Raspberry Pi 3 as validator?

[kanaas 1,827]

Was wondering if the latest Pi hardware with its ARMv8 processor could be used as a validator?

@nikb ?

It should work if it can run 64-bit code. RAM might be an issue, as might its generally slow I/O.

I had it working a while ago on a 2GB Pine A64+ board, which can be had for around $30

Any modification to run on ARM?

If it was an easy setup I'll do that.

This was a long time ago. If I get a chance, I'll fire it up again and see if it still works on the latest code.

What would be an above average configuration?
