Hi
Tell me please, what is the point the user to keep a running Bitcoin core wallet on this system if it does not receive from this process any income?
At this stage, any pool for Bitcoin network that launched the wallet is already receiving earnings.
When the user holds running your POS wallet he gets from this income. But from a Bitcoin wallet you will not receive any income.
Or you just believe in the noble intentions of some users who have a lot of Bitcoin and trying thus to support the bitcoin network?
There are incentives by itself, heres some ideas for who it might work.
1.- Any User: You can dedicate it to use as a Hardware Bitcoin Wallet increasing the security and protection of your BTC. (connect it to internet to use and then to sync and disconnect to keep it as cold storage when not using it) (lite versions will be released in the future without the need of syncing the chain)
2.- Devs and services: can set up the node to work with any of your applications/services. (less energy consumption and maintenance costs)
3.- IoT Devs: start testing / integrating to IoT applications.
4.- Kids: Introduction to Bitcoin, Test and learn how bitcoin works (Kids version will be released in the future, providing games/design for kids with Bitcoin Info/Tips/fun facts)
5.- Noble users: I have no doubt there's some noble Bitcoin supporters that might get some Pi's to download and support the network, I run one myself for that goal.
6.- Some users/services might even migrate to Pi devices after running tests as it saves energy and resources = saves them money.
7.- Miners (add mining sofware & plug HW) saving energy and resources = money (Miners software will get included in future releases)
etc, In my vision only the imagination is the limit, IoT devices get released with more potential (processors,boards,ram) every few months.
I am already backing a PINE64+ for next ROKOS compatibility release. (sharing in next message)
The only wall that was preventing Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies to grow/integrate to IoT, was the high cost of the provided solutions, which we just broke down with the ROKOS release for and from the community, now everyone can download and test/use/apply/learn/support/develop/etc ,
I feel we are only seen the start of it.
Thanks for your participation and feedback.
