I don't like Mega nor Google, but if I have to download from there, would it be possible to add here a checksum of the file, to be sure it has not been altered?

I'd like to test this distrib in order to compile my own daemons (sling, and some of the supernet core currencies : fibre, bitstar, bitcoindark and opal).

Thanks

Edit: and why don't you just publish the daemon binaries? (with the checksums! ;-))

ROKOS v2 Google Drive Download (added to OP)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6j6kd8yGRsmem5WeEJfWGE3cm8/view?usp=sharing

Megacoin wallet added to the consideration list for future releases.


*Official Download Links are in OP - Do Not Download from other sources, posts, links to ensure the security of your downloads*

what a nice project.
a couple caveats, The torrent has zero seeders. and mega is not optimal ie 10+ hours to download for me.. Maybe a google drive would be best?

Would love to see Megacoin wallet on there.

At the moment the system has most of the dependencies you need to compile most wallets already, depending on the cryptocurrency wallet it might require more dependencies so would require to check on the altcoin code first.

Sure, we can include more wallets if they have a nice user base, as all the work is voluntary hence priority of support goes to OK and BTC, but we can release a special version with more wallets if the users start requiring them on this thread.

Let me know or paste here the Altcoins wallets you are interested in, so after some posts we can make a list for vote and start adding the most voted ones to be fair with the users base.

OS does not come with a VNC ready to use, we can check to add it on next V if more users asks for it of course.

Will you post the details of what is required to compile other wallets for the PII2?? what dependencies etc are required to be installed to get the wallets to build. We can start posting other working PII wallets here for inclusion. I presently stake (10) coins and want them all on their own PII2. Does your OS include some VNC ready to use??

Great idea for increasing your network security and using a new Pi2 , You will love it.

Oh well, I'll buy a Pi v2 and keep the v1 for home security   

Hi, thanks for your feedback,

Looked already to the git, but on the contrary, the daemons in the ROKOS system does not use extra resources,  (Daemon does not have a graphical interface)  the QT version is the graphical one, so users can select which to use and does not require extra layers, which would lower performance as they require mysql and more sw to be running aside of the daemons, we would require to audit their layer as well for security checks, but as I just said, is not getting consideration for now as main point behind the system is to make it use less resources possible to give all the pi power to the system and wallets.

As for the RAM issue with some currencies, this depends on different aspects, hash, transactions, addresses, health, so to detect why its behaving that way should inspect and pinpoint the issue to find the real cause and give it some optimization.

so far seems LTC, Doge and OK runs with around 250-350 mb, BTC uses a bit more, at least while its synching and processing the transactions, hence why the system works for Pi +B but its recommended and built for the Pi2 .

You could look at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-piwallet-opensource-online-altcoin-wallet-911212 for the piWallet interface to the daemons... that would free some resources taken by the X-based GUI that could be used to run more coins... Using that as a piece for a ROKOS-CLI version might be interesting.

On a (mostly) not related line of thought:
I wonder why some daemons require so much RAM... orbitcoind asks for around 500MB and the poor RasPi has only 512MB... also, swap file/partition must be approached with a lot of care and consideration...
I'd like to see daemons optimized for low memory consumption especially when compiling for less powerful platforms.

added to OP

OS already has a lot of the libraries required to compile most of cryptocurrencies, you can try compiling your altcoin daemon like this:


- git clone http://[githubofaltcoin]

- cd altcoin

- cd src

- make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

that should compile the daemon for that altcoin, feel free to share feedback or ask any question in the official thread so it can remain for future users with same doubts, we will share more friendly manuals later on.


P.S: you should remember to open the ports of that altcoin in the firewall, you can do it with

- sudo ufw allow PORT/TCP


Cheers.

v2 Released


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

v2 Update: Based on feedback and more research we find out that a lot of new crypto users have issues for getting Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin wallets to work in their Pi, and some people complain about the long time it takes to compile the wallets and get them running, so BTC, LTC, and DOGE wallets and daemons are included in ROKOS since the v2 release and forward.

Min 8gb SD card and an External device (usb or hdd). To synch the chains on the external device instead of the SD card, BTC chain alone is around 40gb.

- If using OKCash, Litecoin and Dogecoin: Min 32gb SD card. they fit together in the card for now, external device recommended.
- If using only OKCash and Litecoin OR Dogecoin (2 wallets): Min 16gb SD card.
- If only using OKCash: Min 8gb SD card.

Future Versions:
- Security updates.
- Chain Updates.
- More Cryptocurrencies will be integrated for an Out of the Box experience in different versions called FLAVORS.
- Designs Updates.
- More wallets, programs or features, based on users feedback and cross collaborations.



1.- Download and Burn the OKCashPi Image to a micro SD Card like you would with any other Pi Distro.
Jun 6 2015 - ROKOS v1 (OK) - DOWNLOAD
Jun 30 2015 - ROKOS v2 (BTC OK LTC DOGE) - DOWNLOAD


a) Login with user: Pi   password: raspberry    
b) Type:    sudo raspi-config    (This will get us to the config menu)
c) Expand the file system by selecting the proper option.
d) Allow booting to desktop (StartX) by selecting the proper option.
e) Set up your Time Zone by selecting the proper option.
f) Exit and restart the system (It will restart on exit)



*note: Remember that 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)


a) 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 Synched so it will be ready for use in the next minutes.

*Repeat the previous step with the Desired Wallet you would like to open and use.
*For BTC LTC and DOGE the initial synch will take some hours and even days in case of Bitcoin's Chain, wallets are fully usable after being fully Synchronized.


b) Make a backup of your wallets and save in USB or external media.

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

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 and the Software are under development hence is 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 integrations with the Bitcoin OKCash Litecoin & Dogecoin Tech with your IoT projects.

v2 will be released in the coming days and comes with everything ready, a Bitcoin, OKCash, Litecoin and Dogecoin wallets, and will be released in different flavors (flavors will be aimed for different communities to include their wallets and incentive cross collaborations ) first flavor will include a Tesla wallet for their Pi enthusiasts.

which version of qt is installed?  How about the other packages and dependencies installed for compiling other wallets?

OKCash ROKOS v2 wallpaper contest Results: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11704951

Thanks, glad you like, we launched a wallpaper contest for the next ROKOS v2, you can add an orbitcoin logo aside of fulfilling the requirements.


We will add more wallets to the v2 release, will consider orbitcoin for sure.

Here's the contest:

Hello and kudos for that nice piece of work.
I'd like to see ORB too on a later version ROKOS  but until then I'll try to compile ORB wallet this week-end on my B+.

There is nothing simpler than this, you just have to download the OS image,

burn it to your SD card, (like you would normally do with any image for a raspberry device)

and start your new ROKOS Staking device.

You could even ignore the instructions, but then you would not have the maximum security on your system,
hence we better provide them for optimal use.


Yes, This first version comes with an already installed and synched OKCash wallet /Chain,
(and you can easily compile your other currencies wallets)
In next versions we will include more currencies installed and synched.
(Decided on contest or by public users feedback or cross collaborations)

The system can hold any other wallet as well, as it comes with the dev tools integrated should be really easy to compile any other wallet that you would like to use in the system, the down side of it is to wait for a new chain to synch (which can take even 8-12 hrs on some chains or more with bigger ones) Hence the advantage of downloading the OS with updated Wallet chains (in this version with OKCash integrated and updated chain)


So, yes, This OS is friendly and should ease the use/compiling of other cryptocurrency wallets as well.


For the V2 version we could hold a contest later or continue to watch the feedback so we could integrate more wallets with synched chains.
