Topic: Raspberry Pi 2 for staking (Read 4371 times)

probably it can be mined also from linux os, via FPGA can be used as usual, but i dont really understand about mining code...

I know this thread is old, but could somebody enlighten me on the usage of a flashdrive to avoid sd card corruption on the pi? To me, it seems the flashdrive would be equally corrupted by the successive overwrites. Am I missing something here?

Have a look at Rokos

Doesn't contain other PoS coins beside OKCash yet, but will follow soon (according to the developer).

  Looking for a  updated list of  coins that as uses Raspberry Pi 2  for staking .

   I know of 2

   HyperStake HYP   wallet did not install right of me
   GenStake  G3N    is Staking Great for me.

  Is there any more coins.


 

 

well thanks for the advise and for your services i ll contact you should get stuck at any point appreciate your assistance

I run all my wallets on Raspberry Pi. It works great for just about anything including solo mining, staking you name it. The only issue is that Qt5 libraries are not available yet to so ant apt-get install. It is possible to do a standalone compile of Qt5 but that becomes very tricky and the Qt5 compiles on a i looks ugly. In addition, compiling Qt5 on the Pi takes between 1-2 days.

In order to determine the strategy of a coins wallets on a Pi, look if the .Pro file has been setup for Qt5 or Qt4. If Qt4 then no problem it will compile, if Qt5 then skip Qt and just compile the headless daemon. You could always build your own Qt4 project if you really have the time and effort but it generally is not worth the effort. Here ans there are tricks to bypass the Qt5 issues like the qtwaitingspinner solution I mentioned in the one thread. In all cases headless daemon works perfectly fine. Qt wallets have a marginal advantage in that you can see visually what is going on with your coins and managing addresses with copy paste etc. There is nothing though that can be done with Qt wallet that you canot do with the daemon with a little bit more effort.

Iv posted several installation scripts for Pi wallets through the alt-coin section. If you want advice on a certain coin or want a script for it let me know.

EDIT: I would recommend the following 2 things for the headless daemon: 1) Change UPNP to "1" in the makefile.unix and 2) always check the src/leveldb/build_platform_detect to make sure it has read permissions for at least the account your compiling with, but it is ok to change it to "anyone" or world for the build.

i never tried apached server thing in pi just wallets for staking pupose but yes the mem in draining like insance epacially when you run gigantic wallets like HYP and TEK etc...... and of course over a period of time plenty of things get cluttered in there. currently i put both wallets in different RPI along with others and both are running flawlessly and smooth

Pi 2 is cheap, and significantly improved as well. Problem is, the coin [probably] dies before staking is worth it. VNL can be mined via FPGA, a rough guide is available on the official website. The only coin I would've staked in was DMD or Magi. Just getting caught up with how things are coming along.

man thats just awesome, 20 wallets in rpi2? and the system is stable? because i was asking to myselft how many wallets i can run with it, btw is the mem full too? i need to run some php crontab, do you think rpi2 can run for example 5-6 wallets + apache server?

POS is the future, just blows POW mining out of the water in terms of efficiency, no way you could have a multi-pool on a pi with POW. This is great, I wasn't aware you could Stake 4 different Coins on a pi.

you are most welcome wondering if anyone tried running own solo pool for any altcoin on RPI? is it possible or not ??

It's PayCon [CON], not Paycoin

Also has Litestake which makes it more CPU efficient.

For QT 5 try these dependencies:
   
apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools \
        build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
        libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
        libssl-dev libdb++-dev

Why would you even want qt gui for staking? Just compile the binary and use the pi2 as a server for something else as well.

Thanks for the tip about sd card issues

I'm quoting this for my own future reference.

If you post some coins you are trying to compile it would be easier to help you sort out your dependencies. Also, what OS you are using on the pi.

I think paycoin might have some issues with it.  It has potential of huge upswing if I'm wrong.  But what that coin promised it would be is nothing like what it turned out of.

I suggest you might look into other proof of stake coins.   And I would guess with Raspberry Pi 2 you should have enough power to possibly run a few POS coin clients.  Only thing is the need of good internet to make sure you don't drag it down to much on speed.

being a newbie and have no knowldge about linux and doesnt know the diff in between qt5 or qt4 i followed these tutorials, respective threads and now having 20 wallets in 5 rpi successfully staking

i would advise you to follow this link as well since it helped me to overcome the sd card issues

have fun mate there are lot of lads in each coin who will be able to help u

I havent' tried on raspberry pi 2, but yes, qt4 and qt5 are different. You need to have the qt runtime libraries on your device.  Could you post the compile logs? Perhaps the compile log could provide some pointers for us on why the compiling fails.

Now, i'm not sure this is the right place for this, but i didn't find more appropriate boards so..
I'm trying to set up some wallets for staking on a raspberry pi 2, and i was wondering if anyone can give me some advices, as i often run into problems compiling.
I've been using qt4(command line), and i only managed to compile a Paycon wallet. Should i use qtcreator(5)?
Does qt version even matter?
