Topic: [Official] ROKOS [flavors] Crypto Full node OS |IoT Devices |Feedback/Discussion - page 24. (Read 74845 times)

Thanks for the kind words, ROKOS will always have 2 versions released and updated.

1st Version is ROKOS "core" aimed to support/develop BTC clients/nodes and OK.

2nd Version (in the making) is ROKOS "flavors" which aims to integrate a minimum of 4 different cryptocurrencies (preferably stakeable ones)
based on their developers/communities support to the project, so they can experience the ease of use at having the pre-installed clients/nodes ready for use.

I will make a "How to" guide as soon as i get some free time so people that don't know how, can compile their own wallets into the system.

This are the requirements to get integrated into ROKOS, with a promo for the first 4 coins to become part of ROKOS "flavors" for every future release.

Want your Cryptocurrency Client and node included in ROKOS "Flavors" release?

0.25 BTC (or OKcash Equivalent) to support development
Requirement to get added to all future "Flavors" upgrades/releases. (Permanently added to upcoming flavors releases)
*Only 4 spots permanent add promo.

0.15 BTC (or OKcash Equivalent) to support development
Requirement to get added only to next "Flavors" upgrade/release. (1 flavors release)

0.50 BTC (or OKcash Equivalent) to support development
Requirement to get an Exclusive version release for your cryptocurrency with your custom cryptocurrency wallpaper and version name.

Hi Devs congratulation for your project, it is really nice, my ask is about the add of new coins clients to rockos it is very hard, do we have some guide for do this?

thanks

New article about the ROKOS v4 Release by The Merkle News

ROKOS Is A Free Raspberry Pi Operating System To Launch A Bitcoin Node

Bitcoin users from all over the world have been looking for cheaper alternatives to create additional network nodes. Up until now, the only options were to either use a [previous] computer or laptop, or buy one of the pre-configured – but rather expensive – Bitcoin Node solutions running on a Raspberry Pi. ROKOS v4 might be the solution some people have been looking for, as it will turn any Raspberry Pi into a Bitcoin or altcoin node.

Merry Xmas!! ROKOS v4 "Core" Released. Full Bitcoin OK Clients, nodes and much more. Faster, Easier, Stronger.



We've seen new services selling "stake miners" for different currencies, we support the new technology and uses for cryptocurrencies in the Raspberry Pi environments, hence we came up with a Free solution for every Pi enthusiast, developer, user, service that want to use their Pi systems with Bitcoin and OKCash, or that would like to turn their Pi into a Staking device, It already includes a synced and fully functional client and node for OKCash and Bitcoin Client and node as well to provide them with the best and easier Out of the Box experience.


The First OS image release that merges the full power of Raspberry Pi and Cryptocurrencies:
- ROKOS v4 "core" comes with an integrated Bitcoin Client / node and OKCash Client /node with Synced OKchain. Released on Dec 25 2015.

- If you will use Bitcoin and OKCash:
Min 8gb SD card and an External device (usb / hdd / ssd). To sync the BTC chain on the external device instead of the SD card, BTC chain alone is around 40gb.

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 will auto log to the pi user desktop.



a) Go to Menu > Internet 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) OK: Go to Menu > Internet and Click on the OKCash Wallet

This will open the OKCash wallet, give it some minutes for the initial setup, OK Chain is Synced so it will be ready for use in the next minutes.


c) 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 BTC cryptocurrency, become a full node and support the Bitcoin newtork, etc.

Use your OKCash wallet to Stake/Mine OK, Send/Receive OK cryptocurrency, send and receive private messages with other OK users, etc.

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.


You can start testing and developing new integration with the Bitcoin and OKCash Tech for your IoT projects.

OK, raspi-config did the trick, thanks :-)

Congratz for Rokos 3  This is awesome!

Welcome, go to terminal and do a

sudo raspi-config


You can change the keyboard layout and internalization options like time zone and most core settings.

Hi
Thanks for this new version with which I'm gonna play a bit :-)
Before that, I have to fix an issue with the keyboard layout: I can't change it (clicking on the button in the appropriate setting doesn't show any dialog box related to this setting).
What's the name of the binary used to change the keyboard layout?

glad i kept getting an error with google drive then,
it kept telling me there was something wrong with the network

Just a small hiccup And I feel your pain regarding the compilation times on ARM
I'll wait patiently for the fixed version while enjoying the staisybit staking for about 1/7 of my OKcash holdings. The rest of 6/7 are waiting ROKOS v3.x

There was a small issue with libegl (library of OS) that I am already working on the fix , this prevents the OKCash graphical wallet from showing the correct balances and addresses.

It is only a visual bug at this moment, if you open okcash node okcashd, it reports all the quantities correctly.

BTC working fully.

Removed the download to upload the one with the fixed libegl, Have to recompile everything, compilations take too long, should be ready in the coming days. Thanks for your support!

b) Open Terminal, type:  raspi-config
c) Set your Time Zone and Expand the file system, restart.
After restart the system will auto log to the pi user desktop.




*note: Remember that on terminal the password will not be displayed as you type it; there are no Windows-style * symbols representing the letters. Instead, it will appear that you haven’t entered a password. This is a security feature to prevent people guessing the length of your passphrase. Just type the password regardless.


sudo passwd
(write your new password, this will change the password of Pi, the main use account)

su root
enter password:  raspberry

passwd
(write your new password, this will change the password for the root account)

exit
(leaves root account and goes back to Pi account)

exit or close the terminal window

RESTART the system one last time so it can start with correct configurations. (correct mount of tmp for the tech savy)
