you use up 8 slots but give back 8 slots. This means that you are helping as much as you are consuming.

24 connections would mean that you consume 8 and give back 16, so you are helping the system.

I don't think there is only 7.000 nodes, do you mean open nodes with port 8333 accessible?

I'm thinking about running a full node on Raspberry Pi with a web interface that looks like blockchain or Coinbase so that you could have a 'home server' that was secure and that supported the network. With so many thin clients running we're really losing a lot of Nodes.

I've started a project called 10,000 node project. www.10000nodes.com to do just that. PM if your interested in helping.

Are there updated instructions on how to run bitcoind on a Raspberry Pi? I'm trying to get the latest bitcoind working (0.86), and it requires different installation steps to what is in this thread.

I've fudged my way through, and now need to install Berkeley DB 4.8... unsure how to proceed.

Also, how do you store the blockchain on a different directory to the default?

Anyone tried bitcoind on a Raspberry Pi 2?

It should work as usual, the only issue its the ram once again, and I'm not sure if the compilation process takes in fact that its a quadcore processor now instead of a single core for b+.

The issue is that the master doesn't have the .unix file in src anymore.
So, download the 0.8.6.zip file.

> sudo apt-get install libboost1.50-dev libboost-filesystem1.50-dev libboost-system1.50-dev libboost-program-options1.50-dev libboost-thread1.50-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev
> wget https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/0.8.6.zip
> unzip 0.8.6.zip
> cd bitcoin-0.8.6/src
> make -f makefile.unix bitcoind
