DISCLAIMER: I will be following the steps from this guide (https://learn.adafruit.com/diy-wifi-raspberry-pi-touch-cam/) for the early phases of this project.
For the first day, I just wanted to get the Raspberry Pi up and running with the OS. To do that I took the SD card and plugged it into my MacBook Pro and followed instructions here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-raspberry-pi-lesson-1-preparing-and-sd-card-for-your-raspberry-pi
After following the steps, I ejected the card and plugged it into the Pi. I plugged in all the peripherals and boom shaka laka it looked like this:
SD card plugs in underneath the board, Micro USB going to my laptop for power, keyboard and wireless adapter connected to the USB ports, and an HDMI cable going to my monitor. I first plugged everything else but power, then when I finally plugged in the power (and after a minute or two of booting) I got to the config screen:
Don't mind the toilet paper. I live by me onesie.
Success! I ran through the configuration as per the tutorial I was following and it went smoothly. The only thing that was different was that I decided I didn't need to configure the wireless network for now. There's only two USB ports, and my keyboard was already taking up one slot, so I decided to plug my mouse in instead of the wireless adapter.

There has been a great deal of value to me in my involvement with the project. Would like to share it with the womens leather credit card holder team so they can also read it and implement something new.

Wow, this is what I was looking for. I, at first, thought that someone must already have it and sell it so that my money can buy solution. But I cannot find any. More, I found that Electrum abandoned Zbar so that scanning QR code from bitcoin wallet is not supported since 2014.

I think there's a good reason to not just make a phone app. Having a dedicated device for something that needs security, like an anonymous and irreversible currency, seems like a smart idea.

That's a good point, didn't think of it that way :)

I'll be updating soon!
