As you may have known, the EquiTrader project has switched to a PoS chain. The PoS gives an average profit of 30% per year for staking your coins.
Check here for the latest updates on the project: https://steemit.com/eqt/@virtualcrypto/equitrader-project-update.
Raspberry Pi is probably the best option for staking. It doesn't take much space, has low power consumption and is quiet.
However, the developers have not released a wallet version for Raspberry Pi, so if you want to use it, you need to compile it yourself.
This article is a guide for compiling and running the Equitrader (EQT) wallet on Raspberry Pi.
Here is some screenshots of the Equitrader (EQT) wallet running on my Raspberry Pi 2.
Follow these steps to compile the EquiTrader (EQT) wallet on your Raspberry Pi:
Step 1.
Download and install Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi.
Attention: The Eqt wallet does not compile with the latest Raspbian image so you have to download an older. This image worked for me:
http://director.downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2017-04-10/2017-04-10-raspbian-jessie.zip
Follow the official guide to install the Raspbian image to your Raspberry: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/
Step 2.
Log into the Raspberry, open a terminal and type the following to update the system to the latest software.
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt upgrade -y
Step 3.
Install the libqrencode library for allowing the wallet to generate QR images for your address ( https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.html.en )
cd ~
wget https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/qrencode-3.4.4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf qrencode-3.4.4.tar.gz
cd qrencode-3.4.4
./configure
make
make install
Step 4.
Clone the EquiTrader (EQT) wallet repository
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/equitrader/Equitrade.git
Step 5.
Compile the wallet (this step will take a while to complete):
cd ~/Equitrade
qmake
make
Done!
Step 5 has generated the wallet file in the current folder. Use the following command to run it:
./EquiTrader-qt
