I had to do an edit to config.txt and set the HDMI type to basically 640x480 so as to get the screen to be readable ... This is on 1.7RC3

Thanks for testing .. can you share your edit? Could make sense to add this when users are switching to HDMI automatically for v1.7.1

@rootzoll rootzoll added this to the 1.7.1 Release milestone Apr 23, 2021

in config.txt

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=3 
gpu_mem=128

This sets it to essentially 640x480 mode ... It's not a perfect fix but hella better than 1920x1080 and tiny.
I also boosted vidram to 128 - the refresh rate works better there for some reason at 2mb it would freeze -- it is possible that 64mb would work. All I know is at 2mb it would work for ~15 mins and then stop.

Complete reference here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md
Honestly - if there was a way to more easily edit config.txt ... that would be awesome. I am not sure how that whole thing works (how the fonts / display of it works in relation to the HDMI output, etc.) ... The unit that it is attached to is a non interactive (non touch) panel that can do 1900x1080 max resolution on HDMI.

Little note warning that Channels Autopilot triggers a reboot which can be confusing for newbies and frustrating for demos.

As discussed in:
raspiblitz#1993 (comment)

* Pool: Remove stale symlink on cleanup (raspiblitz#1957)

* mempool: drop database if exists (raspiblitz#1960)

* Bump mempool to v2.1.2, use SSD for mempool cache data (raspiblitz#2014)

* Always set maxmempool to 300MB in bitcoin.conf (raspiblitz#2007)

When the mempool fills up to around 500MB, this causes the mempool.space
backend to crash on RPI due to OOM. Additionally, raising this above
300MB on a local RPI node arguably isn't a good idea anyway, because:

* If you have a 512MB mempool and all your peers have 300MB, you'll broadcast transactions that fit in your mempool but are rejected by all of your peers
* If you connect an SPV wallet to your node, your wallet will think the TX is "in the mempool" despite actually being purged from the entire Bitcoin P2P network, and never attempt to rebroadcast the purged TX
* In any case, the RPI has very limited RAM, so no point in wasting RAM
on having such a large sized mempool for bitcoind

* lnd.conf: add tls settings, improve startup time (raspiblitz#1943)

* raspiblitz#1993 Adding Lightning Terminal Menu integration (raspiblitz#2077)
