Hello Everyone,

The project name is RPiBTC. The aim of this project is to run the full Bitcoin client in a low cost Raspberry Pi model B. The Raspberry Pi is inexpensive, doesn't require much power to run, and best of all, it's tiny.
I made an image of the SD card and put it on share in a Torrent:

I've also put a blog online with explains how to setup the client running in the Raspberry Pi. http://rpibtc.blogspot.be/

If you have any remarks to do, don't hesitate.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

If you are looking for feedback, I would also look at all the other people out there already doing this same exact thing. I believe MinePeon is an entire project devoted to it.

Not completely, Minepeon is dedicated for mining only. Here all the blockchain is loaded in the SD card. The raspberry PI is running the full bitcoind or bitcoin-qt which minepeon is not focused on.

I get the difference now--but really what does yours accomplish that MinePeon ultimately doesn't? You just don't have to wait for the wallet to sync up as long?

Not trying to cause trouble, just genuinely interested with a few questions.

RPiBTC is not a mining tool. Minepeon is a mining tool.
RPiBTC has the blockcahin. Minepeon don't have the block chain.

With RPiBTC, you insure the inegrity of the bitcoin network by adding a node in the p2p network. RPiBTC can handle RPC JSON requests. In the future, the RPiBTC could hold a wallet. Minepeon is not doing that.

Thankx for asking
