v2 ReleasedCryptocurrency and the Internet of Things
Raspbian based OK OS with integrated Cryptocurrency wallets
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.

Security Steps
Pi and root accounts default passwords: raspberry
*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.Open a terminal and change the password of "Pi" and "root" accounts with this commands
sudo passwd(write your new password, this will change the password of Pi, the main use account)
su rootenter 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)
Final steps
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.
