Okay, I have to ask: what's the hash rate on a Raspberry Pi if you set generate coins to true?

Just remembered: If you worry about debug.log write cycles, run with -printtoconsole.
Thanks for the tip. But there are so many services that log to files on the sd card. I don't think that whether or not bitcoin logs in one as well makes any difference...

That's pretty much what I did too. Still not sure what happened.
As the article mentions the band-with limitation (in their example) of the VPS..., one thing I wanted to try out was the trickle command, but haven't gotten around to it. You can limit up-/ download speeds with it. So, knowing your VPS is limited to 400 GB, you calculate your speed to transfer that amount of data in a month and set your trickle values accordingly.
Since you are interested in nodes... Have you looked at other implementations such as BTCD or libbitcoin?

I followed this guide to compile:
http://bitcoin-austria.at/artikel/full-bitcoind-node-debian-7-server
It is in German, but the commands are universal
Important thing to do is to increase the Swapfile-size to 500 MB before compiling like in this guide: http://blog.macoymejia.com/2014/01/27/compiling-bitcoind-on-raspberry-pi/

I bought the ODROID. I will keep you postet when it arrives.
0.9.1 compiled fine btw. Just get it with git, run the scripts and compile. The issue with the missing file has been fixed I guess.
Cheers

Oh, yes, please keep me posted on the Odroid! It looks like it will be the end of any storage capacity woes.
I only tried a few days ago and had no joy via git either. If I recall correctly it was an libboost related error. I'll try again one day. Unfortunately the RPi is now tied up doing something else

You got it compiled? I ended up using 0.8.6 because I couldn't compile (missing makefile.unix) and I also had no joy via github.
Anyway, some other things I did:
Make some room:
Removed unused locales:
Installed some:

And lastly I used rsync to copy over the block data via ssh. Or you could use the bootstrap torrent (search the forum) and copy that over.
I have no issues with memory. Free memory is always low (~15 MB), but it doesn't crash.

Hey guys. As the other threat seems to be dead I start a new one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4850024
Did anyone successfully set up a STABLE full node on a raspberrypi?
I compiled it using a couple of flags: --disable-wallet --with-cli --without-gui in hope to save on memory. Any other recommendations?
Thanks
Levin
