Ahhh. a raspberry pi, got it.
-
@rds,
I remember reading in this forum that it was not easy to get that platform to mine, don't know about wallet only.
-
@rds no if you use the AIO wallet the default is the Online wallet, you have to specifically select run local wallet
-
@socal , pretty sure the local is running in the background whether you're logged into it or not. I have started my local wallet, it would say wait, I would login to the online wallet, never go back to local and can solo mine. Solo mine needs a local wallet, so having never logged into it, but it is still running.
-
@rds I know the local wallet is supposed to sync in the background but there were DB issues when one would close the wallet, I'm talking about setting up a full time node.
-
@socal please define "full time node".
I have my local wallet running since a few weeks(24/7), for the purpose of providing a node to the network.
Am I a "full time node"?
-
@Daforce yes
-
I run the local wallet all the time, and am open to running my Rasp pi once I get moved into my new house, but is there a good tutorial on how to set that up? Do I just use a linux distro, and then install the wallet for that?
-
I run 2 local wallets from different networks constantly, and also run a 3rd on my laptop when i have the wallet up, however its not up 24/7 like the other 2.
-
I will let my wallet sync starting tonight I always just ran AIO online wallet but will switch it is on 24/7
-
Alright! Lol I didn't realize how many people actually had nodes going lol. This is great!
-
I've got one running in a VM on my desktop at the moment as a test server for a Burst project I've got in mind. Will be moving it to a Rackspace virtual machine in a few weeks - or hopefully sooner if I can finish it sooner.
-
@DougLife yes all thats needed is a linux distro and then the Burst wallet, as for a tutorial to setup a wallet on a RPi I don't know if one exists but I am sure someone (maybe @dawallet) could post a how-to or maybe even I will after I play with them and set them up
-
Count another node here! Always on...
-
@socal I'm in with 3 RPIs and 6 different systems.
-
Prolly 16 hours out of the day. Backup my db daily also just in case (config file also). Archive for as long as I think is needed.
-
Will switch my pc (full-time) to local wallet and will do the same on my laptop (part-time^^)
-
I already have one machine running the local wallet full time and could start it on another. Does it matter if they're on the same network?
-
I've been running the local wallet 24/7 on one of my servers for about a month now. That way my password never leaves my LAN! :) Setting up an extra node on an RPi sounds fun, and I have a few sitting around. I'm putting it on my to-do list.
