Just to clarify a bit... so a donation is or is not purchasing the node? Sorry, just a little confused on what the donation is.
A donation is NOT purchasing the node. If you donate it will help lower the cost of the node for someone else who applies for it. Eg. A $100 donation would lower the cost of the node by $4 for 25 people.
All donations are pooled together at the end of the month. If we get a good amount of donations, we would be giving away nodes for little to no cost.
Great project.
Is there a way to access/extend the RPC command from the nude, for example, using serial communication?
Also, would there be 1TB prune supported devices with this feature ^ (later in the future), I could see larger companies using them various purposes.
You are able to SSH into the node on a local connection. I'm using the Android app ConnectBot on one of our test units.
Support for harddrives should arrive soon so you should be able to run nodes on a 1TB drives in the future.
