Monetize Raspberry Pi with Mysterium
How install and run a node on a Raspberry Pi device
Mysterium Network is a decentralized VPN service that allows users to rent their spare bandwidth to earn cryptocurrency. By running a Mysterium Node on your Raspberry Pi, you can contribute to the network and earn MYST tokens in return. This is a passive income opportunity that requires minimal setup and maintenance.
Installating a Mysterium Node on a Raspberry Pi is a simple process that can be completed in a few minutes. Once you have installed the node, you can start earning MYST tokens by sharing your bandwidth with other users on the network. Read the official madual to get started.
I’m recommending to install in a Docker container, but you can also install it directly on the Raspberry Pi.
Read Official documentation for more information.
You can get a Mysterium Node preloaded on a Raspberry Pi delivered to your door, but we honestly recommend you get one at a store nearby and follow our guide below.
