Title: Updated Offline Bundle for Raspberry Pi
Post by: whatismyname on November 12, 2017, 03:32:17 AM
Is there any plan to release an updated offline bundle for raspberry pi? The last offline bundle (0.93.3 release) appears to be be incompatible with the now Jessie-based Raspbian OS.

I've been slacking on that, I'll deal with it at some point.

Yes, thank you goatpig! I ask not to bother, but because I find this project and your work on it extremely valuable and useful! Once again, thank you.

Second (or third) this! I've been hoping 96.3/4 will have a rPi offline release. RPis are slow for crypto, but super compact and simple - ideal for cold storage operations IMO.
Thank you very much for all your work goatpig~

The latest model is not even particularly slow, it signs a transaction within a second or two.  The initial RPi required a bit more patience ...

For the Pi3? I was tempted to try it, but the Pi3 includes onboard Wifi and Bluetooth, so I thought the Pi2 would be better for cold storage (if not frustratingly slow). I imagine the original Pi would be nearly unusable.

Yes, I blacklisted the kernel module for WiFi, but in principle some malware could sneak in and reactivate it.

I am not that paranoid, even with current prices my stash is not big enough to warrant the development of malware targeting my RPi specifically.  ;D

But I should probably blacklist the Bluetooth modules as well...

EDIT: Even the RPi 1 is not *frustratingly* slow.  It maybe takes half a minute to start Armory, and a tx with many inputs may take 45 seconds to sign.  Enough that you start wondering when it will finish, but still less than the time spend on swapping USB sticks etc. :)
