Two approaches to blurt as hardware

in blurt •  4 years ago  (edited)

For a lot of people every penny counts. We should take care for all the people and make the blockchain as inexpencive as possible. You must not do the things fast, but good. We Germans have an old but simple speech: Good things take time. And of course nobody is in any hurry with the Blurt. We all can wait and blog meaningful articles in the meantime until our blockchain is developed. I'm very exited to try your first edition, Jacob. My Raspberry is ready!

It's ready now :D.

if your Pi is running 64-bit Raspian, do like (as the root user)

wget get.docker.io
sh index.html
docker run --net=host faddat/blurt-pi /usr/bin/blurt --data-dir /blurtd

The image is ready for your raspberry!

Oh, and it is CHEAP. I reckon we can put blurt on $50 in hardware. Memory usage is way lower than I expected.

Whooohooo! Thank you! Watch for the presence of a new node near Frankfurt! Is it possible to start a witness already?

Awesome. this is excellent news. Great job

The result exceeds all of my expectations by a very wide margin.

I think that SOS is going to serve its purpose very well indeed.

Figured that I would not have a working product for the blurt image builder, which is now called @megadrive -- until January at the earliest.

But having a native arm environment to do my development work in changed everything and let me work far more effectively.

The time invested in SOS is going to pay off personally I hope for the entire block chain ecosystem. The next chain that will use SOS will actually be Cosmos derived.

days ago I managed to configure a witness node on an Amd E_450 Apu hardware. I still do not do the post. It is unparalleled news that we can access this type of technology with low cost hardware

should be, yes

Do you know the first clip has no picture? For me, there is just sound in "SOS built with docker buildx". But maybe it's a fault on my side. Did you check it?

Here's a picture on my computer but does not when posted to YouTube. I will take that clip down.

Hive's HF24 has managed to reduce usage even more. We should learn from what they did and bring some of those improvements our way. Snapshots is something I'd want for Blurt too. Watched someone bring a hive witness to life in a few hours where most of the time was spent on getting the block_log file.
