One of my favorite projects of the last several months was a Raspberry Pi cluster: I’ve since set it up to run a local geth cluster, which makes running Mist or doing solidity development a little bit easier. Here’s a build list: 4 x SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter, Grey/Red, Standard Packaging (SDSQUNC-032G-GN6MA) 4 x Raspberry PI 3 Model B A1.2GHz 64-bit Read the article >>

To install geth on a raspberry pi, run these commands: wget https://gethstore.blob.core.windows.net/builds/geth-linux-arm7-1.6.6-10a45cb5.tar.gz tar -xvf geth-linux-arm7-1.6.6-10a45cb5.tar.gz cd geth-linux-arm7-1.6.6-10a45cb5 sudo mv geth /usr/local/bin/ Note: the geth binary I’ve chosen might be out of sync by the time you read this.

One of my favorite events during Boulder Startup Week was “Cryptocurrencies: the Race to the Next Major Protocols (FTP->HTTP->HTTPS->????)”.
