Markus Guler Describes the Device
The following are the words of Markus Guler in a video where he described the staking pool device called Cardano on the Rocks.
Read his statement below:
“What we are seeing here are the first three prototypes and nodes of the Cardano on the Rocks running on the Linux system, operating system, Jormungandr and above all, on the Cardano network.
“We created project files that everyone can 3D print. In terms of energy costs, these devices are very energy-efficient. And so the cost per year is less than $30.
“At the moment, we see three devices connected with just around a little bit less than 12 watts. So, one node consumes four watts. And this allows you to run these nodes 24 hours a day. This allows the whole device to run with passive cooling only.
“So it’s a passive cooling on the bottom. And no moving parts. For the device itself, there is an ARM-based CPU (a six core CPU, four gigabytes of RAM), and it allows not only the little SD cards that are a little bit unstable when they run over a long time, but we can also use the so-called eMMC cards or even NVME modules for the storage of the blockchain and the operating system itself.
The device itself can be ordered on different online stores in China, Europe and America. It requires a little bit of experience to assemble the device, but the published guidelines with the step by step descriptions should help. And that everyone who wants can create his own little Cardano on the Rocks stake pool node.”
