I have created a new bootstrap.dat file (August 27th 2018). I have tested it with the Blackcoin Legacy client and works fine, just really slow import!. Will test it later this week with Lore on RPi3.

Nice guide, thanks for putting it together. I was thinking of getting a RPI3 so this will come in handy!
How to using Raspberry Pi 3 B+ （mining BlackCoin）
Part 1
FORMAT YOUR SD CARD
It is best to format your SD card before copying the NOOBS files onto it. To do this:
1. Visit the https://www.sdcard.org SD Association’s website and download SD Formatter 4.0 for either Windows or Mac.
2. Follow the instructions to install the software.
3. Insert your SD card into the computer or laptop’s SD card reader and make a note of the drive letter allocated to it, e.g. G:/
4. In SD Formatter, select the drive letter for your SD card and format it.
DOWNLOAD
We recommend using an SD card with a minimum capacity of 8GB.
1. Using a computer with an SD card reader, visit the Downloads page.
2. Click on NOOBS, then click on the Download ZIP button under ‘NOOBS (offline and network install)’, and select a folder to save it to.
3. Extract the files from the zip.
DRAG AND DROP NOOBS FILES
1. Once your SD card has been formatted, drag all the files in the extracted NOOBS folder and drop them onto the SD card drive.
2. The necessary files will then be transferred to your SD card.
3. When this process has finished, safely remove the SD card and insert it into your Raspberry Pi.
FIRST BOOT
1. Plug in your keyboard, mouse, and monitor cables.
2. Now plug the USB power cable into your Pi.
3. Your Raspberry Pi will boot, and a window will appear with a list of different operating systems that you can install. We recommend that you use Raspbian – tick the box next to Raspbian and click on Install.
4. Raspbian will then run through its installation process. Note that this can take a while.
5. When the install process has completed, the Raspberry Pi configuration menu (raspi-config) will load. Here you are able to set the time and date for your region, enable a Raspberry Pi camera board, or even create users. You can exit this menu by using Tab on your keyboard to move to Finish.
LOGGING IN AND ACCESSING THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
The default login for Raspbian is username pi with the password raspberry. Note that you will not see any writing appear when you type the password. This is a security feature in Linux.
To load the graphical user interface, type startx and press Enter.
Refer to our documentation for more information：https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/noobs.md

Install BlackCoin Lore wallet for Raspberry Pi and Syncing
Open the terminal from the taskbar
To create a swapfile on your Raspberry Pi you can use the following commands:
1) /etc/dphys-swapfile'>
2)
After creating the swapfile, you have to activate it once by using this command:
3)
Install Blackcoin Lore wallet
1. Now we are going to install the Blackcoin Wallet for ARM. Download the arm version of the Blackcoin Lore wallet from: https://github.com/janko33bd/bitcoin/releases/tag/v2.12.1.0-3d52c88
2. Next open the terminal from the taskbar and type
3. Open up the File manager go to downloads and unzip the arm32.zip file.
4. Open the unzipped folder and copy the four files from contained within to the Blackcoin-Lore file you created.
5. Once the files have copied over. We are going to download the bootstrap to the computer to speed up the sync. Download the bootstrap from https://mega.nz/#!R64nQARY!o8Ovl-2OLWMF6quSfpEXPEbcsmHiLhPegSnaHQXgR6I or https://mega.nz/#F!ru5lTJSD!3Ysa0Whk4Nyztc9xfu8pjQ，（new version created by Michel elder）
6. Once you have the bootstrap downloaded extract the file and then place it in the Blackcoin-Lore directory. You can do this by dragging and dropping the file in the file explorer.
7. Open the terminal from the taskbar.
8. In the terminal type in
9. We now need to change the permissions on the files type in
10. Next type in
11. It is also important to note that once you start running <./lored> the terminal window that was used will no longer be able to be used to enter commands. So once it starts you can either close out that terminal window or just leave it up.
12. In order to make sure we are syncing we have a couple options. We can either tail the program or we can use the getinfo command. Use whichever you think is easiest.
13. Once a new terminal tab opens type in
14. To use getinfo open a new terminal and make sure you are in Blackcoin-Lore. If not in the Blackcoin-Lore folder navigate to it using and then type in <./lore-cli getinfo>
15. Congratulations you are now running a full node!
Importing your Private Key and Staking
1. Once your node has finished syncing up the the current block height we need import are private key to access our current funds.
2. Open a terminal from the taskbar. Type in
3. Now we need to either import a private key or generate a new address. Please use whichever method you like.
4. When we import a private key we are going to need the private key of the wallet and also we are going to want an account name for it. The account name can be whatever you want. I personally use main for my primary address.Once we have the private key we want to type in this command <./lore-cli importprivkey YourPrivateKeyGoesHere AccountName> and hit enter. Once this begins the program will rescan the blockchain to find any transactions associated with that private key and import them.
5. If you don’t have a private key we are going to generate a new address and give it a name. To do this we type in <./lore-cli getaccountaddress Main>
6. Once that is done we can check our wallet info using <./lore-cli getwalletinfo>
7. This will show you your wallet version, balance, unconfirmed balance, and other information.
8. Once you have confirmed your information is correct we can then get ready to start staking.
9. First thing we need to do is encrypt our wallet. Type in the command <./lore-cli encryptwallet YourPassPhrase>
10. Once this is done the node itself will stop and will require you to restart it. But before we do that we need to create a config file and add a command to enable staking.
11. Once the node is stop we want to move back to the home directory. So in the terminal type in
12. Once we are in the home directory we want to type in
13. In order to start staking easily we are going to make a configure file to start staking once the wallet/node is up and running. In the terminal type in
14. Once it opens type in
15. Now in the terminal type in
16. Once you are back in the Blackcoin-Lore directory we want to restart the node. So in this terminal type in <./lored> or <./lored -daemon> to start the node again.
17. Once the node has started up you can open a new terminal window in the Blackcoin-Lore directory. In order to check that you are staking you can type in <./lore-cli getstakinginfo> and the first line should return as True which lets you know that you can now stake.
18. In the terminal we no have to type in the command to let us stake. The command syntax is broken up into three parts. Your passphrase, the amount of time in seconds you want to unlock the wallet, and a boolean. For the boolean variable if you want to stake you set it to true and if you don’t you change it to false.
19. So if you wanted to stake for 24 hours you would type in the command, your passphrase, 86400 and true.
20. Example: <./lore-cli walletpassphrase YourPassPhraseHere 86400 true> and now your wallet would stake for 24 hours.

Useful command：-
0. Terminal main directory to Blackcoin Lore directory：cd Blackcoin-Lore
1. Start the blackcoin node again：./lored or ./lored -daemon
2. Check status info：./lore-cli getinfo
3. Check wallet info：./lore-cli getwalletinfo
4. Check staking info：./lore-cli getstakinginfo
5. Start staking blackcoin：./lore-cli walletpassphrase ＜yourwalletpassphrase＞ 999999999 true
（999999999 is staking time for 31years）
6. Stop staking blackcoin：./lore-cli walletpassphrase ＜yourwalletpassphrase＞ 999999999 false
（after stop staking blackcoin，then you could send blackcoin to address）
7. Send blackcoin to address：./lore-cli sendtoaddress ＜blackcoin address＞ ＜amount＞
8. Get your private key：./lore-cli dumpprivkey ＜your blackcoin address＞
9. Get your back up wallet files：./lore-cli dumpwallet ＜file name＞
10. Check the node info：tail -f \.lore/debug.log
（this command use in terminal main directory）
11. Check other commands：./lore-cli help
I wish could help newbie easy staking/mining Blackcoin
Blackcoin max transaction per day 1,440,000（more than Ethereum，ETH max 13transaction per sec）
Blackcoin transaction speed around 60sec （faster than bitcoin）
