im sure a MN will run on this one

That looks pretty sweet but seems a little more pricey than the rPI.

Me too. Which one are you going to get? Is it hard to set up a MN on it?

Well we didn't set up a masternode we only set up the Dash-QT, this guide helped me quite a bit as I took various bits from parts of it. When I was first helping him he had an older model rPI and we kept getting frozen on some of the steps. So he decided to upgrade and got the rPI 2. Today we successfully got the QT up and running. At the moment he is letting is sync and tomorrow he will import his backup wallet.dat.

After helping him I decided that if i did get one, it would be the rPI 2 as it is only 35$.

My only HDMI monitor has an Overscan "issue" - ugh
Cant see everything - ugh

few other issues to work out -


time for bed - ugh
 
Know how to resolve this issue?

trying to download DASH on my Pi and I get - :
- - - -
ERROR: The certificate of 'www.dashpay.io' is not trusted.
ERROR: The certificate of 'www.dashpay.io' hasn't a known issuer.
- - - -

it does connect to ip : 128.127.106.235

if I try to download straight from the IP address I get - :
- - - -
ERROR: The certificate of '128.127.106.235:443' is not trusted.
The certificate is expired..
The certificate's owner does not match hostname '128.127.106.235'
- - - -


???thoughts???
maybe I missed something
(fyi: not used the guide yet.......going to look at it now)



thx in advance





EDIT: - FIXED IT :)

I removed the "s" from the https://www......... and it worked :)
(which means I'm downloading from port 80 instead of port 443

\o/ YEAH


- okay - back to the build :-D


-THIS THING IS SOFA KING AWESOME :p




edit 2: and now I realize I can't just download it like that because it's not compatible - lol - ugh
still workin it

Hey MangledBlue, you are running the GUI on the PI? Overscan is something i had troubles with when i was trying get a mediaplayer running in my bedroom on the old pi. Check your monitor or tv menu to see if you can disable Overscan. Or just force a small resolution.

Anyway, im not using a GUI (check guide), im just putty myself into the Pi2 and do terminal only. Never even seen the GUI because i just dont care since its my dedicated MN ;)

I have no experience in tying to run the QT in GUI. I got Windows for that:oops:

Ow and you have to build your own MN and or QT because there isnt a download for ARM processors (yet)
 
Now compiled and downloading the blockchain \o/ yeah

I seriously have to say THANX to GhostPlayer and Propulsion - I could not have done this without you guys :p
I know you have not helped me recently - lol - but all the times in the past is now paying off \o/
fuking luv you guys :-D

AND - thx to this guide - huge help - I changed a few things to "my way" but still - very helpful guide \o/ WOOT!!!

Off to the store and the Casino while the blockchain downloads \o/ so happy right now


luvs ya moli :p
kisses

No way for me to turn-off overscan - my TV is my only HDMI and the scan is fixed - ugh
So I have to use the GUI - then terminal to code everything
I prefer that method for now
I'll figure out how to ssh into it later once I get it run in MN mode - \o/

Never used putty - I setup a VM with ubuntu and I just ssh in via terminal to terminal - way easy :p

I won't use QT here - only dashd for MN
I got this to replace my AWS since my free year is about up

lol - won $120 at Casino last week - damn thing was free to me - lol

right then - off to store and casino now
(mother called, got delayed)


bye for now

Here is a nice picture of a pi with a case.

Is it deliberately looking like Orac from Blake's 7 ?

Just sayin -
You should change the guide to tell people to COPY instead of move the dashd file
I'm having some troubles and might have to recompile just to get the dashd file back - ugh :-(

How about you rewrite the guide from your own experience, in your own words? Another guide doesn't hurt anyone.


And please don't waste so much space in your posts...


:tongue:
 
LOL - good ole moli :p

Whelp - MASTERNODE HOT ON THE Pi :)

This was pretty easy actually \o/

I'll give it a few days before I cancel AWS :)

Oh - Lost $4 at the Casino :-(
oh well........


edit: Got the Pi moved and is running headless - easy login with ssh :-D \o/ YEAH!!!!

done :-D

Seems that my port 9999 on home modem does not want to stay open - no matter what I try
Thoughts?
 
It was fine last night but I found it closed - via the port checker this morning - ugh

I'll just have to play with it - really want to use that Raspberry for the MN - I'll think of something - hummmmmmm
 
LOL - yep -
My dick is still hard for the RAZ Pi 2 b

All of my port issues seemed to be resolved - hopefully

The Pi is AMAZING !!!

I seriously see the Pi - like looking at my fathers IBM CLONE back in the day with (2) HDD's @ 40MB, dual floppy - moving forward with a HUGE potential

The Pi folks said that they don't see a new board coming out over the next 2-3 years which means I won't have to upgrade \o/ YEA - but on the downside - I WANT THAT UPGRADE !!!!
I'm sure it will be the shit when it does happen

I just hope that they don't sell-out to a fiat company for BIG fiat.......and ruin the charity/non-profit business model

Viva Raz Pi!!!
 
Whelp - for some odd reason my port is now staying OPEN and I didn't change anything (EDIT: guess I said that already = (_)]'s last night lol)
AND
I got paid on schedule - no dayz missed
SO
If you change your MN IP - you'll still get paid - if you leave everything else the same \o/ YEAH !!!!!
