PS3 hardware used for a Ubuntu-based Ravencoin validation node
I know, I know..
There is better hardware available, but as an interesting project, I was thinking about setting up an old PS3 as a Full Validation Node.
Yeah, it will consume 100x the electricity a Raspberry Pi would, but you're still only talking about an estimated 70-100 watts. It´s not about being the most efficient, but more supporting the network with on-hand/super-stable hardware.
I´m thinking of it like a repurposing vibe. Everything you need is already there sitting in your closet collecting dust.
If you can think of any technical reason to move forward, let me know.
