Yep lack of crypto makes it dog slow for so many things. Including running a little Monero node or whatever.
I would love to know why they chose to exclude this, it couldn’t make a big difference in price could it?
- rubyist5eva 6y ago> Yep lack of crypto makes it dog slow for so many things. Including running a little Monero node or whatever. Good. The last thing we need is profit mad crypto miners buying up every single Pi and we end up with shortages and insane prices just like with gaming GPUs.
- john_alan 6y agoRunning a node is about seeding the chain not mining, ofc. Also a free market means people can do with the stuff they buy as they wish. Whether I mine on it or stick it up my arse is just as valid as you gaming.
- rubyist5eva 6y agoDoesn't change the fact I'm glad they excluded features that make it unfavourable to crypto people - for any reason - so that I can buy a pi for what it's intended for at a decent price instead of wondering if people are buying them to shove them up their arse.
- sudosysgen 6y agoCrypto extensions will never make the rpi even remotely cost competitive with even very old GPUs. The main advantage will be general network ops.
- john_alan 6y agoI wouldn’t bother to educate someone so closed minded.
- rubyist5eva 6y agoJust because I don't want to shove a rasberry pi up my arse doesn't mean I'm closed minded.
- justin66 6y ago> Whether I mine on it or stick it up my arse is just as valid as you gaming. I now understand why the Pi Zero comes standard without the GPIO header.
- rubyist5eva 6y agoWell, that's no fun.
- api 6y agoHe said node not miner. There is no way a Pi even with AES could possibly be worth running as a miner.
