You can follow the instructions in the link to create your own, or you can use the scripts provided here to get up and running with faithcoin. This article will focus on using a Litecoin-based cryptocurrency which was created in a previous hackster article known as faithcoin. We can go even further and host these nodes behind a load-balancer within our k8s cluster to ensure that we have a resilient network capable of handling whatever the max theoretical limit of our network and combined computational powers of our Raspberry Pis can handle. Furthermore, we can take advantage of the fact that ARM compatible binaries of k8s exist run this network on a cluster of Raspberry Pis. This allows us to describe what a deployment should look like in a simple configuration file and the k8s orchestrator takes care of the rest. k8s accomplishes this feat by deploying Docker containers based on hosted images to meet a desired state configuration. With the adoption of Kubernetes (k8s), we can deploy a scalable, reliable, distributed network of nodes to ensure uptime on our theoretical network. Let's hypothetically assume that you want to create your own cryptocurrency and are in need of deploying a network of nodes to facilitate this operation. This ledger contains all transactions which have ever occurred in the history of the network, as agreed upon by a consensus of nodes which notify each other of their respective transaction histories. Cryptocurrencies operate on the concept of P2P communication to distribute information about the state of the "ledger" or accepted transaction history on the network at large.
