Shopping List: USA
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:
Package: Standard (around 250 USD)
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!)
Package: Minimal (around 180 USD)
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)
Package: Maximal
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.
