Algorand on IoT Gateway

[fabrice]

Welcome to Algorand!

@mjanke

• Can Algorand run effectively on ARM-based devices with much less RAM memory than typical miners (think 2 GHz, Quad-Core ARM with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of Flash memory)?

You will not be able to run a node with less than 2GB of RAM.
Running a node also requires significant amount of bandwidth, which most IoT devices would not be able to handle.

Why do you want to run a node as opposed to have the IoT sensor communicate with an API service or an external node?

@mjanke

• Does the Algorand API allow for us to enable a stake pool delegation amount based on things like the number of active Gateways (Algorand nodes) and the amount of Sensor data that these Gateways process?

There is no delegation of stake currently on Algorand.
Note also that there are no rewards associated with participating in the protocol: see General Frequently Asked Questions | Algorand Foundation

@mjanke

• Does Algorand have tech resources that are available for a conversation to answer the above questions and others that may pop up?
