A quick post on how I resolved my issues with my RaspiBlitz device, which acts as one of my dedicated bitcoin nodes.
The Problem
The White Screen of DEATH!! This initially occurred when I was attempting to update the version to a new major version that included a GUI update. I was unsuccessful at the first attempt, I then was moving so this node was packed up in a box and I’m finally getting back to it months later.
The Solution
-
Download a fresh RaspiBlitz image
a. I followed the instructions listed on the Readme: SD Card Flash Instructions
-
Insert the new SD card into the RaspiBlitz device.
-
Go through RaspiBlitz Setup
a. My First screen looked like this below to kick off the setup.
b. update the software if required during setup.
-
Complete installation and setup my Bitcoin node.
And that was it for me, it ended up being just a bad / corrupted install so a fresh SD card flashed image resolved my issues. I went through a fresh RaspiBlitz setup process and am currently waiting for the Bitcoin blockchain to complete the sync process. Check ya later.
