New to stealth - Is anyone using a Raspberry Pi???
 

Hello, first time to get blocked on Amazon and so this is my first day on your forum. I already bought and read Amazon Stealth.

I read all about the VMware and multiple PC options but wouldn't it just be easier to have a couple of Raspberry Pi mini computers each with its own 3G wireless card? The Raspberry costs $40 on Amazon Prime and runs Linux. Just plug into a monitor and operate from anywhere with a 3G signal. If the MAC address ever gets burned just flip the used RasPi on eBay and buy a replacement. Right now I have a RasPi setup as a media center but this sounds perfect for Stealth. Just have a stack of RasPi with a label on the outside to ID which Stealth Acct it manages.

Thoughts?

Backstory: I had worked my account up to $8,000 in monthly sales. All via FBA but I added too many Aliexpress products too quickly and one line of items sold 300 units with high returns and bad feedback. I couldn't respond fast enough and the account was closed down. I plan to go stealth and stay away from products that are too risky.

I don't see why you cannot use a Rasberry Pi for stealth. I use my the Raspberry Pi for XBMC, but it can obviously be turned into a mini PC w/ a working browser that can be used for stealth.

However, the Pi does have its limitations in terms of processing power. I can see drawbacks when trying to run multiple accounts. You would probably need a Pi for each stealth account. This doesn't seem feasible or scalable if you have 10 accounts.

I prefer the VMware option because I can run multiple accounts on my desktop and just have separate Windows accounts for each stealth. Each of my Windows account is running separate VMWare accounts also.

I don't run into performance issues because I have 3 hard drives (2 SSD drives and a standard 500GB internal drive as well).

So with 10 accts running on different VMs how do you address the issue with your router's MAC? Are you changing it for every login to each acct? I was just thinking that a plug 2 or 3 RasPi would be easy but I can see the challenge if you are talking 10+ accounts.

Your idea is extremely uneconomical and pointless. There's absolutely no need to use a new computer/LAN card for every account, burnt or not. There are plenty of ways to circumvent this.

I was basing it off of the suggestions in the stealth book (using a library, friends PC, buying a 3G USB adaptor, cleaning your Router's MAC). Which all seemed even more time consuming; But I guess those strategies didn't really apply to running so many stealth accts?

I see me needing at least three Amazon accts and then build up from there. I would appreciate suggestions on the ideal setup for running that many stealth accts. I am familiar with Virtual Machines; so I can setup each VM with its own VPN. Does that just leave the router MAC for me to remember to change?
