A pleasure 👌

Hectic end of 2016, and amazing starts on 2017.

Should be up later this Feb!

Happy New Year!

Any update to when rokos flavors v7 comes out?

Just discovered this project today.  Very nice way to run a node thks!

Seems you are getting the file corrupted while download, even so, new v7 flavors release should be out in the coming week or two,
we will make mirror downloads as well to help prevent this issue for the users.

hi
i have downloaded rokos flavors now twice, both times the zip file wont unpack. getting the cpgz.zip .. terminal tells me that the file is 76bytes too long. using mac osx mavericks

there is also no preview of the file given on google drive either.

is there a version somewhere else that i can download or any advice on this?

thanks

K that's what I figured plus it's slow as a turtle I'll order one again Thanks

Raspberry pi models b+ has 512mb ram, ROKOS supports IoT devices with more than 1Gb ram,
I would recommend:

a) upgrade and get a Pi 2 at least.
b) wait for the ROKOS lite Release (headless version for pi zero and old pi models)

also feel free to join http://discord.me/cryptocurrency for support/feedback and latest updates. Kind Regards

Hi, what is a password for root account in "ROKOS" Flavors for Raspberry Pi zero, 2, 3 - Initial Setup User: root / Password: raspberry (use for initial configuration and advanced changes)? raspberry does not work.

And second how to setup LCD screen on rokos?

*Pine64+
User: pi  / Password: rokos , follow normal setup.

a) Login and open a terminal.
b) type:      sudo ./resize-sdcard.sh       (this will resize and use all the space from the SD card)
c) System ready for use.

Extra 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 for Pine64+ devices)
c) start your wallet after the process is done and give it some minutes.
d) your OK wallet is ready to be used.

Done, enjoy your ROKOS v7

*BananaPi PRO:    (v7 update coming up)

*Raspberry Pi:    (v7 update coming up)



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.

Soon^TM
I had the honor (and the privilege) to test a pre-release version of ROKOS Core v7 for Pine64 and I can tell that it is a good distro and the OKcash wallet seems to be working pretty well.
There are some minor issues with the "instant sync" script to be ironed out (which is basically using a full database snapshot of the blockchain, as opposed to the "bootstrap" which is more like a database "import"), but as far as I can tell the bootstrap method works well.
I didn't have the time to test the BTC wallet nor any of the two daemons yet.
If everything goes well, I think we can see the ROKOS v7 launched next week...
Oh, it seems to have both WiFi and Bluetooth active out of the box for those who acquired the corresponding module/shield for their Pine (still need to test those two though).
Watch this thread and the discord channel at https://discord.gg/sfxUARd for more exciting news.

is there an ETA for v7 ?

As per https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13029601
So, if you mounted the external HDD to /media/yourhddmountpoint you will have to modify the launcher (the "shortcut") of bitcoin-qt to have

love this ,

quick question tho how do you change the data dir if i was to store on a external hard drive please for bitcoin

Thanks buddy
