[Passed] Proposal to fund development of NuBox (Peerbox port)

[cryptog]

Btw, in terms of performance, i suppose you guarantee that your code will be working well on Pis with their memory limitation, which seems it was not the case with existing Pi binaries.

EDIT: typo
EDIT2: ponctuation

This is not part of the grant and depends on the Nu source code.

2.1.1 (once it’s complete) will require much less RAM than 2.0.3.
For 2.0.3 I say, the hardware requirement is 1 GB RAM.
2.1.1 should do with 512 MB RAM.

The RAM requirements are based on my experience so far.
It might differ, if you have a lot if NSR in your wallet, which require additional RAM (at least when minting). This is what e.g. @mhps wrote and it makes sense.

I just hope that before nubox is completed a new Rpi with 2GB ram will be out

[masterOfDisaster]

Get an ASRock BeeBox and put 16 GB RAM in it

[cryptog]

What are the main differences between NuBox and Nu Pi binary?

[masterOfDisaster]

Other than

• Standards compliant, GPG signed Debian repository for NuBox (arm and x86_64)
• Signed Nu wallet binaries with accompanying tools
• Port of peerbox command with extended, Nu specific commands
• Documentation on how to install and use NuBox
• Any feature that users need but I have possibly omitted in this post with condition that it is communicated in first two weeks since motion passes and is not excessive/unrealistic

?

I seems that vote is close to 10% now (278,933,012/2,830,134,133) with not more than 6-7 addresses participating.

You need a data feed to take you up. @cryptog, @cybnate, @crypto_coiner are our three c’s of the data feeds. Without at least one data feed it’s very very difficult to get something passed.

Yes, what do you guys think? I think it’s pretty straightforward and we’re lucky to have Peerchemist on board for this project going forward.

It’s also a step in the direction of getting support for BCE, which may be more important for the anonymity of reputed signers. Let’s officially establish a working relationship with Peerchemist on Nu first though, and then we’ll see what the future brings.

Yeah! Especially the built-in TOR support is a nice feature!
Maybe not all reputed signers are savvy, nor should they necessarily need to be!
NuBox would indeed be a step into the right direction that can be had at $4k.

I want to know if nubox would make it very easy for someone to set up a nu client into a Pi.
I have a Pi (that I bought when I wanted to try peerbox 2y ago btw ) but I did not try to install the Nu binaries into it because it looks cumbersome and a bit buggy.
Will NuBox be very easy to install?

[masterOfDisaster]

Will NuBox be very easy to install?

Install Raspbian on your RaPI.

sudo apt-get install nubox

…or whatever the package might be called.
Run it.
Done.

Have a look here to see how easy it’s for the Peercoin equivalent:

Peerbox-testing

[peerchemist]

Exactly.
However this is more accurate tutorial on how to install Peerbox: https://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=4468.msg42262#msg42262

It is left to user to install Raspbian as underlying OS, after that it is just
sudo apt-get install peerbox.

NuBox will be just the same.

About 48h since voting started proposal is at 117 votes (1.17%) and 539,569,314/3,017,361,624 SDD (17.88%) with not more than 6-7 addresses voting.

@peerchemist, sometimes it can take a little bit for a motion or grant to gain some momentum. There are a lot of things currently going on, so shareholder attention is probably spread out. I don’t see any reason why this won’t end up passing, but it’s possible it might take some time. I hope you can understand that.

@cryptog, @Cybnate, @crypto_coiner, do you have any other criticisms? I think we should get the ball rolling on this, so will you support it?

[Nagalim]

Super weird that the SDD is so high. Somebody’s pulling out some ancient NSR to support this.

[masterOfDisaster]

But where’s the support from the rest of the shareholders?
It’s not like Nu wouldn’t profit from this offer…

[peerchemist]

I was just commenting on latest stats to bump the thread up as it is Friday and I guess more people will see it. I know it is too early.

However it is a fact that those who run the data feeds have not enlisted this into their feeds just yet even though they have participated in this thread.

[Sentinelrv]

I think maybe a lot of shareholders are super dependent on data feeds. That would explain it I think. I myself use one because I’m not always home to change voting.

[masterOfDisaster]

It’s on voting for 3 days now.
That level of support without discussion or suggestions how to improve it, is…

Well, it reminds me of the upgrade of the BCE client. I better stop here.
