Just saw this artwork on Lisk chat.
As I understand, this is design of package
for RP based, preconfigured Lisk node.
Anyone have more info?
http://i65.tinypic.com/24vqkcy.jpgIMHO, if you need a "preconfigured" Raspberry Pi 3 to become a delegate, / run a node, you probably shouldn't be one / do that.
If you REALLY intend to use a small board computer (SBC) to run a node (and not a hosting service like Vultr or Digital Ocean, which is probably a better idea for several reasons ), then a MUCH better choice is an ODROID XU4 and not a Raspberry Pi 3. The XU4 has 8 cores running at 2GHz / 1.4 Ghz; the Pi3 has 4 cores running at 1.2 Ghz. The XU4 has Gigabit Ethernet; the Pi3 doesn't. The XU4 has a faster eMMC memory chip option; the Pi3 is stuck with slower microSD. The XU4 has 2GB of RAM; the Pi3 has half that.
http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G143452239825Once you get a XU4 (which uses the same software OS as its earlier XU3 version) you can load it with Ubuntu Server ubuntu-14.04lts-server-odroid-xu3-20150725.img.xz from
http://odroid.in/ubuntu_14.04lts/ using the instructions at
http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:odroid_flashing_tools . After that, just install Lisk following instructions from here:

As an aside, The Pi 3 is most often compared (as a loser) to the new ODROID C2 rather than the XU4, However, the C2 uses the armv8 architecture and so cannot run the current ARM version of the Lisk code, which is the armv7 used by Pi3 and XU4. Once Lisk is compiled for armv8 then the C2 is probably the best SBC choice for running Lisk sidechains; for now it's the XU4.
There really are no direct comparisons between the Pi3 and the XU4. You have to first realize the C2 "beats" the Pi3, and then realize the XU4 "beats" the C2. The XU4 is a year "older" than the newer C2 design, but ODROID's XU series is some heavy-duty gear with incredible specs that were not beaten by the cheap-as-possible C2 Pi-killer. Some googling on various Pi3 / C2 / XU4 review articles will show you what I mean.
I still think there is a place for $9 C.H.I.P computers in the Lisk sidechain world, too....
