Can you say more about the RimbitPI? Can we just make our own PI computer and get the code?
I guess it's the same as having or pc/laptop on since it is POS. The only difference is it's cheaper to run the RimbitPi 24/7 than running your laptop/cpu. Correct me if I'm wrong though. And also it will be best if we can have some small computation of cost plus possible earnings if you have like 10000 RBTs.

I am sure I read on the forum that the code will be available (free) for downloading. I do have an older Pi at home and I may try to set it up to run a wallet.

Oh, cool. So everyone can make their own small computer and get interest in very low cost as I see it! And in countries where electricity is cheap, it is even a better deal then! Nice job team Rimbit!

There was discussion of adding a solar panel, the device! you could run it for free. You can buy the Pi and the rest of the parts and make your own. the needed code is on github.com

One of the benefits of distributing it our way is that it allows us to fund projects, such as the Pi project and develop the software needed to make it work. We dont believe that developers should work for free, as is the case with some other coins, and having a funding pool, gives everyone incentives

Ive never really had much experience with solar panels... Has anyone tried hooking one up to a Pi?

You would really need a battery too, to keep the interest coming 24/7, light and dark!
It must be do-able though I suspect the pay-back on the solar gear would take years as the Pi is so cheap to run.

I once used some solar panels on a fishing shack (far in the wood) and it was not that great of an experience... Well, I needed at least 4 slow discharge batteries to have lights in the nights... in that time, there were no led lights like we have now. Anyway, that is off topic, but the point is that technologies are better today, and I think that you can have a solar panel and a battery for not that much cash. What happens if the RimbitPi gets down for a long period? Is the wallet safe?

I just noticed that the Bitcoin Forum has more than 14 millions posts in 540,000 topics, and is claiming to have almost 800,000 forum members.
I have to wonder - for the poor person who has just managed to save up more than $400 US to purchase ONE single coin, how will their voice ever be heard?

Well, I guess you mean that with one Bitcoin in your pocket and so much posts to read... you have to come a long road to make your point. I feel a little bit like this, because even if I am a rookie here, I certainly have some skills around. But, you have to build your reputation here and around too for sure.

Down to the last few hours of the "secret perk" for cheap Rimbit. You have to go to the rimbit forum and click on the link there - you do not even have to register. I think it is well worth a look at the forum and joining too but the offer is such that joining is not required. So buy some RBT and either keep them and become wildly rich in years to come or sell them for a small profit on C-Cex and regret it this time next year if RBT= $10 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

A quick search and there are several solutions you can have the unit power down on low power. http://www.instructables.com/id/Solar-Powered-Raspberry-Pi/The charger is @ $25 battery $15. you would build it for $50. This is more than the energy to runit for several years. But the cool factor is worth way more

I think the point here is that Bitcoin has become so massive that unless you were in at the beginning and formed a close alliance with one of the main groups (such as Blockchain), chances are you will have no say in what happens with the coin. What I do like with some of the smaller coins, is that everyone seems to have a say - from the veterans to the newbies. Opinions count and opportunities exist to shape the future of the coins. No one person is more important than any other. It's great - though perhaps a little more transparent than I would have expected. So I suppose if I had $400 US to invest, I'd like to have a say in how my investment can best work for me - rather than having someone tell me how it's going to be.

When I choose to invest in an altcoin, I prefer one that has a friendly community... Being part of the Rimbit community, I feel really like my words are well received and listened to. That will pay one day... too much greediness and anger may lead to the premature death of a coin IMHO.

There is a new contest underway on the Rimbit Forum at: http://www.rimbit.com/threads/create-the-caption-contest.2363/It's really straightforward, with the winner getting up to 400 RBT. As long as you are registered on the Rimbit Forum you can enter (and registration is free). If you're not registered, now would be a good time as these contests will likely continue. There probably isn't an easier way to win free RBT.

I would add to that a dev or dev team that is trustworthy, honest and helpful. I do not want issues swept under the carpet and ignored. When mistakes are made or problems happen it is good to get the truth. It instils confidence and that is something I have in Rimbit.
