How long does it take to startup DMD client? (loading blockchain etc), windows client takes several minutes to load from coldstart.  Not talking syncing just loading, from SD card must be quite slow ...

startup deepens mostly on hdd  access time speed (lot small pieces)

on my pc startup take below 1 min

and i expect the raspberry to beat any normal hdd a lot too because if u use a nice high performance
micro-sd SDHC (i use a 64 gb) it beat any hdd in access times special of lot small pieces like startup of a crypto wallet needs

so the magic solution is SSD if u want fast startup and a SDHC deliver nearly same boost because it have fast access times too

here a statement of a tech review:

SDHC cards have extremely fast access times that even rival expensive SSD storage drives. On the other hand, data transfer (read/write) times are quite slow … even by slow hard drive standards.

i can give ya startup times once i finished sync the chain

i run here a sync from zero to test that too

@cryptonit
Nice, looking on Amazon @ Pi2, Pi3 complete ... looks like a good solution for staking 24/7/365 ... why Pi2 and not newer?
Yeah i'd say 64G minimum.

because i had the pi2 already

u could wait for pine64 that will have a 2gb ram version too
worth to consider it rokos will support it

special if u want to run multiple coin wallets the ram is the bottleneck

Wasn't there a plan to release complete DMD Pi box in the past?  I'd rather not buy one with a low-end SD card that I have no use for LOL.  Looks like class 10 SDHC/SDXC 64GB would be minimum.  And what happened to DiamondOS ...

[StakeBox]

I have supported DMD on the StakeBox since the middle of last year. I only use SanDisk Ultra micro SD cards, 64GB is really overkill, there is plenty of room for blockchain growth with a 16GB card. These are really intended for those that don't want to muck around with any kind of setting up, burning images, or additional software. Simply plug it in to power and Ethernet, with the included power supply and Ethernet cable, and go to StakeBox.local/, and send some coins to it. It really couldn't be any more simple. You can check it out at StakeBox.com.

What flavor/version linux? My reason for 64GB is multi use box but on 24/7 ...

It is running Raspbian. Now the 64GB makes more sense.

Not familiar with it ... is Ubuntu or Mint supported?

Ahh nice, debian based ...

Raspbian is the default RPi OS, it is a version of Debian specifically for the RPi.

[utahjohn]

LOL just saw that I am familiar with debian

$110 is kinda high but if u can provide a complete package with the fastest 64GB SD I'm thinking about it for the first of the month. Is this Pi2 or Pi3 I forgot to ask ... (Preloaded is a nice extra feature since I don't own a SD reader/writer for desktop).

[cryptonit]

difference between stakebox and rokos as i see it is
rokos is free to download image with preinstalled wallet but u need to buy hardware on ur own (easy task mini comupter this days sold on lot places)
stakebox need ya to buy the hardware with preinstalled software (or is there a free img download avaiable too?)

i think each path will find its customers

rokos might be cheaper or even free if ya own hardware already like i did

stakebox is maybe easyer (i just guess i never used one myself)

but dont forget there is a 3rd path

just buy one of this cheap windows tablet that are on market now below 100€ too

and make it ur staking device

i think thats the most easy path
example a CHUWI Hi8 a sub 100$ windows table
http://techtablets.com/chuwi-hi8/review/

good enough to lay around at home and stake

@utahjohn - I recently purchased this complete Pi3 pack on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6Q2GSY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

It has a class 10 32gb chip included.  Not to bad at $80 - it is a complete kit to get you started.

tablet is an interesting option and perhaps myself would have used it, but I would be afraid to keep thousands of DMD on a tablet of Chinese-made with cheap components.
what will happen if one day he simply will not turn on? make a backup of the purse every day quickly get bored.

LOL
Is Atom CPU even supported by DMD? Yes and No LOL.

All Atom processors implement the x86 (IA-32) instruction set; however, support for the Intel 64 instruction set was not added until the desktop Diamondville and desktop and mobile Pineview cores. The Atom N2xx and Z5xx series Atom models cannot run x86-64 code.[21] The Centerton server processors will support the Intel 64 instruction set

@cryptonit
U need to have a 32bit windows wallet also available for full ATOM support ...

Looks like I'll be going with Pi3 with ARM CPU and Rasbian (debian based)
32bit for now although Pi3 has 64bit ... http://linuxgizmos.com/raspberry-pi-3-has-a-64-bit-cpu-but-a-32-bit-raspbian-os/
Likely buy from stakebox when new wallet is released and stable ...

Hmm might consider this too: http://linuxgizmos.com/64-bit-odroid-sbc-runs-linux-on-2ghz-quad-core-cortex-a53/
Ships with Ubuntu linux pre-installed ...

Linux version of wallet easy enough to build from source

Odroid-C2 $40 http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145457216438 out of stock
Got it here, just ordered Order Total $48.70 shipped USA : http://ameridroid.com
Gotta get power supply, case and hdmi cable and 32G mmc card with linux ... ordered
Nice feature is both eMMC 5.0 and SD cards are supported, if I ever need more can just add another SD card and mount it as a sub-directory of /home ...

Guess I'll be the guinea-pig on this Not the cheapest package but probably better than Pi3 and running Ubuntu ...
Should have the hardware in about a week ... when is new wallet going to be released?

ur coins are not on the tablet
ur coins are in  the blockchain
as long as u have the private keys of ur staking addresses
u can always access them

u dont need a backup of wallet.dat each day
the only reason why regulary wallet.dat backups make sence is because of change addresses
a old wallet.dat backup dont have new generated change addresses in it

if u use in diamond.conf the option
changeaddress=yourdesiredchangeaddress
u dont have to worry about that any longer
because no new addresses are generated each time u get change coins back

i have a digital backup of private keys and printed backup stored at different places
for me thats secure enough

if my pc explode even if my house burns down i dont lose a single coin

Thank you for the clarification. this is valuable information.

[cryptonit]

who runs a 24/7 wallet with a static ip and wants to be a DMD Diamond Community node?

nothing to be earned just a addnode line in diamond.conf template

[utahjohn]

I have a suggestion for the wallet, might be easy IDK and make things easier for newbs
When a brand new wallet.dat/diamond.conf is created, would it be possible to set changeaddress= to the address created?

there is no diamond.conf created
a diamond.conf is always created by user

without diamond.conf wallet run for everything the default mode

we sure wont write a changeaddress= into a diamond.conf

this is a setting that affect transactions

for such a setting user is responsible
