Title: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: LargePig on September 17, 2012, 11:30:06 AM Hi,
I got into bitcoins recently, for fun really, and also to pay for a VPN service. I don't have very many, nearly 2 :( This weekend I built Armory 0.82.4 for Raspberry Pi following FiloSottile's gist https://gist.github.com/3646033 (https://gist.github.com/3646033) with some tweaks for Raspbian. I now have my 2012-08-16 Wheezy Raspbian Pi running Armory 0.82.4 as cold storage for my meagre 2 BTC and thought I would share the build to save people a few hours. It's not likely anyone will trust using it but it's here on my SkyDrive http://sdrv.ms/O8vBgw (http://sdrv.ms/O8vBgw). I've tested creating a wallet, 'printing' a pdf backup, saving a watch only wallet and signing an offline transaction, all worked fine. I figure what's the possible harm I could be intending to commit with software intended to run on a computer with no internet connection... "First post ever and this guy links to some dodgy software..."... I know, I know.

Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: LargePig on September 17, 2012, 01:15:48 PM Thanks Luno
:'( Nobody trusts me :'( Not even a little surprised though, almost didn't bother posting it. Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: caveden on September 17, 2012, 01:27:11 PM You post it at 13:30 and then complains that nobody has tested it yet at 15:15? You expected reviews and such in less than 2h?
I'm particularly interested in trying to set up a raspberry pi wallet, but first of all I'll have to acquire one, what apparently isn't that fast, Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: LargePig on September 17, 2012, 01:41:02 PM You post it at 13:30 and then complains that nobody has tested it yet at 15:15? You expected reviews and such in less than 2h? Not at all, I was only joking ;) It's a perfect use of a RPi, I hope you manage to source one soon! Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: Panoramix on September 17, 2012, 06:37:25 PM I have one laying around and have been thinking about doing the same thing. Just never came around actually doing it. You know how it goes ;D
I'm watching this thread and will try this out as soon as I find the time. Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: aneutronic on September 17, 2012, 10:20:16 PM Nice. +1
Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: rpgreseller on September 18, 2012, 06:56:02 PM The Raspberry is exciting tech. I bought my niece a computer last year and dropped about $800.
A Raspberry would have been a much cooler investment, and then I'd be forcing Linux on to the little ones. Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: LargePig on September 18, 2012, 07:42:13 PM Yeah, I think a Pi would be a great starter computer, great for learning Linux and if you do anything really stupid to your installation you're only 5 minutes away from a re-imaged SD card.
Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: meva on January 21, 2013, 03:07:54 AM Sorry for the stupid question... I'm a noob when it comes to linux... How do I install the tarball?
every walk though I try says to go to the directory where extracted and do a "./configure" but there is no such file... Cheers, Title: Re: Introduction and Raspberry Pi Post by: BetterBitcoinUp on January 21, 2013, 03:29:26 AM This looks interesting. Don't have the time right now.
