Bitcoin Knots Developer Tells Node Operator to 'Buy a Normal Computer' After Raspberry Pi Sync Failure
- —The soft fork blocks miner coins for 45 days instead of the standard 100 blocks
- —A Raspberry Pi operator was forced into a full Initial Block Download resync
- —The August fork switched mining to BLAKE2b but drew no hashrate or major exchange listings
- —Dashjr said node costs rose long before BIP-110, blaming Bitcoin Core
Why it matters: The dispute over node affordability sharpens the conflict around BIP-110 and data limits in Bitcoin, with implications for network decentralization.
