ROKOS v8 "core" for Raspberry Pi 2, 3 screen shots "ROKOS" Initial Setup
How to burn the ROKOS .img to the SDcard: http://rokos.space/burn_sdcard.htmlSteps for first boot
* Raspberry Pi 2, 3: https://rokos.space/rokos_corepi.html* Pine64+: https://rokos.space/rokos_core.htmlExtra info command to auto-sync the OKCash chain in minutes:
a) Open terminal.
b) type:
./ok-sync-arm64.sh (this will download and unzip the latest ok-blockchain snapshot to the okcash datafolder)
c) start your wallet after the process is done and give it some minutes.
d) your OK wallet is ready to be used.
Welcome to the ROKOS Desktop
Final steps / BTC and OK Clients
a) Go to
Menu >
Blockchain and Click on the
Bitcoin Wallet
This will open the Bitcoin wallet with the option to select where we will be saving the BTC chain.
*For
BTC the initial sync will take some days, wallets are fully usable after being fully Synchronized.
b) Always remember to make constant backups of your wallets and save them in USB or external media.
Use your Bitcoin wallet to plug HW and mine BTC, Send/Receive Bitcoin,
become a full node and support the Bitcoin network, develop new applications,
etc, the limit is only in your imagination.
Important Security Notice:
*) Remember to create a backup for your Wallets, you can use the wallets to create them and save in different folders on a USB device.
You should ALWAYS have a backup of your wallet,
Pine64+,
Raspberry Pi and IoT Hardware, Debian and ROKOS Software are under development hence not responsible for missuses, electrical or compatibility issues that might cause a loss of information. It is as secure as one's ability to take care for it, same as a computer, so
always have a
backup of your wallets on an external device.
*) Some people tend to recommend getting a 128Gb MicroSD HC (High speed) , at the same time it does work, We do not recommend this solution, as microSD cards tend to get corrupted by the number of overwrites, to ensure the best functionality and security you should use an external HDD/USB storage device to store the chain.
You can start testing and developing new integration with the Bitcoin and OK Tech for your IoT projects.
