You can improve the speed of your syncing by setting the -cache flag to 25-50% of your system memory. The Ethereum blockchain takes days to download, even in fast sync mode (which is default with geth).

The Pi firmware update from September 2020 allows this boot-from-SSD functionality out-of-the-box for certain OS images. When you flash a Raspberry Pi image to SSD and set up the Pi that way, things work just as though you started with a 1TB SD Card (except the SSD is much faster and more reliable).

I had an old WD Passport 1TB portable HDD that was fully operational with the Pi… i.e. I ended up scrapping my progress and starting over a few times because I learned hard (but worthwhile, educational) lessons.

If you’re looking for the fastest way to get running with an Ethereum Node on a Raspberry Pi 4, check out this pre-configured disk image from Ethereum.īeing the proud nerd that I am, I chose instead to install and configure everything myself, from scratch. Read on for a summary of things I learned while running an ethereum node and mining with the Pi for a couple weeks in December, 2020. However, these resources don’t talk about resource consumption, memory usage, performance constraints, and whether it is possible to mine with a Pi (spoiler: yes, it is possible, but definitely not profitable!).

There are plenty of resources out there to help newcomers get up-and-running with a bitcoin or ethereum node on a Raspberry Pi. I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 4 with the intention of using it to explore the compute side of the cryptocurrency world.
