How to operate a Bitcoin Cash Full Node (Bitcoin Unlimited) on Raspberry Pi?
A few weeks ago, Jamie Redman wrote an article about Bitcoin Cash full node. He mentioned there that a Bitcoin Cash full node can be executed on Raspberry Pi. Since I have such a full node and people asked me, I decided to write how I do it.
To execute a Bitcoin Cash full node on Raspberry Pi, I use:
Raspberry Pi 3 (32 Bit, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB SD-Card)
1 TB USB HDD
Bitcoin Unlimited full node software
Internet connection ↓ 90,0 Mbit/s ↑ 32,0 Mbit/s
I bought Raspberry Pi with the operating system pre-installed, so I didn't have to install it. If you want to install it yourself, you can read how to do it here .
I use a LAN cable to connect to my router. However, you can also make a Wi-Fi connection.
How to install Bitcoin Unlimited on Raspberry Pi you can read here . Which files arm32 or arm64 you need to download depends on which operating system you are using. I use the 32bit operating system.
I installed the node using the following commands:
I don't connect my Raspberry Pi to the monitor and keyboard, but do everything remote.
Downloading the complete blockchain on Raspberry Pi takes a long time, so I connected my USB hard drive to my PC and downloaded it there. Therefore I installed the Windows version of Bitcoin Unlimited on my PC. I have created a folder "Bitcoin" on the USB hard disk for the blockchain, but you can name the folder as you like. Then I started bitcoin-qt and specified the directory "Bitcoin" as target for the data.
Downloading the blockchain took me about 22 hours (I did it a few days ago).
After downloading the Blockchain to the PC, I closed bitcoin-qt and connected the hard disk to the Raspberry Pi via a USB cable. It was mounted there automatically and can be accessed as /media/pi/Volume. Now I had to tell my BU node on the Raspberry Pi where the blockchain is located. To do this I opened the file bitcoin.conf using nano (if the file does not yet exist, it must be created):

I love this write-up but my problem is I don't really understand block chain. I will be looking forward to know to much about it. I see digital marketing as the fastest growing market block chain as one of the key component.
If you stop copying articles en masse from the internet and you write your own articles, I can explain you what blockchain is and give you some BCH satoshis.
Thank you for teaching us to show you so much
