RE: Is it possible to run a #Hive #witness node on a raspberry pi device? If no, why ...

in DBuzz5 years ago

If there is someone who knows the answer it would be @themarkeymark. He has some raspberry pi experience.

My guess would be no due to not enough processing power in the PI. But I could be totally wrong. Don't know... sorry.

Sort:  

From what I gathered, you need at least 32 GB RAM. No Pi has enough, and it’s near impossible to add more.

If you trick the system to use microSD or a USB disk as RAM it’s horribly slow.

So I think this is a showstopper.

Yeah, this is correct.

Now, there are some things that can be disabled to bring the RAM requirements down...but probably not enough.

High performance blockchains need high performance nodes 🤷‍♂

Great thought though, and it looks like you've done some research on it :)
