Raspberry pi makes it Possible to Run a Monero Node Contributing to the XMR Network

Those who are interested in acquiring Monero should check out the excellent guide written by Monero Outreach.  There are several ways to buy #Monero. Some methods are more private than others.

Someone pointed to how Monero means “money” in Esperanto. Further stating, it’s a constructed international auxiliary language. There are perhaps only a few thousand native speakers in the world.

Yet another user stated, Mono is money in Esperanto. In Esperanto, you can add suffixes and/or prefixes to add other meanings to the root concept -ero means a piece of the root word; therefore, Monero actually means “coin.”

The origins of Monero are much more complex and brilliant than one can imagine. We know there is a market for traceable transactions, which is Bitcoin. There will surely be a market for untraceable transactions, too (stealth store of wealth, privacy). Some of the Monero community members claim it to be the next Bitcoin. They call Monero the “Privacy edition.”

Running Monero Node on Raspberry pi is the hot talk in the community. Many of them are looking for a guide to do this. It is important now to differentiate between node and mining in this context.

Some of them were thinking that this is about a mini Monero mining setup. However, it is not. Technically and theoretically, one can mine on this, but it’s probably not worth it.

Users need to go to GitHub, and it pretty much gives you everything you need to get going. Users are asked to configure boot from USB, though, as an SD card does not last as long as a regular SSD drive.

Someone asked:  I recently thought of doing this! I have 2 RPi lying here. Are you just running your own operating system? Or are you running a specific operating system for this node?

Those who have RPis are already running a node, not mining.

Someone who tried mining stated, “I had a mining setup but kept getting kicked from the pool.” Others acknowledged saying, technically true. It is essential to understand, It just stores a copy of the blockchain and supports the network. You could technically mine with it, but it’s such a small amount of hash it’s not worth it. 

When someone who was confused about mining and node asked, aside from expenses, how much is it making? The answer is, It’s not a miner; it’s just a node. You can contribute a node to keep the network going with your Raspberry – it is not about mining at all.
