Hi Bitcoin people,

I'm on Bitcointalk since early 2014 and was most of the time active in the Altcoin section.
I have concerns about the environmental impact of the use of Bitcoin but I have some idea's to make it greener.
It is a journey and I started to investigate more the use of small devices for supporting the blockchain network.

There are several guides to setup a Bitcoin full node in Rasberrypi.

I have a few Rasberrypi V3 and I tried with and without a GUI.

The setup is running now with a 500GB HDD.


With 45 connections and also incoming because port 8333 is open for the device.


Registered my full node @ https://bitnodes.io/

But I also played with the command version of the Bitcoin full node:


Mounted the same disk containing a copied version of the complete Bitcoin blockchain from my PC.


Content of the bitcoin home folder before I started the Bitcoin full node.


And after a few hours 18 connections.

I hope you like to read this post and see the success of my efforts.
By sharing this maybe others are motivated also create a Bitcoin full node on a Raspberrypi, it is very energyeffecient.
My idea's for a more energy-efficient Bitcoin blockchain ecosystem I shall share in the next post I make in this topic.


Have a nice day,

Jan

[Let me introduce my self:]

Hi Bitcoin community,

Let me introduce my self:
I’m a member here since April 2014 and Bitcoin and blockchain are very fascinating phenomena. Bitcoin, the mother of blockchain in so many shapes (Altcoins), is the engine of the Internet of Currency. In 2014 I got a free share in blockchain with 125K EnergyCoin and that was the beginning of my passion for Prove of Environment and tried to create an ecosystem on basis of clone from Bitcoin Counterparty on top of EnergyCoin. But got no support for the actual development of that great ecosystem and I left the EnergyCoin Foundation as a board member. I’m a very big whale in Stakecoin, the successor of Cinnicoin that was a short period in Marketcap top10 in 2014, and no value this moment but still a healthy blockchain.

Philosophical thoughts about the value of Bitcoin:
Bitcoin is a choice and for me, it was not but slowly I change my mind and try to see it from the other side. Let say 1 Satoshi is €1 of value in near the future, why not? Maybe the value of the € and $ has decreased soo much that you need 100 Satoshi to buy bread. 
With this Satoshi value, the Bitcoin community can save the world from climate change and more, then there are so many newly rich people that they must invest in GreenTech with a small part of their wealth and get as ROI a world with no war, with freedom of all people, no hunger and it save the Earth for 2000 years.
That is a nice thought, isn’t? Bitcoin saver of the Earth and all that we keep in shape 1 time every 10 minutes in the Bitcoin Blockchain, the Internet of Value and all the other blockchain applications (Altcoins) are just tools on top of The Blockchain.





   

[Very early announcement for new Altcoin.]

Very early announcement for new Altcoin.
This coin is intended for participation rewarding of people something good for community do.
How this coin is going to be made is yet to be devised.
I have seen many initiatives in this forum and some are very innovative.
The PoW principle is not very energy efficient but needed to make a coin a success, I understand.
PoW done  by smartphones inovation
Everyone has a smartfone and if a light application runs coins can be earned.
Do you have a good task for humanity than you earn more coins.
Who wants to help me this idea to work out?
