Post-sapling zcashd - on a Pi?

I now have zcashd running on a Pi 3B using the cross-compiled binaries built from this link Trying to build on ARM - #4 by str4d

You need to run the Pi with a 64 bit OS so you can run the ARMv8 build and there are no officially supported ones (i.e. Raspian definitely won’t work). I used this Debian release GitHub - bamarni/pi64: A 64-bit OS for the Raspberry Pi 3 which works nicely. I also had to do the ARM cross-compile on Debian (I also used Stretch) as cross-compiling on a newer Ubuntu release led to dependency errors.

It’s currently syncing the testnet, albeit slowly, and will try to send a Sapling tx once that is complete.
