Cloning can be done easily, but whilst compiling v10 it'll run out of memory. The last one I got compiled was 0.8.6, there are reports about successful builds of 0.9.1: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoind-091-on-raspberrypi-633347

Install archlinux arm and compile use AUR

Guides:

If you are new to linux, install raspbian and try to go from there using one of the available guides.

I don't think most older rpi are not really that sufficient to run the bitcoin software on.   

Some people do succeed though:  http://blog.pryds.eu/2014/06/compile-bitcoin-core-on-raspberry-pi.html
Note B+ or B rev2.


Sorry its a B+ Smiley

I have followed various of guides, but a friend of mine told me the problem is on Githubs site.
It's definitely not github.  Something's going on with your side.

Don't try to clone a branch, clone the repo.  Then, switch to the branch you want.

I have downloaded the files now, but I am not able to use the command qmake to start creating the qt

Did you install all the prerequisite libraries and packages to be able to build?  Honestly, I'm not sure that B+ will have access to enough available RAM to actually build the core to begin with, unless you're doing some fancy virtual RAM swapping with an attached external drive.  There are a number of tutorials on how to build Bitcoin Core on a Pi; however, if you've never used Linux before, I'd suggest you do a bit of reading on the OS and how to get around in it prior to attempting.

I was just able to clone it onto my Pi model B no problem.

Try using the following:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
If it doesn't clone then it might be a problem with your internet connection not being able to access Github.

If it's not good enough you could always look at the raspberry pi 2.   It has quite a bit more power.

So..

I am working on getting my wallet to my rasp pi Model B.

But when I try to git clone -b 0.10.10 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git or https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.src then it either says: " 403 error while accessing https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed"

I have never used Linux before.. So I am a complete noob.

How do I get this going???


Thank you

~Hamuki
