2.0 local server via a raspberry pi?

[Permie]

Next Thing Co. have built an open source "chip" that is faster than raspberry pi, for $9!

http://makezine.com/2015/05/07/next-thing-co-releases-worlds-first-9-computer/

Snugly situated in an industrial section of Oakland, California, is Next Thing Co., a team of nine artists and engineers who are pursuing the dream of a lower cost single-board computer. Today they've unveiled their progress on Kickstarter, offering a $9 development board called Chip.

The board is Open Hardware, runs a flavor of Debian Linux, and boasts a 1GHz R8 ARM processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of eMMC storage. It is more powerful than a Raspberry Pi B+ and equal to the BeagleBone Black in clock speed, RAM, and storage. Differentiating Chip from Beagle is its built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the ease with which it can be made portable, thanks to circuitry that handles battery operation.

@maqifrnswa could you open a new thread in general? for testers? would be great!

and thanks for your work so far :)

done:

For now I'll just play around debugging myself on the current image. Next step will be to set up the repository.

Awesome work -  +5000%

building Graphene on my CuBox now (archlinux-arm)  :D

awesome! Do we have a feel for "minimum requirements" yet? At some point we can have a wiki with images, or at least have executables available for download for as many distros/architectures as makes sense

I have a Pi B, Could you tell us how to do it step by step ? how to make ?

Great work!

First image is up. Should work with any RPI or RPI2. The image fits on a 6GB or smaller SD card, following the same instructions you would use to install raspbian on an SD card (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md). It is actually < 3GB of data, but I'm still actively using the disk and didn't want to go through the effort of trimming it down yet.

I made a torrent for distribution:
https://people.debian.org/~showard/20150625_raspbian_bitshares.zip.torrent

It should download it from my machine. I'll remove it from my machine once you let me know you get it. It's basically a minimal raspbian server install, no desktop. You have to SSH in to it with user: pi, and no password:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-ssh-to-talk-with-your-Raspberry-Pi/

There are two executables in the home directory, witness_node and wallet_cli. You can use them as described here:
https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene

this is just a preliminary test, but the idea is the same - there will just be an image you flash to a drive, and your pi is now a witness_node/CLI wallet node

Awesome!  +5%

very nice.  I am curious what level of transaction volume a RPI or RPI2 would be able to maintain.

I might get this done sooner than I thought...

I've been piecing together how to emulate raspbian without actually needing hardware, and without using qemu to emulate a whole system (which is so slow) and wrote:
https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi/qemu-user-static

The image I'm working on will be a full jessie rasbian image you can just flash to your sd card. I will have all the commands for the bitshares 2.0 cli wallet and witness node. We'll need to keep an eye on zhangweis' problem too:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,14917.msg193170.html#msg193170

nice! maybe you could open a thread in general to keep everyone updated?

as for the smartpi:

power on and

- low energy costs
- possible ROI as witness (or delegate)
- use bitshares instantly
- local network secure
