finally after fixing configuration on size of sd card everything seems perfect.
wow awesome. thank you jc
only problem Im having now is downloading bootstrap file....so im just letting it sync for now.
Great. What problem do you have with downloading the bootstrap file? I was not sure how to download in Linux...so I downloaded on windows machine and copied it to usb and transferred to pi. I put the file, bootstrap.dat in the iocoin folder.... /home/pi/opt/iocoin... but when I open the wallet it starts downloading blockchain from the beginning. did I put in wrong place

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

You must put the bootstrap.dat file in the ~/.iocoin folder (/home/pi/.iocoin), there where your iocoin.conf and wallet.dat files are. PS: Also remember to enable your firewall (sudo ufw enable)

There are many to chosoe from, do they all need PSU? Or some just run of the usb? Thank you.

How do you enable firewall with Jessie OS please?
Just execute "sudo ufw enable" at the command prompt. By default it disables all incoming connections, but will allow outgoing connections.

just to report,
im using debian 8 Jessie because you can run the familiar qt wallet with it
the execution file provided by jc works like a charm...took about an hour or so to run
now im in the middle of importing bootstrap.dat. it does take along time...going on three hours already
im using a pi 1 model b (512k ram single core processor) so maybe that accounts all the sluggishness....so much so I think I need to pick up the pi 2 b
as soon as its synced i'll be sending over some coin and begin staking

Hi,
Installing my PI today. What i have seen is that if you download and install the Jessie image from the raspberry website, it works like a charm. Boots instantly when i added the boot to the memory card using ApplePi-Baker. BUT!
The image that you restore sets a very small storage availability. In my case i have a 16 GB SD card, but after loading the image to the SD card, it said to have 150MB storage. The installer failed a few times saying there was not enough storage so i started debugging. This is the result.
So before you start the installer script on the raspberry, be sure to expand your storage to the max on the raspberry. I used raspi-config in de command window to expand the storage. After using that commando i have 16GB available again.
Now installing....
Cheers Richard

HI JC,
If possible maybe make another post, with more clear steps for us Pi noobies please, running the jessie OS.
That would be great, thank you.

go slow and read carefully...its pretty clear. everything seems to be working fine except for syncing..... I have a model p1 B where I ran bootstrap.dat for around 12 hrs...and I couldn't wait any longer and restarted....blockchain loaded about 60% and is now syncing with nodes ( ran overnight) and now up to 70%.....slowwwwww...looks like it may take another day Yesterday at around noon I started setup on newer model p2 b...bootstrap.dat on that machine has been importing since around 1:00 pm ...so around 21 hours. like watching paint dry

So yes it takes a long time to import 730k blocks. It is still shorter though than a native sync.

Native sync on my older pi looks like it could as long as 4-5 days....so the bootstrap certainly gave it a big head start! i'll be patient with the other pi and just wait until import finishes. again your help has been awesome

Hi Richard, Will the new wallet run with the same "foundation code" as the previous HTML? Or will it use different code, just wondering if JC looked at the other wallet, if he would not have to change things when the new one it out.

You have to ask yourself first what is the purpose of an HTML wallet and how such a wallet will achieve the coins goals and objectives. A new type of wallet could for example improve user experience by being able to transact faster, be more secure, transact quicker on the move, use less space by being thin or whatever you are trying to achieve. You will then have to ask yourself if having an HTML wallet on a Pi will realise those same advantages for the user. If not then it might be best to remain with the current wallet on the Pi as the advantage of Pi is to have a wallet at low energy usage mostly for staking at long intervals.

I understand your reasoning. The QT wallet (in current state) will be discontinued in development when we release the latest HTML5 wallet. So everything is based around the HTML5 wallet. We will not keep the QT just for staking purposes on Pi. I'm not sure if the used QT will continue to work later on. Did you see our current HTML5 wallet? It also uses a daemon, wallet.dat etc like QT. Only another interface. Cheers Richard
