| ========== | |
| 1. Attach external USB Thumb drive enclosed to Raspberry Pi (must be done first) | |
| 2. Attach Ethernet Cable (not included) to your router | |
| 3. Plug in micro USB cable in to to any USB/Phone charger using cable provided | |
| 4. After a few minutes the device will begin syncing with the Bitcoin Blockchain | |
| 5. Go to your computer’s command line and type: | |
| >> ssh pi@fullnode.local | |
| Username: pi | |
| Password: raspberry | |
| 5. Bitcoin should start automatically in headless mode, to get started type: | |
| >> bitcoin-cli getinfo | |
| After a few moments Bitcoin should report errors but telling you that is Loading the Blockchain, Verifying Blocks etc. Please be patient, this can take some time but while you’re making a nice cup of tea you can feel good knowing you are supporting the Bitcoin network by distributing its database. | |
| You can also plug the Pi in to most modern TVs using an HDMI lead. Plug in a keyboard and mouse and type: | |
| >> startx | |
| This will load up the desktop mode. To load up Bitcoin Graphical User Interface type open up Terminal from top menu bar and type: | |
| >> bitcoin-cli stop | |
| You will need to wait a minute or so for Bitcoin Server to stop. Then type: | |
| >> bitcoin-qt | |
| You may get an error if you did it too quickly, no problem, just press the Up Arrow on your keyboard, hit return to try again. | |
| You may spend a long time on the “Activating Best Chain” progress report, this is a known issue in bitcoin and will be fixed in version 0.12. Once it loads you will be in the GUI where you can go to the menu and click Help>Debug Window to get nice graphs on network usage. | |
| It is not recommended that you use the Fullnode as a wallet. Though if you want to play around with the JSON RPC it’s fine to put small change on it just for experimentation. | |
| A signed Certificate of Authenticity is in your Home folder. If you want one which identifies you personally these are available on request. | |
| Have fun and remember there’s more to come beginning 6th January 2016. Thank you for supporting the cause. From everyone at ProTip and the Fullnode project we hope you have a wonderful holiday season. | |
