New Raspberry Pi Runs Full Bitcoin Node for $35
As Bitcoin mining becomes more competitive, the hardware used becomes more sophisticated (read: spendy). The cost to run a Bitcoin node, however, is moving in the opposite direction: down.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation just released the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. It features 1 GB of RAM and will perform “at least 6x” faster than the previous model, the B+. It sells for about US$35 and can be bought for bitcoin.
