Hey guys,
I have a raspberry Pi B+ that I'm doing nothing with, i'd like to run it as a BTC node, though the Blockchain is getting bigger and bigger. Anyone have a good tutorial that caters to the new model?
Also is there profit to be made by running a quality node or not at all? (in the past got paid running NXT nodes)

There are already a lot of Bitcoin Nodes around the world, it wouldn't do much unless you live in less Bitcoin-Savvy areas in the world like Developing Asian Countries (Philippines, Indonesia, India, etc.) You'd have a better bet by hosting a project you have using that Rasp. Pi. Maybe a website or using it as a server for an online app.

There's no profit in running a full Bitcoin node, but if you have a fast connection, you'd be helping out the community. To run a node, all you need is the latest Bitcoin Core. Otherwise, you could buy a domain and use the RasPi as your own website server. Maybe a torrent seedbox. There are many options ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

To run a bitcoin node all you have to do is install bitcoin on it and then run through terminal You can then just pull out the HDMI cable as you won't be needing the view anymore. The bitcoin blockchain is quite big so you might need a 64GB+ Sd card.

He does not need to use HDMI cable for setup, he can just SSH to the raspberry pi ...

Well the things we can do with Raspberry are quite small in terms of BTC projects, I loved mining BTC with usb miners and Minepeon for example.
Maybe if you have a LCD/TFT screen you could show the current rate of BTC/USD or EURO for example or even combine it with your current BTC balance, i've done this project in the past, let me see if I still have the code somewhere, would safe you a lot of time coding, and if you're not technical it is almost copy / paste.

I would say that it's unnecessary...but here is the video, I think you mean the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7kInkXEl6MHere is also a GitHub source: https://github.com/grepped/raspberry-pi_btc-tickerPsychological Effects
Aside from getting disturbed by an alien blue glow and seeing the exchange rate on my desk all the time, surprisingly little has changed. Knowing the exact rate is useful while trading, but I find the data is difficult remember, so I can see the use for a 1hr/24hr averaging system, and having the backlight change from green/red on uptick/downtick, allowing for a visual index.
Will report back if I experience a singularity with the blockchain. True.

The problem is the memory. If you have an external drive to plug in, then you'll be fine. USB flash drives just die all the time.

Raspberry Pi model B+ includes only 512mb ram. To run a full node, be sure to add swap. If you only have a SD card, do not run a full node as swap and heavy read and writes on the SD card would most likely shorten the lifespan. Use a HDD/SSD instead.

Running a node with raspberry pi seems a big task but.. its possible, for example i was thinking on setting up my raspberry pi b + that ihave around as a cold wallet, but if theres a bitcoin-qt available for ARM you should go ahead and try it.
I've made a script for that, still in Beta, but works (some issues with btchip's HID keyboard replay and udev rule ...) https://github.com/aussiehash/Bitcoin-for-SBC

Didn't know there is a B+ model out there as well of the Pi.

Really clean script, there's much to learn from it, I'll try to use it with my Archlinux ARM instead of Raspbian
