Is it possible to have a VeriCoin wallet in a Raspberry Pi? If "yes" is it safe? I'll only use the Raspberry to the VeriCoin Wallet while Staking (less power and I'll be able to shutdown my main computer).
Please explain this....veri interested! I've got some reply in the IRC and yes, it's possible and because it's linux it's safe/secure as it can be because are less virus for linux. They also said that the android wallet it's also an option... so will wait because if the android wallet works ok I can buy a cheap android smartphone just to have my wallet staking.... The raspberry Pi is cheaper than a cheap smartphone but I would have to buy accessories for it and certainly would become more expensive than a smartphone ready to go. How would a smart phone be cheaper than the Raspberry Pi? All you need to access to your Pi an Ethernet cable, connect to your ADSL router and then ssh to the small box. Even cheaper a BeagleBone Black, same ARM core and I prefer it over Raspberry PI, but the two are kind of same. Anyway, I got into this vericoin 1 week ago and since I have been thinking to build a wallet for the ARM boards like Raspberry PI and BeagleBone Black. Now I am checking their source code and will try put together and compile something with gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi. I think using Raspberry PI/BeagleBone Black would really the perfect solution for staking. I am getting tired that the wallet needs to run all day in order to stake - the small 5.5V ARM boards that could run all day would be the perfect candidates to perform the staking task. Of course there won't be fancy user interface with fading out icons just command line, but that's should be OK. There are always trade of between performance/robustness and convenience with software applications. Once I have time I will try to get done the ARM wallet. hello, the process of staking is not only for creating interest but also for running and securing the network  but nevertheless there was one feature called VeriBank planned. i think thats something like a online wallet where you can stake your coins, i think exactly the feature you want (no open wallet running 24 h). also a raspberry pi cost around 30+, a smartphone 50+. |

Btw, I am not experienced in Android development, but as far as I know it is not suitable for such applications like the 24/7 staking wallet. I am sure applications can run as a background process in Android, but perhaps not such intensive cryptography tasks, but again I am not sure, an Android developer would know that. As guys above pointed it out quite rightly the small ARM board are the really perfect tools for teh network enabled staking. |

I spent today to try get my head around the P&D shit £400.00 worth time :-)) not to mention that people are investing many BTCs, to have a secure and dedicated £30.00 small box shouldn't be an issue for any VRC holder. I am not sure about the VeriBank. It's matter of preference, and personally I would prefer to keep my coins next to my router in a secure ARM box that makes an encrypted network backup every day than left my coins with a third party service provider. But that's just my preference. My wife left me (fortunately actually), so at least I could hug my ARM board wallet if I keep the coins in that :-))) |

USB sticks, smart cards, payment terminals, etc. Non of them very difficult to get done, these days are tons off application references from MCU manufacturers, but it could create lots of interests and news. How cool it would be the have a VeriCoin retail payment terminal? This is really not rocket science a graduate engineer should be able to put it together ... especially that in this alt coint world no regulatory requirements to comply with :-))) |

Yes, you are absolutely right, the smart phone could be good for wallet and I can't deny that this is the logical choice for most of people. Not for me, because a) I always lost it b) if I manage not to loose it then when I travel exotic places like North-London 2-3 guys beat the crap out of me and take my smart phone. So I would prefer to keep my wallet next to my router in an ARM board with 2-step authentication and daily encrypted backup to a network drive - just in case if I loose the smart phone. |

I have posted to the VeriCoin website ( http://www.vericoin.info/community.html) our intention and special donation addresses that will go to fund incedental PR activity. Joel Bosch, a VeriCoin investor, has sponsored Bristol PR to provide us with public relations. The devs are in communication with the PR team and the donation was with no strings attached. Bristol PR has agreed to accept 12.5% of the payment directly in VeriCoin (which is awesome!). Anyway, we think this project will pay dividends and our cost is significantly lower than that of other coins PR activities. We are raising funds for incidental expenses related to PR including the creation of a media kit, funding events (including one at the NYC Bitcoin Center), and the like. Please help us with this initiative. We are looking at around 8 BTC in donations per month to cover this cost. Progress can be measured by checking the BTC and VRC block chains using the addresses: BTC: 1FQtDWQYKStc1r8zhnutfgseWVubsHvzWg and VRC: VDW8YSZCBh7Gwv65GqrhYjgCftCtq83TUW. For transparency purposes, we will be uploading all invoices and receipts related to this task so the community can see that it was utilized properly and in the interest of VeriCoin. |

But i am afraid when I get the cash to buy bitcoins then vrc it will be too late. If I had the bitcoins now, i wouldn't think twice. But you are more reasonable than I am. You buy faster than I can write. You are like me ;-) |

Joel Bosch (wizfarm) previously agreed to fund our PR activities however many are skeptical about his intentions. Because of this, we would like to raise the money to cover the PR costs and incidentals from the community instead. I have posted to the VeriCoin website ( http://www.vericoin.info/community.html) this intention and special donation addresses that will go to fund this activity.

For transparency purposes, we will be uploading all invoices and receipts related to this task so the community can see that it was utilized properly and in the interest of VeriCoin. Ignore the "skeptics". They're just going to find something else to whine about. Guaranteed. It's what they do rather than being productive. Seriously, they won't go away after this, they'll just be louder. |
