Trying to build on ARM

Technical Support
131

Is there any way ECC or someone could make this whole process of building/deploying nodes on ARM better?

One of the criticisms I have heard about Zcash is that there are only 300ish network nodes. I think this is due to

  1. Running a full node takes more time/space to do.
  2. 16 week cycle for mandatory updates
  3. Is confusing for newbs
  4. Lack of proper ARM support.

Perhaps there could even be some sort of out-of-the-box solution for users to buy or DIY a Casa style node: Bored at home? Try building your own Casa Bitcoin node - Decrypt

But to do this requires proper support and builds pushed for all platforms every 16 weeks. It’s got to be easy for newbs and not require constant cross-compiling to work.

Perhaps an idea for @ZcashGrants ?
