Rpi is awesome but these days a N100 Intel mini pc is probably cheaper than a fully set up rpi 5.
#aksnostr And here I thought I understood bitcoin. And if I do - the answer is NOT. A raspberry node doesn’t contribute hashing power to the network and to change the network one needs to either control or convince 51% of the contributing network. Or - did I miss something? Somebody please clarify
I think you miss something. The nodes choose the rules they operate by and defend the immutability. The miners defend the transaction history. Obviously it's not the whole picture.
The write access happens when you refuse to provide goods or services for coins your node disagrees with.
You can be Elon Musk and yet without a node you won't achieve shit. Of course having more than one only gives you increased service availability but doesn't affect the network. And if your economic activity is not linked to your node it also has no effect.
