chia-blockchain-gui VS pool-reference

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.

Chia-Network/pool-reference: Reference python implementation of Chia pool operations for pool operators (github.com)

Btw, details at https://github.com/Chia-Network/pool-reference

You are in azpool.org project? How is the implementation of singleton going? Mariano just update pool-reference

We are already working on implementing a pool based on official protocol because the chia team released some code (https://github.com/Chia-Network/pool-reference) our pool will be transparent (official protocol doesn't need to "steal" your private keys or to install untrusted software to work), with very low fees and transparent (every reward registered on the blockchain).
