[Official] ROKOS [flavors] Crypto Full node OS |IoT Devices |Feedback/Discussion

[OKtoshi]

In regards to the Pin64, anyone thinking about buying one should read here >
 http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/491-need-help-on-pine-a64-15-64bit-quad-core-12ghz-single-board-computer/

I will stick with the Raspberry Pi 2.

With every new tech there's concerns, Ive already had a read but dont agree with some of the views, even so that is one of the
nice things about the ROKOS project, when we get it in march we can do some benchmark with the Banana vs Pi 2 vs PINE64
So users can have better information while making the decision of IoT device selection.

Thanks for your feedback!

Yes! that would be great to see.  Always nice to say comparisons.  Great work guys.

Thank you! already working on ROKOS flavors for Pi2.

troubleshooting for no connection to download the bitcoin chain? internet is working on my pi. wallet wont get any sort of connection to download . says "No block source available..."

Thanks guys,

Awesome OS, cant wait for flavours!!

To run the client automatically on startup, edit '/etc/rc.local' file and add before the line that says "exit 0":

su pi -c '/usr/local/bin/okcashd &'

and that's it, it will start on auto, if need further support just let me know.

Cheers.

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.

Hello! I am trying to install an altcoin wallet following your little guide here. but I get a error message when I am typing "make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-"

this is how I did it:
git clone https://github.com/hirosakaim/JIFFYCOIN.git
cd JIFFYCOIN
cd src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

and I get the following error message:

I decided to make a guide how to install ROKOS Core on a Raspberry Pi 2 for complete noobs like me. I guess im not the only noob out there..?

---Prepare the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card---
(I did this on a Windows computer, and I dont know what tool to use for Mac to install the iso file Image burner, for this guide you will have to figure out that yourself, if you use Mac)


1. Download and install SD Formatter 4.0 (This is the tool to format the SD card) from:
Windows: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/SDFormatterv4.zip
Mac: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_mac/SDFormatter_4.00B.pkg
(or find it yourself at: https://sdcard.org/downloads)

2. Insert the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card into your PC/Mac. (You will probably need an MicroSD to SD adapter for this).

3. Start SD Formatter 4.0 and click the [Option] button. In there you change from "FORMAT TYPE: QUICK" to "FORMAT TYPE: (FULL)Erase", just leave the "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" in OFF and click the [OK] button so start the format. When the card is completely formatted click the [Exit] button to close SD Formatter.

4. Download and install Win32 Disk Imager (This is the iso file Image burner) from:
Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

5. Download ROKOS Core (rokosv4core.img.zip) and unzip the ISO file (This is the awesome ROKOS Core "Operating System" that we are going to install on the SD card) from:
Download: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6j6kd8yGRsmVkU3VjBCbVRQa1k&usp=sharing
(or find it yourself at: http://rokos.space

6. Start Win32 Disk Imager, press the "little blue folder" and select the "rokosv4core.img" file that you did extract. Make sure your SD card is selected in the list to the right and press the [Write] button. It will tell you that it can corrupt the SD card, just press [Yes] to continue the installation, when the installation to the SD card is done press the [Exit] button to close Win32 Disk Imager.

7. Now "Safely remove" your SD card from the computer.

8. Put the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card in your Raspberry Pi 2, and make sure you got an USB Keyboard, Monitor (via HDMI), and an Internet cable connected to the Raspberry Pi 2 before you connect the power cable to your Raspberry Pi 2.

Awesome Guide!

Will add it to the ANNs, website (coming tutorials section), and the website github to help new users with proper credit of course!

(let Jiffy devs know of: claims for integration to ROKOS in case they want to get integrated into the ROKOS flavors releases would gladly do so, already at 3/5 ready for the coming release so short time left to get in this one)

Again, great job with the guide and pushing crypto forward by helping and empowering the users!

Thank you.

oh sorry, I did accidently add my JiffyCoin address in my guide for donation, it was supposed to be an OKCash address, I just had JiffyCoin in my head the night i wrote the guide since I was trying to get the wallet running on the OS, now it's changed to OKCash to support you guys! Awesome OS! It made me love my new Raspberry even more!

About Bitcoin Pruning and How to  (Bitcoin 0.12)

Block file pruning
This release supports running a fully validating node without maintaining a copy of the raw block and undo data on disk. To recap, there are four types of data related to the blockchain in the bitcoin system: the raw blocks as received over the network (blk???.dat), the undo data (rev???.dat), the block index and the UTXO set (both LevelDB databases). The databases are built from the raw data.

Block pruning allows Bitcoin Core to delete the raw block and undo data once it’s been validated and used to build the databases. At that point, the raw data is used only to relay blocks to other nodes, to handle reorganizations, to look up old transactions (if -txindex is enabled or via the RPC/REST interfaces), or for rescanning the wallet. The block index continues to hold the metadata about all blocks in the blockchain.

The user specifies how much space to allot for block & undo files. The minimum allowed is 550MB. Note that this is in addition to whatever is required for the block index and UTXO databases. The minimum was chosen so that Bitcoin Core will be able to maintain at least 288 blocks on disk (two days worth of blocks at 10 minutes per block). In rare instances it is possible that the amount of space used will exceed the pruning target in order to keep the required last 288 blocks on disk.

Block pruning works during initial sync in the same way as during steady state, by deleting block files “as you go” whenever disk space is allocated. Thus, if the user specifies 550MB, once that level is reached the program will begin deleting the oldest block and undo files, while continuing to download the blockchain.

For now, block pruning disables block relay. In the future, nodes with block pruning will at a minimum relay “new” blocks, meaning blocks that extend their active chain.

Block pruning is currently incompatible with running a wallet due to the fact that block data is used for rescanning the wallet and importing keys or addresses (which require a rescan.) However, running the wallet with block pruning will be supported in the near future, subject to those limitations.

Block pruning is also incompatible with -txindex and will automatically disable it.

Once you have pruned blocks, going back to unpruned state requires re-downloading the entire blockchain. To do this, re-start the node with -reindex. Note also that any problem that would cause a user to reindex (e.g., disk corruption) will cause a pruned node to redownload the entire blockchain. Finally, note that when a pruned node reindexes, it will delete any blk???.dat and rev???.dat files in the data directory prior to restarting the download.

To enable block pruning on the command line:

    -prune=N: where N is the number of MB to allot for raw block & undo data.

Modified RPC calls:

    getblockchaininfo now includes whether we are in pruned mode or not.
    getblock will check if the block’s data has been pruned and if so, return an error.
    getrawtransaction will no longer be able to locate a transaction that has a UTXO but where its block file has been pruned.

Pruning is disabled by default.

just installed it on my pi when i setit all up and turned off and back on my bitcoin client wasnt there anymore so i had to re do it any ideas how that happend ?

Please provide more detailed description of what you have done "setting it up"...
Or, you can try writing the image on SD-card and try again, following the instructions to the letter (including when to reboot the device).
