I was running a RaspiBlitz on a Raspberry Pi some time ago, but it crashed. Later, I had a laptop lying around so I tried the same configuration on this hardware (with Debian + the RaspiBlitz script). Then it was moved to yet another laptop... so overall my node has been on and off for quite some time, but it has been down very often. Hopefully this is an opportunity to keep it working for a longer time.

I've used it recently so it's already mostly synchronized.

Legend:

†Indicates a bitcoin node failure or some other reason which I have been made aware of. Members who are absent for too long will be removed without notice and will have to start over if they want to rejoin.

*Indicates a person who has not submitted a report for a long time. Please do so immediately to avoid getting removed without notice.

#Indicates a person whose report was not processed because it is incorrect. Usually this is because you misnumbered your days. Please fix your report as soon as possible.

Report generation is semi-automated now, so if you see any error in the progress report like your name isn't listed correctly, and so on, please let me know so I can fix it.

Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports. It makes compiling this list slightly harder.

If you don't meet the minimum rank requirements, your post will be ignored.

Congratulations to ARTOIS for completing the challenge!
