Preamble

Status: Draft 
Created: 2017-11-21

Summary

As a Status user i don't want to store ethereum blockchain data on my device and don't want ethereum node to drain my battery, also i don't want to use services like infura because it's not safe and in any case i need status node on my phone, and i want to store my messages during i'm offline, i need some cheap and plug'n'play solution, i want to buy it or make it by myself - StatusBOX?

Vision

We can manufacture it or user could DIY it, based on Raspberry Pi 3 — A 64-bit Pi with Built-in Wireless and Bluetooth LE. As a user i want to plug it into an electrical outlet, connect my Status app using Bluetooth, make some initial settings, connect it to my wi-fi network. Thats it, now my Status app working with StatusBOX, and i don't need node on my phone, and StatusBOX will store my offline messages. Also i can "mine" SNT, storing messages for other users.

Reminds me of an old project https://slock.it/ethereum_computer.html also we might want to speak with John Gerryts @phonikg of Project Oaken fame, as he builds Ethereum for Raspberry Pi.

Since this hasn't been touched in a while, closing it for now. We can re-open as we consider our entrance into the HW space.
