RE: How to Install a Gridcoin Wallet on a Raspberry Pi
@roboticmind , it returned a great deal of errors below:

it's working right now thank you very much!
I'm getting a warning when I type "sudo gridcoinresearch", is it an issue? you can see it below:
"libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate"
@confuest,
As to the warning, if GUI (graphics user interface) is working. If it is then it's not a problem. If it isn't then it's not too hard to fix.
Also, I will tell you a command to delete all the now unnecessary files that were downloaded:
rm libminiupnpc8_1.6-3ubuntu2_armhf.deb && rm libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u6_armhf.deb && rm libboost-all-dev_1.55.0.2_armhf.debNOTE: make sure you type this command correctly as parts of it delete files.
I'm glad that I could help!
@roboticmind
I upvoted the post TY very much, where can I find the wallet.dat and the config file?
@confuest,
The wallet.dat file should be generated automatically, it stores your private key

@roboticmind - I commend you on your rad skills here. I am up and rolling with my grid wallet, and joined the seti project which is also running on the same pi as grid. Is this ok? How long until I see some grid being accumlated, and do I need to stake grid coin in the wallet first to get it going?
@smiller I would personally not recommend running BOINC on an rpi. Running BOINC and the Gridcoin wallet on the same rpi might run into ram issues (depends on the model). For the whole question of when will you earn them, that depends on different factors. Are you solo mining or pool mining? If you are pool mining you will earn them faster. If you are solo mining it will take longer and require Gridcoins in your wallet to do so. I would recommend at least starting by pool mining, pools like grcpool.com. You only need to stake to get it going if you are solo mining. Here are some other references sites
For starting pool mining:
https://grcpool.com/
For general Gridcoin Information:
https://www.gridcoin.us/
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I'm more interested in the technical feasibility of running gridcoin and boinc on the same raspi 3. I ran Seti for awhile but ran way hot and was overclocking. Now I'm running Primegrid and boinc, and the grid wallet and its running smooth so far. My question is which is the most profitable project to run on the pi? and I haven't been able to figure out what my CPID is on the PI. I have BAM and have an overall CPID that I am using. I'm running Seti and Primegrid on another laptop on my LAN, so am confused how to get the CPIDs working together. Also I was able to get my private key added to the config file, but don't know what the public key is. Any help is appreciated.
