Thank you for posting a link to that image. I had been trying to download the image from with no luck. About Ubiq UBQ Mining. I am trying to set up an ethereum node on a raspberry pi 2 B+. I copied the image to a 64 GB sd card and used it to boot my raspberry pi 2 B+.

I was able to SSH into the headless pi, and I used the instructions at the github page referenced previously to resize the system for a large sd card. The github instructions state that geth and eth should be preinstalled on the disk image, but I see no evidence of either. I don't know if I'm missing something obvious, but typing geth or eth at the command line only returns -bash: geth: command not found.

I tried compiling cpp-ethereum on the current Raspian jessie on the Raspberry Pi but. Mining on Raspberry Pi 2.

I've tried geth and eth via ssh as root user and as pi user; both return the same command not found message. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how I should proceed?

Deploying a private Ethereum blockchain on Azure and a Raspberry Pi 30 May 2016 As part of exploring the blockchain technology, and specifically the Ethereum ecosystem, I have settled on an IoT-related use case around solar energy grids. You can read more background in the.

In this post, I am going to focus on building a small private blockchain that I will later use to deploy Smart Contracts and build my solar energy marketplace demo on. I am going to use an to start a reasonably powerful mining node, and a to simulate an on-premises equipment running a lighter, non-mining node, but which can still be involved in blockchain transactions. We will be using, the Go Ethereum client, to set up our cluster. Since the blockchain is basically a peer-to-peer network, geth is used both as a client and a server connecting to the blockchain. The installation procedures are fairly straightforward, I will be going through all the steps in the next few paragraphs. Installation on the Azure VM You can start from one of the VM templates for Ethereum-Go, or you can install it from scratch on a base Ubuntu VM. In this documentation I will be starting from a blank VM, just because I want to understand how all the bits and pieces fit together.

You can follow the to install geth on your Ubuntu VM. I would recommend using the latest stable version, i.e. Do not add the ethereum-dev repository. Sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ethereum You can choose pretty much any you would like, but since it is going to be mining (i.e. Processing transactions) you probably want to go for a D2- or D3-class machine.

Once you have installed geth on the VM, we are ready to get started. First, to initialize a new private blockchain, we will need what is called a Genesis block, which is going to be the first block in our blockchain. This first block sets a few fundamental parameters for our blockchain, captured in a genesis.json file. Geth init genesis.json Once this is done, we are ready to run the geth console.

The console is a JavaScript runtime environment that exposes Ethereum’s JavaScript APIs and allows you to interact with the blockchain from the command line. When running geth, we use a specific Network ID to differentiate from the public blockchain (whose Network ID is 1), and the nodiscover and maxpeers options to limit network connections for now.

The goal is to make sure that we do not connect to the public blockchain by mistake. NewAccount () Once you have created an account, you can explorer the Ethereum APIs from the console, for example you can list existing accounts using eth.accounts, and you can see that our new account has been set as the “coinbase”, i.e. The account that will receive mining rewards, using eth.coinbase. Now we can start mining! The mining process is very verbose by default, so I suggest you use the tmux or screen commands to be able to open a separate, clean window to enter commands in the console. GetBalance ( eth.

Accounts [ 0 ]) After a while, the mining process will start and your account will start getting credited with Ether. Of course this is not “real” Ether, this is just our own private Ether currency! Gathering network information Now, let’s build up our network a little bit by adding the Raspberry Pi as a peer node.

In order to simplify things for this test/demo setup, I am going to configure direct connections, rather than using the Ethereum discovery protocol. In a larger private blockchain network, we would probably use bootstrap nodes in order to facilitate the discovery and connectivity of the different nodes. First, we need to retrieve the enode address of our VM, so the node running on the Pi can connect to it. From the console, type admin.nodeInfo.enode and you will something like this.
