WD is offering 314GB PIdrive specially designed for raspberry pi 3 B/ 2 B.

http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/03/wd-314gb-raspberry-pi-pidrive/


I checked offical Western Digital store and there is HDD enclosure that fits under official Raspberry PI case. This might be useful to everyone who plan to run ROKOS bitcoin full node.

Great Tips! ROKOS has been optimized to run at a minimum of 8Gb microSD cards, (to provide options to every user)
The 32 Gb size is a great recommendation and gives the OS more storage power to work at.

Thanks to everyone involved, ROKOS would not be what it is without the different communities participation and users feedback.

Awesome! Let the Crypto Re-Evolution begin.

I've set up 4 Pis with ROKOS flavors and fully synced the Digitalcoin blockchain, nearly 2M blocks, on each. 3 of them will be given away at Coinfest UK.

I highly recommend a good micro SD card. I'm using 32GB SanDisk Ultra cards.

Yes, they struggle a little, but I expected as much using a device with a weaker processor and less memory than my phone.

Note to new users, and something that should probably be added to the set up instructions: The default keyboard layout is set to something other than the layout for my keyboard, so at first I was not able to type a - (dash) to access the config menu (sudo raspi-config). I poked around the keyboard and eventually found the correct key, then changed the keyboard layout through the config menu options.

All things considered, I would consider ROKOS flavors a huge success and a wonderful contribution to the crypto community.

TT

I'm on @block 1.35M if fully in synq if go post this on twitter.
It would be nice to have a script for putting the bootstrap in the correct location and unzip.
But it is a good test completely synq the blockchain for EnergtCoin and I hope in a few days full node support.

Very nice, should post a pic over twitter using the #fullnode tags

Thanks to all the participants, it is an honor!

If anyone presents issue with their wifi dongles here is a nice and easy feedback solution by Harcon.

Should have no issues with ethernet and most wifi dongles.

Thank you very much!
I have EnergyCoin running on a 16GB SD and is now synqing.

Great work!!
have it installed on a 32gig SD card and just waiting for bitcoin core to activate "best chain"

Requirements:
ROKOS v5 "flavors":

Future Versions:
- Security updates.
- Chain Updates.
- More Cryptocurrencies will be integrated for an Out of the Box experience and adoption.
- Designs Updates.
- More wallets, programs or features, based on users/communities/developers feedback, support and/or cross collaborations.






*Raspberry Pi 2:
User: pi / Password: raspberry , follow normal setup.

a) Type: sudo raspi-config
b) Set your Time Zone, change your pi user password and Expand the file system, restart.
After restart the system you can type:  "startx"   to start the user desktop.
c) System ready for use.



a) Go to Menu > Internet and Click on your favorite Cryptocurrency Wallet

This will open the Cryptocurrency wallet and start sync.

*For some Cryptocurrencies the initial sync might 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 wallets in ROKOS to plug HW and mine, Send/Receive, Stake, Share,
become a full node and support your favorite Cryptocurrency 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, Raspberry Pi Hardware, Raspbian 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, I 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 chains.


You can start testing and developing new integration with ROKOS and your favorite cryptocurrencies for your IoT projects.







(I did this on a Windows computer, and I dont know what tool to use for Mac to install the iso file Image burner, for this guide you will have to figure out that yourself, if you use Mac)

1. Download and install SD Formatter 4.0 (This is the tool to format the SD card) from:
Windows: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/SDFormatterv4.zip
Mac: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_mac/SDFormatter_4.00B.pkg
(or find it yourself at: https://sdcard.org/downloads)

2. Insert the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card into your PC/Mac. (You will probably need an MicroSD to SD adapter for this).

3. Start SD Formatter 4.0 and click the [Option] button. In there you change from "FORMAT TYPE: QUICK" to "FORMAT TYPE: (FULL)Erase", just leave the "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" in OFF and click the [OK] button so start the format. When the card is completely formatted click the [Exit] button to close SD Formatter.

4. Download and install Win32 Disk Imager (This is the iso file Image burner) from:
Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

5. Download ROKOS Core (rokos5.img.zip) and unzip the ISO file (This is the awesome ROKOS Core "Operating System" that we are going to install on the SD card) from:
Download: http://bit.ly/rokos5flavors
(or find it yourself at: http://rokos.space

6. Start Win32 Disk Imager, press the "little blue folder" and select the "rokos5.img" file that you did extract. Make sure your SD card is selected in the list to the right and press the [Write] button. It will tell you that it can corrupt the SD card, just press [Yes] to continue the installation, when the installation to the SD card is done press the [Exit] button to close Win32 Disk Imager.

7. Now "Safely remove" your SD card from the computer.

8. Put the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card in your Raspberry Pi 2, and make sure you got an USB Keyboard, Monitor (via HDMI), and and Internet cable connected to the Raspberry Pi 2 before you connect the power cable to your Raspberry Pi 2.
