When can we expect a Rokos version for the Pi3 ? would be awesome.

That is correct, Pi3 is out!

Sadly the only hard improvement (imho) is the better processor, as it still comes packed with only 1 GB ram,
(I expected a better update with all the new competitors they have)

Even so, Will gladly make ROKOS for it and the new users that get it, a pleasure.

I am almost done with ROKOS flavors for Raspberry pi 2, should be released between friday and monday, after it
will work on ROKOS core update for Pi 2, then work on PINE64+  (packs twice the power of Pi 2) comes with 2Gb ram, 64 processor.
and we are official backers, and then I can order a Pi 3 if funds allow us so we can work on the Pi 3 ROKOS as well,
Happy to cover all the devices requested by users with at least 1Gb on board.

Sorry for the question    but, what is the differences between "Rokos Core" and "Rokos Flavors" ?

Thank you very much!

ROKOS v7 "core" for Pine64+ screen shots

"ROKOS" Initial Setup

Steps for first boot

*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)

Welcome to the ROKOS Desktop

Final steps / BTC and OK Clients

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.

rmd73: that sync method only works for Okcash ,   Bitcoin has to be synced from zero, unless they have the arm64 bitcoin chain already on an external drive.

My bad, I assumed too much... (and yes, I don't use BTC much ).
