Palman, a security-focused Bitconner developer, explained that he is working on him Future proposalswhich allows users to redefine the way they interact with this distributed network.
The initiative, announced on June 12th without a release date, is called Parmanodl. Essential Solutions for Managing BitcoinFrom running nodes to practicing BTC-only mining using CPU to self-occustomizing Bitcoin via wallet electricity.
The technical basis for allowing Parmanodl to work is Parmanode, an open source software installed on a laptop or desktop PC. This program was designed Manipulate and update nodes of Bitcoin Complementary tools such as wallets, block explorer, and control panels within Palnode simplify technical tasks
At the time of this wording, the official Palnod site offers both new and reconditioned laptops, ready for its pre-installed software and operation.
Options include a laptop with an Intel I5 or I7 processor, a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, and a new MINIPC NAS server.
Newer laptops are available for sale, such as a 14-inch touchscreen and a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G12 with RAM memory between 144 GB and 32 GB (gigabytes) and an SSD solid disk between 2TB and 4TB (terabytes). According to the memory and storage selected, its price ranges from $3,000 to $3,200.
Also, as seen in the following photo, Lenovo’s laptops in that line were used and conditioned to use Parmanode software.
This project is presented as an independent initiative where Parman gets hardware devices primarily for laptops to install Parmanode software. Parman is responsible for recalibrating, distributing and selling computers.
Parmanodl: A complete system for interacting with Bitcoin
Parmanodl, which has not yet been released, will be available Pre-configured in Bitcoin Knots clientBitcoin core alternative for running nodes. It also includes an Electrum Server (including options such as Electrs, Electrumx, Fulcrum, etc.) that allows you to connect wallets such as Sparrow, Electrum, Specter.
All of these applications have been preinstalled and verified by PGP (Pretty good privacyor “very good privacy” in Spanish), the standard of encryption that ensures software integrity.
According to Parman, to process Bitcoin protocol data, Parmanodl has two TB (terabytes) solid disk (SSD) NVMEs. scam Much higher reading speed and slower speed More than traditional solid disks.
At the time of this article, Bitcoin’s Total Archive PESA 655 GB (gigabytes)therefore these two TBs are sufficient to store network information.
Can I weaken this laptop?
Parmanodl can undermine Bitcoin with the promise that “you can become a solo Bitcoin miner and win fat awards on the CPU.”
However, Palmann in his post made it subtle to say that the feature serves as an experimental introduction to beginners. Without pretending to compete on a large scaleprovides a gateway to Bitcoin without the need for special hardware.
It also provided no information about the processing power (hash rate) that this device may have, but since it is a CPU, it can be estimated that this power is much lower than an industrial ASIC.
Other quality of Parmanodl, Bitcoin Laptop
Parmanodl incorporates UDEV rules for integrating wallets such as Bitbox02 and ColdCard, which store offline private keys, to protect against unauthorized access.
Udev (English abbreviation) User Space/Development) This is a device management mechanism at the core of a Linux operating system. You are responsible for automatically discovering and configuring attached hardware, such as USB, disks, and in this case wallet hardware.
Parman, on the other hand, recommends connecting the equipment to current, although the device has a drum, to ensure immediate access to the balance. This allows for a controlled off in the case of energy reduction. This avoids the possibility of data corruption caused by unexpected power outages.
If corruption occurs, you may need to synchronize your network. It may take hours or days.
Parmanodl also includes a personalized Mempool ViewFinder for searching transactions using local data. This feature allows users to view transaction status and maintain the privacy and anonymity that Bitcoin tries to promote without resorting to public services such as Block Explorer.
Parmanodl allows users to activate a connection via TOR or I2P. Networks that hide IP addressesrelevant measures when performing transactions when monitoring digital activity is intensified.
Finally, Parman also emphasized that “extra contributions in Satosh” allow users to unlock advanced features via a configuration called Parmadrive. He describes it as a “sovereign data server” designed to replace centralized services such as Google and iCloud.
According to its publication, the variant incorporates all parmanodl (bitcoin, wallet, privacy) features, but is presented as a desktop PC, but allows customizations to adapt to the laptop format.
