Raspberry Pi

[Gardner McKay]

I am looking at picking up a few Raspberry Pi 3's. I have never used them before and know squat about Linux.

I will be using them to run a few cryptocurrency masternodes (you stake a certain # of coins and open up a node, this in turn helps further decentralize the project). Raspberry Pi is perfect because it is inexpensive and the nodes I am running don't use a ton of ram.

I have some spare monitors at my house as plenty of spare cables.

Any suggestions when buying one or do's/do not's?

My one suggestion is be sure that you are getting a powerful enough power supply. I believe 3a is the recommendation, but it's been awhile - you may want to look it up.
