finished my testnet setups yesterday, now catching up mainnet. follow this guide to switch from testnet https://github.com/Stadicus/guides/blob/master/raspibolt/raspibolt_50_mainnet.md#mainnet
Wouldn't it be better for you to synchronize with the mainnet on your computer and then copying all the files to your Raspberry Pi? Once you manage to do it, can you post here if everything is working correctly?
my nodes are working good, 0.16.2 over wifi
you could copy synced blockchain on hdd as described here https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz#copy-the-blockchain

I am interested about it. But I am totally newbie in this purpose and failed sometimes. So I am afraid to take furthermore step. Is it will reliable for me?
the setup is simple, but its recommended to have some basic command line skills. also this could be a great way to learn linux without installing it on windows machine

Looks like a very promising solution based on RaspberryPi. The best part is, it provides a hardware lightning node and also lays out the path to building your own apps based on LApps. Moreover, it is very low-cost (150 usd) setup and has an amazing hardware extension ecosystem.
o yes, precisely! also LTC support is now available

I would like to know more about RaspiBlitz. I am hopeful that it will come up with something good and will be able to fulfill our needs. Best wishes for the RaspiBlitz.

A nice post for them who wants to start the lightning network with RaspiBlitz. Hereby seeing, I found in detail info from what to till what I need in order to set up a network node of my own. A good post to have knowledge about hardware and software and how to set up, in detail information.

Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is recommended for this setup. Have you managed to set it up? I would like to know more details such as RAM and CPU usage. I don't intend to run anything else on the Raspberry Pi; however, it would be nice to be able to use it like a normal computer without any problems. I was thinking of trying this out, but I am afraid that it might be a bit overkill for me. I would be glad if you could answer my questions.
running b+ as well - waiting for new power adapter, first one couldn't deliver enough juice for hdd. should have more data in couple days. for standard station usage you might want to do some custom tweaking to get back wifi and local network ssh logins, this might be added later in options or ill post the guide if it works well locally.
if you want to use a regular ubuntu/other os - you could just take off the LCD display, burn standard os image and its ready to go

With so low cost, only approximately (140-150 USD) as an added value, looks like a great solution based on RaspberryPi. The amazing aspect is, its hardware ecosystem, providing a lightning node which also gives an opportunity to building your personal apps based on LApps. Great step taken, and seems to have very promising future ahead.

fix permissions if needed:

If you want to start with lightning network - there's a great solution from rootzoll https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz. currently testing new setup and will post updates in a few.
