Title: Raspberry pi and ZenCash secure node
Post by: highperspective on January 14, 2018, 12:28:29 PM
I want to set up a ZenCash secure node, using as little power as possible. I've heard that it is clever to use a raspberry pi computer but I do not have any knowledge about these. Can anyone help me what kind of raspberry pi I could use for a ZenCash secure node?

Not going to work. raspberry pi doesn't have the calculation power to perform the challenge computation in less than 5 minutes, or 300 seconds.

Can you recommend another option for using a low power source?

I thought most people were using VPS to run secure nodes.

I am sorry for asking so much about this, but I do not know enough about it myself. Can I rent a VPN/VPS to run the node. This way I am sure that it is running 24h and I do not need to run it physically myslef?

Dont forget you also need 44+1 ZEN to actually run the secure node.
