chia-blockchain-gui VS clvm_rs

I needed make a question regarding the chia GUI installation on a raspberry pi 4. Sometimes the sync gets stuck for me so I go ahead and do a clean install, and use the mainnet db checkpoint from chia.net.

They host a snapshot of the db on chia.net so you no longer have to do a full sync so you could just grab the v2 and manually update the rest of the way which shouldn't take too long (not sure on the exact time i surmise less than a day or 2- its a long time since i've had to do a resync)

yes please upgrade. you have missed a lot. install the latest version from chia.net. upgrade your database HERE. Check your wallet for a Chia Friend

how is this any different than hosting the db on chia.net or github? it's still a single authority saying what the db consists of.

I read everything on chia.net, as well as the white paper. I learned how to farm plots on few HDDs for a test. Checked out most of docs.chia.net. Read through most of chialisp.com What can you recomend for me to read and or watch? Road map to folow? What are the real world use cases for XCH? What is XCH currently being used for? What can XCH be used for in the future (and why)? What are current plans to make XCH a reality (I'm not talking about popularity and fast cash, but usecases for corporations/goverment/public, code patches or new feachers)?

I know what you're saying and technically correct, but for all practical reasons the one on chia.net is the "official"

You could however take that drive. go to chia.net and download the software. Plot to that drive and earn chia coins.

I created a flash drive containing the chia client from chia.net. I used an old laptop I had lying around and formatted the hard drive. I installed windows (or any OS). Through the process of installing windows I never opted to connect it to the internet. Once the operating system was installed I inserted the flash drive containing the Chia client and installed the program.

Not a Chialisp developer, but are you thinking of more direct integration with rust implementation of the CLVM?

clvm-rs. Rust implementation of clvm.
