Get Your Raspberry Pi Bitcoin Full Node on Kickstarter

raspnode

Raspnode is an interesting crowdfunding project on Kickstarter that wants to help people that would like to support the Bitcoin network by running a full node, but don’t want to burden their home computer and deal with the power costs and noise. The raspnode is a plug-n-play bitcoin full node the size of a mouse that runs without any noise and only costs a penny or two a day for power. The raspnode allows anyone to run a bitcoin full node 24/7. The raspnode can be used as a Bitcoin wallet, a developer node for either mainnet or testnet, or simply to support the network. The raspnode project has a $3000 USD goal and backers can just support the idea, or also get a USB flashd rive with the blockchain and/or an SD flash card to use along a RPi they already own. You can even get the whole package ready to be plugged in used for a $120 USD as an early bird or $135 USD as a regular backed when the limited early bird units are over. The official website has a DIY guide for everyone that wants to setup a full Bitcoin node with his own RPi hardware if you already have everything available.
