NOTICE: This shopping list still needs testing of listed components - please report if you have bad experiences or ideas for better cheaper updates.
The new shopping list comes in three different packages: Minimal, Standard & Maximal:
The "Standard Package" is most tested and recommended if you can effort it. It aims to give you the best economic value to run all the RaspiBlitz features at a good performance and even allows you to self-validate your blockchain in under 3 days.
- RaspBerry Pi 4 2GB + Power: amazon.com
- ShimFan Cooling: amazon.com
- 500GB SSD: amazon.com
- SSD-Case: amazon.com or amazon.com
- Micro SD-Card 32GB: amazon.com
- LCD-Display: amazon.com or amazon.com or sparkfun.com
- RaspberryPi-Case: thecryptocloak.com (SELECT Rpi4!)
The minimal package aims for the cheapest price and allows you to use old hardware. It will always be possible to run all the basic features of a Bitcoin- & Lightning-Fullnode, but the system might be too slow to validate the blockchain history by itself and run some resource intensive extended services.
Basic Parts for all minimal variants:
- 1TB Hard Drive: amazon.com
- Micro SD-Card 16GB: amazon.com
- LCD-Display: amazon.com or amazon.com or sparkfun.com
If you have already a used RaspberryPi 3 B+ you can reuse with the following parts:
- RaspBerry Pi 3: amazon.com
- Power >=3A: amazon.com
- Heatsink-Case: amazon.com
Or if you order new go with the RaspberryPi 4 2GB and the following parts:
- RaspBerry Pi 4 2GB + Power: amazon.com
- ShimFan Cooling: amazon.com
- RaspberryPi-Case: (waiting for a cheap RP4 case from thecryptocloak.com - you can run without for now)
The maximal package is still in the works ... if you want to prepare for it, take the standard package as a base and choose the RaspberryPi4 with 4GB and a high quality 1TB SSD instead of 500GB.
