Raspberry Pi

You can use it to create an emulator box that you attach to your television.

It's pretty cool.

Came here to say the same. You could do an NES emulator, complete with tiny case.

If you don't have a 3d printer TECSHARE is offering to print up things around here somewhere.

Haven't seen a Pi for sale for a while on here, but if you listed it I'm sure someone will buy it.

This guy is selling B+ models shipped from China.

I tried running a full node, but it's too low on memory.

have you try using swap memory ? maybe on harddisk ?

Yeah the whole thing grinds to a crawl. Even compiling the source code overflows into swap space.

hmmm... did you use swap file on the flashdisk ?

 i once try compiling with swap file on harddisk and removing the swap file from flashdisk.

I only had a SD card mounted.
I run a full node on another machine now which is more suitable.

well the swap on sdcard is too small and the speed is not adequate. if i remember correctly i use swap partition on harddisk and swap size is around 2G, it can compile ok that way.

 i recommend try create swap file on external harddisk and mount it :


#Creating swap file#

dd if=/dev/zero of=/SWAPFILE bs=1024 count=524288
#This will create a 512MB blank file.
#Change the count= to your preferred size.
chown root:root /SWAPFILE
chmod 0600 /SWAPFILE
mkswap /SWAPFILE
swapon /SWAPFILE


or

#Setting swap partition#

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXN bs=1024
#This will fill the entire partition of /dev/sdXN
mkswap /dev/sdXN
swapon /dev/sdXN
