- | The QORTector is intended to be open source hardware solutions that can be a cheaper alternative to those looking for a dedicated Qortal node. Qortal nodes need to be running 24/7 in order to stay synchronized to the chain.. If a node does not stay running 24/7, it will need to synchronize each time prior to making use of Qortal. Gen 1 was the OrangePi Prime H5 which has been discontinued by the manufacturer and wasn’t able to work properly as a full node. We have moved on to ' | ||

- | The QORTector Gen 2 device features a 500GB SSD storage, quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback (utilizing the latest Brooklyn kernel version)! The Gen 2 is a special purpose image for Raspberry Pi 4 Rev 1.1 and above that utilizes advanced crypto and server grade functions to facilitate minting and full featured accelerated desktop. Gen 2 has proven itself as a full replacement of standard x86 daily driver desktops at the expense of a fraction of power and resource utilization. All variants above Rev 1.1 for Pi4 up to 8GB RAM are supported out of the box. | + | The QORTector Gen 2 device features a 500GB SSD storage, quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback (utilizing the latest Brooklyn kernel version)!

+ | Crowetic Hardware Development (CHD) uses 3D printers to make custom casing for the device. For those making their own QORTector, the 3D printing files are available on the [[QORTector 3D Printing Files]] page for those interested in making their own case. Otherwise, any Raspberry Pi 4 case should work just fine, such as the Argon cases commonly used. | ||

The QORTector KB device features a 500GB SSD storage, quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback in a compact keyboard! The QORTector KB uses the Raspberry Pi 400 board, which has the computer board built into the keyboard. We then connect a SSD to the Pi, with a custom Brooklyn kernel, and provide a cheaper option to the QORTector Gen 2 design. | The QORTector KB device features a 500GB SSD storage, quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback in a compact keyboard!

+ | Soon to come! These new models with utilize the Rock Pi boards. Likely the 3A version first, followed by the 5. These will require their own Brooklyn versions of software which are under developement! |
