6/23/22 Report:

Previous Milestone:

As a recap of this proposal we are expanding upon our learning from our completed Fund 7 Proposals: and our where we found that there was major roadblocks for Raspberry Pi based hardware due to supply chain shortages, but huge opportunity with low cost hardware using a M.2 NVME drive to expand RAM on low end devices. We envisioned using similar hardware such as a Rock Pi with its onboard M.2 NVME expansion to improve on the learnings with managing a full node by increasing the RAM virtually and actually getting devices in the current supply chain shortages. (USA)

Progress: Our first step was making sure we have the hardware needed to test our theories and setup a node on a Rock Pi. Following Materials have been purchased to begin our experiments setting up a node and expanding the low (4GB) RAM with a virtualized SWAP. - (4GB) - - - better options exist if shipping from China. Finally we will be using this Thingiverse File for holding the M.2 SSD in place.

Next Steps: Tinkering! We will be starting from the previous deployment experiment from our Easy Cardano Node to see what roadblocks come up with deploying a better node.

Roadblocks:

None
