Latest Version: 2.5.2.0

WhiteCoin continues to evolve from its early days when it was originally created by a developer that only wanted to cash in to where it has flourished to become more than just a coin, WhiteCoin has grown into a truly innovative community consisting of Developers and Private Business Investors.

While available to everyone, WhiteCoin is driven by a dedicated community of supporters yet controlled by no one single individual. This attractive combination will help ensure stability, growth, and compelling technological developments.

Bootstrap

What is bootstrap.dat
bootstrap.dat allows a new Whitecoin client (not synced) to rapidly import the initial blocks from a local file instead of slowly downloading blocks from random peers. This significantly reduces the time it takes to get a client synced with the current blockchain.
Simply having bootstrap.dat in Whitecoin's expected data directory will make your initial block sync much faster. The import process can be even faster if you use the -dbcache=1000 command line parameter which uses an additional 1GB of RAM for the database index cache.

How this works

• Download bootstrap.tgz from http://explorer.whitecoin.info/bootstrap/
• Verify the integrity of bootstrap.tgz with the checksums.
• Decompress to obtain bootstrap.dat.
• Put it into the Whitecoin datadir. This is the same folder that contains wallet.dat and the blocks folder. or run the wallet with "whitecoin-qt.exe -loadblock=c:\path_to\bootstrap.dat"
• Delete bootstrap.dat.old if you want to recover some storage space.

WhiteOS utilizes a custom, optimized and hardened Ubuntu environment based on the latest version 14.04LTS.  WhiteOS is a secure and portable operating system that anyone with a PC or laptop will be able to use. Because the OS and Wallet data files are stored on a USB, you effectively have true cold storage, and your coins will follow you wherever you go.

BUILT IN ANONYMITY - One of the most unique features of this secure environment is that the wallet and browsers are redirected through a TOR proxy to ensure anonymity and privacy (this runs locally by default). When you unplug your USB stick no trace is left on the host PC.

A special thank to all the private and public  beta-testers (some who wished to remain anonymous)!!!  We have fixed many bugs that I would not have found on my own system.

We are dedicated to make WhiteOS as feature rich and secure as possible.  Continued development on some really nice and unique features is under way and will be released in future versions.    

What happens after the release of WhiteOS, we have some really nice unique ideas that we are willing to implement in future versions of WhiteOS, so we continue to develop on WhiteOS as a good and secure and portable OS. Once the release of WhiteOS is succesfull more features will be added

You can find more information and a small HOWTO here

Update your previous WhiteOS versions with the latest wallet

Open your terminal and copy paste the following lines one by one

[/list][/list]

Code:

cd ~
wget -q -O ~/whiteos_update_wallet.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Oizopower/WhiteOS-update/master/update_latest_wallet.sh
sudo chmod +x whiteos_update_wallet.sh
sudo ./whiteos_update_wallet.sh

Options to install:

• On USB so it's portable (main idea and easiest)
• Under windows (VMWare/Virtualbox (make sure to use PAE)/Hyper-V) (easy)
• Dual-boot next to windows (advanced)

WhiteOS comes with a backup tool to remotely backup your wallet and home dir. You can either backup using FTP / SSH / Windows Share or other drives. Just look under settings and make sure to create backups.

Caution:
IF YOU ARE INSTALLING WHITEOS ON TO YOUR MAIN PC, ENSURE YOU DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR PRIMARY OS... IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS, THEN WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU FOLLOW THE USB OR VM INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR MAIN OS REMAINS SAFE


WhiteNode - OTB Whitecoin Node for RasPi 2 and RasPi 3




WhiteNode comes with an official Raspbian (stretch) customized image. This allows you to run the Whitecoin daemon out of the box with minimum efforts.
This way users can help strengthen the network and make it easy for users  to stake coins on an energy efficient device.
The source compiling scripts are on our Github located here, this allowed users to create their own custom image if needed. Or for other developers to customize them for their own coin.

Where to download ?

WhiteNode can be downloaded from our website or github.

How to use it?

• Unzip the image and install it to an SD card like any other Raspberry Pi image
• Configure your WiFi by editing whitenode-wpa-supplicant.txt on the root of the flashed card when using it like a flash drive in windows.
• Boot the Pi from the SD card
• Log into your Pi via SSH (it is located at whitenode.local if your computer supports bonjour or the IP address assigned by your router), default username is "pi", default password is "raspberry", change the password using the passwd command and or in the raspi-config (sudo raspi-config).

How to burn the image to an SD card?

Download Etcher from https://etcher.io/ and follow the steps to burn it.

I remember some month ago i have a big bag of WC but after a long dump i have to sold all with cheap price and lost some profit, and i forgot it. Nice to see WC comeback with good news 

[iluvcrypto]

Glad a new thread has been started. The old one was getting little out of hand. We need active mods involvement to keep this one clean.

thanks

[waligu]

[Oizopower]

[waligu]

No problem ... :-) thanks for the fast reply

[Oizopower]

Hey blitzkitten, yeah i have locked the previous topic and put a link to this one.
That way we can have a better and more clean topic.

[Oizopower]

A small video preview with WhiteOS in action.

[surfguy72]

Awesome work on the new thread and of course on WhiteOS!

Glad we have a thread where on the rare chance there's some real douchebaggery, the group can step in.

[itsAj]

Nice to see WhiteCoin still going strong.

WhiteOS announcement

WhiteOS Release Schedule:

	Internal Testing:	In Progress
	Private Testing:	3 October 2014
	Public Beta Release:	10 October 2014
	WhiteOS Official Release:	~17 October 2014 (depends on bugs)

WhiteOS utilizes a custom, optimized and hardened Ubuntu environment, based on the latest version 14.04LTS. WhiteOS is a secure and portable operating system, Anyone with a PC or laptop will be able to use WhiteOS. Because the OS and Wallet data files are stored on a USB, You effectively have true cold storage, your coins will follow you wherever you go. The wallet and browsers are redirected through a TOR proxy to ensure anonimity and privacy (this runs locally as default). When you unplug your USB stick no trace is left on the host PC.

So.. what wil happen on 3 October 2014, At 21:00 UTC+1 (Amsterdam) i will be on IRC in #whitecoinfoundation selecting people to participate in the private beta and help people to get started if needed.
We will be selecting between 5 and 10 people to participate in the private beta, and maybe more in the following week if there are not many bugs being discovered.
If people are willing to write articles in a WIKI that we have set up for WhiteOS that would be great, this will earn you a place faster in the private beta

After a week we will begin public beta testing to ensure we have all the remaining bugs solved (if there are still any left)

What happens after the release of WhiteOS, we have some really nice unique ideas that we are willing to implement in future versions of WhiteOS, so we continue to develop on WhiteOS as a good and secure and portable OS. Once the release of WhiteOS is succesfull more features will be added


Options to install:

• On USB so it's portable (main idea and easiest)
• Under windows (Virtualbox/VMWare/Hyper-V) (easy)
