Some idiots are still running nodes on Raspberry Pis or Beagle Bones.
Exactly what is so idiotic about supporting the Bitcoin network by running dedicated devices as nodes (like Raspberry Pis) ?


they will soon run out of disk space and I don't think raspeberries are supposed to handle so much disk accesses, so it might reduce the life of the device

A 1TB drive attached to a Raspberry Pie doesn't run out of diskspace sooner then if it were attached to a Core i7.
I'm also not sure why it would die from "disk accesses".
