Topic: How i make full node on latest rasberry or C.H.I.P? (Read 5808 times)

The lottery is totally random. There is a slight chance that a node can get it but the chance is very low. Currently, there is 174 eligible node. If you were to run a node now, you would be having a slightly more than 0.5% chance of getting the $10. This is not a good way to earn anything and it is just a way to compensate a small portion of their cost. The premade node is much more advanced than raspberry pi 2 which cost $35. However, if you're just running a full node and doing nothing else, raspberry pi 2 would be quite enough for <80 connections.

you might try here (i don't program it i just a guess)

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/

or get a hold of the author of the instructions links on the first page

surprised you got the bitcoin node to work on the 512mb version figured I'd only get that to work on the 1gb pi as a bitcoin node and probably the 512mb ver would work for
a litecoin node (my plan have both)

anyway all I have ... let us know here how it works out

Hope they start to sell this product on aliexpress.com   As they sell rasperry foundation products.
10 dollars is lot of one week. Full node dosent spend much electricity.

Second version rasperry is better to run full node

Im wandering how this foundation not accept mastercard as payment method? o.O
aliexpress.com accept even visa electron.
 I ask if they build own version full node or takes B1 sale on they portal (Money back guarantee etc)
  RJ-45 (registered jack 45) is best connection type B1 in my opinion wifi mobile interface dosent carry much data and there maybe connection problems with wifi.

I could not get bitcoin core to compile in the RasPi2-1GB version but did compile fine on the B+512MB version.

I would love to know how to get it to compile without errors on the RasPi2-1GB version.

Right now running the mining op with CGMiner. Everyone recommended to use bitcoin core etc...but as I said could not get it to compile correctly.

 well found this made another thread on it here


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11778748

to recap complete instructions for bitcoin or litecoin node on raspberry pi 2 1gb version (newest one)

have not tried it but looking good hopefully this helps most of use yank the raspberry pi out of the closet and do a btc or ltc node now

here is from my thread post revamped here ...it is 11 pages of instructions so hopefully this helps you all

quote from other thread here

 Just a link to instructions on a BUILD IT YOURSELF .... how to run either a BTC or LTC node on your raspberry pi 2 1gb version (newest)
for those wanting more blinking lights in the basement or are missing the old home miner equipment and desire
to contribute to the decentralization of either network.

Anyway here is the links

anyway looks pretty good I'll try to get on this and let you know how it works out

seemed relevant

ROKOS OS Integrated Bitcoin OKcash Litecoin Doge for PI

Is the CHIP computer powerful enough to run a full node? It seems like a neat little device.

Ack! conflicts with my previous view of his link Ack!

anyway my issue is a side issue I SHOULD be able to get a frigging Litecoin node up on a raspberry pi ..at least the NEW one ..as to those who want to do so
on the newest raspberry pi 1gb I'd think at 6x faster then the previous pi 512mb this is do'able right?

and the other reason got the pi for my node project is space .wanted something small and hell i'm just gonna hang it on a wall .the bitseed v2 node too when it
comes for that matter as well

but again ..i may just have to put the 512mb back into the titan part *just in case* box and use the 1gb newer 42 buck with shipping raspberry pi I impulse bought
for other things ..if my plans don't work out for the litecoin node

(sorry running 2 bitcoin nodes is silly in that I should give back with a LTC node too..I have scrypt machines)

1) A old HDD or a cheap HDD would do. 1TB is relatively cheap at current price.
2) That PC is not designed for heavy workloads and it would be a waste to buy it since you can't replace most of the parts and it only have 1 year warranty.
3) There are no hard drives, no memory, no os and it cost $128. It would be a much better idea to get raspberry pi and then a HDD to go with it.

good point but I have a raspberry pi 512mb B+ ...as a spare for the Titan(s) should one of the pi's go...so was thinking I could use that  for a LITECOIN node
in that it PROBABLY would have enough pop for that network (I also have the new 1gb raspberry pi as well ...if it needed to be fluffed up for the litecoin node)

(boys and toys .sigh)

as to a bitcoin node I supposedly have a bitseed v2 node coming 1st week of July or so ... that part of me giving back to the bitcoin network is more or less set


anyway my raspberry pi for such endeavors are here and thus looking like a litecoin node for MAYBE use by the 512mb one or at worse the newer 1gb version

but your solution was more elegant ...wish I'd have seen it before getting the 1gb pi (still only 42 buck for such ..I could use it for other things)

but will try the Litecoin node on a Pi first..if that don't work will consider your more elegant option in the link you posted here

(then sit around and look at the 512mb raspberry pi on the shelf in 'emergency product mode' in case a pi goes bad on the titan as its purchase justification some more)

and/or figure our some other way to play with the 2nd raspberry pi I guess So many pi's so little time

frigging impulse buying is dangerous

(hey keeps me off the streets I guess..out of traffic and good for the public order I guess)

This sounds really fun.  I'm listening for the unfolds part.  I've got a pi and and a usb miner I was thinking about running off of it too so I'm all ears.  I need to get a backup SD first tho.

Use an external storage for the blockchain data. This will also help with wear on your main SD card. Make a backup card of that main SD card right away. If it fails (which didn't happen to me on my RPi node so far) it's easy to get back online, just plug in the new card.

will watch for it.

I'm dusting off my Raspberry Pi to run my Avalon 3 USB Erupter.

If my evil plan works, I'll run a full bitcoin-xt node (with no active wallets) as well as cgminer.  Then I will run MultiBit or BitcoinJ as parital-nodes running off of a Zulu OpenJDK build on my PC's.  I may run partial nodes on my android and other devices in the house.  All the partial nodes will trust only my RasPi full node and rely on it for all contact with the outside world.

I'll report the bugs in my plan as it unfolds... slowly....

The unit is nice but costs too much and only has a 64gb sd card.  it will fill up in a year or less you would then need a card like this

I don't know what country the op is in but a small pc is better.

far better choice below

add ram and an ssd   

yes, price is problem - 190$ without customs will be at least 215$ customs included and for this, you can almost buy much better device (Intel NUC). anyway, it is really sexy;)

Way too expensive for such a device though plus 22$ shipping, and customs...no thanks

bitnodes has pre-fab'd full nodes as well:
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/hardware/

they also offer a $10 a week lottery to pay people for running nodes.

running a node on a rasp pi is really not a good idea.

you need to attach  large storage and rasp pi have no real computing power.


this is much better a 100% node machine  yeah it pulls 25 watts not 15 but it will last.

if you insist on a really tiny machine use  an intel nuc .

or better yet get this below

just a reminder... Change the password!

"raspberry" is going to be the first guessed password of anyone looking to make "all your bitcoin are belong to us"

Wow! Is this project ready? I wanna support Bitcoin network Littlebit of "salty" prize to me in local webstore (Over 50 euros = $54.07)
It includes only Rasperry Pi 2 nothing else.

on a side note ..what about a litecoin node using a raspberry pi 512mb B+.....would this be more do'able then using the same as a bitcoin node?

(hey just thinking about have a the above type raspberry pi as an present (need wealthier friends $35)

Memory can be increased by using swap but it would just cause extra load on the SDcard and it isn't as fast as the on-board memory. I/O speeds isn't a huge issue after going through initial synchronization. Read and write speeds isn't as important as potential bottlenecks in your internet.
Considering the hard disk price is getting cheaper, that isn't much of an excuse. Most modern computers could easily have 1TB of HDD since they are fairly cheap. However, the network would need more high speed diversed nodes than low uptime nodes.

FWIW, I think most of the people are not running a full node even today.  But this thread is about running a full node on a small soc computer.  Is that something you've tried?  Note: I have thought about it, and I have a pi (but not the pi 2) and I decided against it.

Most of people will not install the full node when the block size increased.                                                                                     
                             

Others have made a full node w rasp pi, you need a large memory cart. Also the read/ write speed can be an issue from what i read but i never did it myself

512MB would be the bare minimum for it to run but I believe it would work just fine. Look at these thread for tips to minimize ram usage, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/reducing-the-memory-footprint-but-still-retain-full-node-capabilities-765934.
For USB drives, SD cards and thumbdrives aren't much of a concern since it won't be having VERY HUGE loads on the device itself. They are projected to last a few years before finally wearing off.
The main bottle neck is the underpowered CPU for verifications of Blocks.

Hello ,

The computer will cost you a lot if you run it  24/24 ,but I prefer the rasberry . here's a `modified`
Rasberyy that won't cost you a lot :

Oh yah, shit.  Whoops.  Not my best moment....

"To sue" means to drag someone or something to a court. Presumably suing an SD card or USB drive hasn't been tried before, but depending on your jurisdiction you might be successful. Note however that SD cards typically don't have enough money, so you will likely pay for the litigation even if you win the case. Suing an USD device might be more profitable.

Onkel Paul

... or you might just swap two letters ... 

What does "sued" mean?  I know su as in super-user, but why would the device care what user is using it?  There's something I don't understand here for sure.  Let me know.

Regarding SD cards, the same can be said for USB devices. They are not meant to be sued full throttle around the clock.

Found a interesting post right here:https://m.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2yyb3u/how_to_run_a_full_bitcoin_node_on_a_raspberry_pi_2/. Do note that SD cards does not have great lifespan under heavy load. Your best bet would be to get a old hard disk and run it there. If you want, you can also purchase a new SSD/HDD and they can still be repurposed to be used as computer hard disk if you want in the near future. Statistics has shown that typical lifespan of HDD would be more than 4 years.

Its much cheaper to order that rasberry foundation site then Finland. I wanna support Bitcoin network, hope 5G comes soon =) Mobile interface carrys more data then 4G or 3G.  

You will need to have an external disk with more than 40 GB of storage. Then, you will need to install bitcoin core for either device. The device must be connected to the internet. Run bitcoin core and you've got yourself a full node on the network. Let it sync the entire blockchain before doing anything.

Both CHIP and the raspberry pi can be used to support the Bitcoin network. They both use some distro of linux. You may need to compile Bitcoin Core yourself however.

Also, I would not recommend using CHIP for a full node since it only has 512 MB of RAM. Bitcoin Core uses a lot of RAM, and 512 MB is definitely not enough.

By "rasperry computer" are you talking about raspberry pis?  If that's what you mean, presumably you just need to download (or build) an arm7 binary of bitcoin-core and install it on your raspberry pi running raspbian.  I would suspect that would be reasonbly straightforward to try so perhaps I misunderstand your question.  BTW, here is a guy who is selling them pre-setup for you: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/easy-plug-play-bitcoin-nodes-bitcoin-core-010-1005654  Also note, several folks, including gmaxwell, question the practicality. of this endeavour.

Hello,

How i make full node "computer" to support BitCoin network? Latest rasberry computer or that C.H.I.P what arrives lately on markets?
Is it even possible to use C.H.I.P same purpose supporting BitCoin network? What parts C.H.I.P or latest rasberry needs to working properly on BitCoin network?
