Here are the Alexandrite Raspberry Pi wallets (headless and Qt) for Raspbian Jessie (v8) as well as a blockchain snapshot. The wallet has been tested on both a Pi2 and Pi3. Since Alexandrite has a great appeal for staking, it makes sense to stake on a Pi at low electricity cost.

Important:
1) Always backup your wallet.dat first before you do anything
2) The wallets were built on Raspberry Pi2/3 (ARM) running Raspbian Jessie (v8) and the instructions and scripts assume you are running as user "pi". It is a pre-requisite to have Jessie installed on your Pi micro-SD card. You can find instructions of how to do this on https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ by either installing n00bs and selecting your OS or by downloading the image of the OS. NB! It is important that if you do a fresh install from an older Jessie image, that you first expand your file system with raspi-config. It is the first option in the menu. The default image they provide installs a partition of about 3.5GB and it needs to be expanded to 8GB or you will not have enough space for the installation. However, if you use the later Jessie image from May 2016, the file system will be expanded automatically. It is furthermore always a good idea to select the boot options in raspi-config to boot to a command prompt with authentication. You can then start the graphical desktop with "startx" manually. This helps with issues during upgrades.
3) The installation script installs the required dependencies automatically. If you have not done a recent upgrade, you might be presented with a screen of text during the Mozilla security certificate upgrade. If this happens, just scroll down and press "q" and the installation will continue.
4) Installation directory where the binaries are installed is ~/opt/alex or /home/pi/opt/alex
5) To run the wallets after installation go to the directory with the wallets and run the wallet file - ./Alexandrited for the headless wallet at the command line or click on the Alexandrite icon on the desktop or run the Alexandrite-Qt wallet file.
6) An Internet connection is required for the installation
7) You need at least an 8GB memory card for the wallet.
8.) The installation itself takes about 45min on an out-of-the-box Pi.
9) You cannot just download the dynamic wallets, you have to run the script to get the dependencies as well else it will not run.
10) The installation script enables the ufw firewall by default, but does not force any special rules. The wallet still works this way with the port blocked. If however you want to enable it to become a fully functional node, un-comment the ufw lines in the script and add the ports you want open (19531 for Alex) and run it again or easier, enable it manually by running the command "sudo ufw enable 19531" at the command line.
11) Always verify the checksums when you download files to make sure it was downloaded ok. To verify the checksums on your Pi, go to the ~/opt/alex folder and execute sha256sum <filename> and md5sum <filename> and compare the values with the values in the checksums.txt file.
12) The Alexandrite wallet uses a bootstrap.dat file which is installed automatically by the script up to block 8552.

Instructions to use the headless command line daemon wallet:

1) The installation script creates an Alexandrite.conf file with the startup settings in it. Go to the folder with the binaries ~/opt/alex and enter ./Alexandrited in a terminal window or at the command line to start the server
2) After the wallet has started and loaded the blockchain (give it a minute or so) you can enter the normal wallet commands that you would as in a Windows debug console preceded with ./Alexandrited eg. "./Alexandrited getinfo".
3) Remember to always make a backup of your wallet.dat file before you do anything like encrypting it
4) To encrypt your wallet run the command ./Alexandrited encryptwallet <yourpassword>
5) Once you have the wallet running, blockchain loaded and your wallet with coins on the Pi, then you can kickstart staking by executing ./Alexandrited walletpassphrase <yourwalletpassword> 99999999 true

Instructions to use the Qt wallet:

1) The wallet works exactly the same as the one in Windows.

To kickstart the installation execute the following commands at the command prompt or in a terminal window on your Pi.

You must just set the payout amount very low for a lesser known pool. If you set Alex to 5 coins for example, it will payout every 5 coins and then you can max lose 5-20 coins depending on your hash rate and uncofirmed coins. If you did not set a low limit then it is your own fault. Maybe the owner will return.

The other reason is that high volume earns higher fees to the exchange that makes the exchange see a coin more favorably. Exchanges dont care (under most conditions) who buys and sells as long as they earn the fees. An exchange is a business. Higher volume also ensures that a coin remains listed. It has become normal practice in altcoin world and you will hardly find any coin where this does not happen.

Or it is just a bot to create volume. There has never been that size of buy orders so it would not suddenly appear to be dumped into either. The probability is much higher that it is rather someone with 3000 that sold into its own orders with 3000 coins at a time.

Looks like the pools are opening up account distribution so many accounts coming into the market. Anyone want to get rid of/sell some accounts?

People are spending a lot of money to mine this at the moment. If you do an airdrop it is a slap in the face of the current miners and you are giving the message that people dont have to mine anymore bit rather wait for free coins. Why pay for something if you can get it for free right? If you do an airdrop it will be bad for your business plan and the coin will fail.

If you do go ahead with an airdrop everyone will know you are not serious.

Hi fairglu, no the 0.9.0 is still the latest afaik. The 0.9.2.2 are test wallets. Best for Graham to answer you regarding the wallet versions and upgrade schedules. Can you point the market rate to Yobit?

Yobit is synced up and open again.

I am struggling to create an account. The registration button just goes into a loop to the chronobank website.

The minimum stake age is 24 hours.

I guess somewhere between a tid and a tad, but definitely more than a snap but most definitely less than a snip. That would be roughly 1 token's worth.

That is my valued view of the value of coin values.

Seriously?

Ok go into ~/alexandrite/src and execute "make -f makefile.unix" assuming again you are on Linux.

EDIT: Just checking... did you install the required libraries beforehand?

I am going to assume your source code is in ~/alexandrite and that you are struggling with Linux compile.

Execute the following commands, replacing the ~/alexandrite with where your source is.

mkdir ~/alexandrite/src/obj
mkdir ~/alexandrite/src/obj/zerocoin
chmod +x ~/alexandrite/src/leveldb/build_detect_platform

Then try to recompile.

Staking is working.

The duck test.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. It could be a cow, but it is probably a duck. It could be a cow in a duck disguise, or maybe just a duck in flight. He could be you then prove me wrong and I dont mind being wrong but I think I am right.

He is gone 99% certain.

Too bad the dev abandoned the project. I guess he couldn't get the staking right.

Nah. The dev hasnt logged on for 2 days. If there is no exchange there can be no coin dump or complaints about coin price drop because the dev is MIA. Every day he does not log on the FUD will increase but without the risk of a dump.   Looks like fixing staking was indeed more challenging than a trivial Windows wallet.

Alt-coins... fun and games. lol

In your ~/.bitgrow folder put the bitgrow.conf file and in it put the items below replacing the italics descriptions with actual data:
rpcuser = choose_a_username
rpcpassword = choose_a_password
rpcallowip = 127.0.0.1
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
addnode=76.164.207.5
addnode=76.188.211.191
addnode=94.158.36.37
addnode=74.94.165.18
addnode=76.164.207.4
addnode=45.63.1.27
addnode=79.143.189.161
addnode=158.69.219.98
addnode=104.131.246.47
addnode=104.131.164.177

When still in early days it could be that there are smaller groups of exchange accounts (including single accounts) when exchange withdrawals have not yet crossed boundaries into other groups of exchange accounts. As soon as that happens those groups become linked. The picture emerges over time. It can therefore be that exchange accounts are not yet linked due to very few withdrawals in the early days. In order to hasten the process artificially, people can make withdrawals to offline accounts and move the coins back. The more movements like that the quicker the links are made, although the explorer only updates about once per day.
