RE: $100 Raspberry Pi2 Bitcoin light node with TFT display and 3D printed case

in #bitcoin8 years ago

I like it, I was thinking about doing similar node, hovewer my internet connecion is to weak currently;/
I have technical question: is there any available power to run other services on this rpi, or it can stand just a node?

Sort:  

It all depends what are the other services. You can save some CPU power by disabling Desktop GUI and keep console terminal screen. The www animations from www.realtimebitcoin.info takes so much power tho :/ The blocks synchronize much faster when I turn the screen off.
You can host simple SAMBA server together which doesn't take any CPU usage or other light services You like.
