Can I use my GPU from MacBook Pro to do Pi node? #230

Open Nate-Liu opened 2 years ago

Nate-Liu commented 2 years ago

I have macbook pro with 8 core CPU and 16 GPU. From the docker I can see that the maximum number of CPU is 8 and no option for GPU. Is it possible that I could use GPU to do the Pi node?

Thanks!

Pi is not a proof-of-work type cryptocurrency - so it does not need loads of CPU/GPU power behind the node. It is a "proof of consensus" cryptocurrency built on Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) which is pretty forgiving and light on resources. For now, any old mac or windows machine capable of running the latest docker desktop should be fine. (Linux will be added later)

Hi dear, I was trying to install a test node but the app is not detecting my open ports, I'm pretty sure that the problem comes from the image inside docker, nothing is running inside any container, could you please help me debugging that issue? Thanks in advance
