Bitcoin Node with RaspiBlitz
You’re not going to get rich mining Bitcoin on a Raspberry Pi. Even with dedicated ASIC mining hardware it’s hard to compete with industrial operations in countries with subsidised electricity supplies. The story is the same for other cryptocurrencies too – see www.tomshardware.com/ uk/how-to/mine-cryptocurrency-raspberry-p.
Yet you can still use to turn your Pi into a full Bitcoin node. This helps the Bitcoin network be more decentralised, and by extension more secure. If you run your own node, and store your bitcoins locally, then you’re essentially self-sovereign – you haven’t entrusted your keys to others and you aren’t relying on other nodes to supply correct information. To quote the manual: “Not your node, not your rules”.
