The Core wallet was compiled on the latest distribution release of **Raspbian OS(Stretch 2018-06-27)**

# Requirements
* Raspberry Pi 2B/3B(+)
* SD Card(Minimum 16GB) with [Raspbian OS](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) installed
* Some Coffee and free time 😛

---

### Increase Swapfile

* Turn off swapfile.

`
sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
`

* Edit the file “/etc/dphys-swapfile”.

`
sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
`

We are going to change the default size of the swap file from `100` to `2048`.

* Find the line:
```
CONF_SWAPSIZE=100
```
* Change To:
```
CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048
```
* Press `CTRL-X` and then `Y`, then `Enter` to save the file.

* Run the commands below to initiate this new swap file.

`
sudo dphys-swapfile setup &&
sudo dphys-swapfile swapon
`

---

### Tweak Swap Settings: OPTIONAL(For faster and better experience)

* Type:

`
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=20
`

* Edit the file "/etc/sysctl.conf".

`
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf 
`

* Add to end of configuration file.

`
vm.swappiness=20
`

* Press `CTRL-X` and then `Y`, then `Enter` to save the file.

### Install the Core Dependencies and Uninstall libssl-dev

* The reason we are uninstalling `libssl-dev` is that it requires an older version to compile the wallet on *Raspbian Stretch*.

* Copy and paste the entire commands below.

```
sudo apt-get update && 
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git autoconf libminiupnpc-dev openssl libevent-dev libtool libboost-all-dev qt4-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev libqrencode-dev autoconf libdb-dev protobuf-compiler libdb4.8++ libdb5.3++-dev && 
sudo apt-get remove -y libssl-dev
```

### Edit Repo Sources

Edit the file "/etc/apt/sources.list".

`
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
`

* Find:
```
stretch main contrib non-free rpi
```
* Edit where it says `stretch` to `jessie`
* Press `CTRL-X` and then `Y`, then `Enter` to save the file.

#### Re-install `libssl-dev`

`
sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev
`

#### Revert edit on `sources.list`

`
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
`

* Find:
```
jessie main contrib non-free rpi
```

* Edit where it says `jessie` back to `stretch`
* Press`CTRL-X` and then `Y`, then `Enter` to save the file.

### Setup & Encrypt Wallet

* This is very strongly recommended to keep your funds secure but not required. Change `YOUR_PASSWORD` to your own password.

`
BitF-cli encryptwallet YOUR_PASSWORD
`
#### To Unlock Wallet

* `TIMEOUT_TIME` is the timeout period for how long the wallet will be unlocked.

`
BitF-cli walletpassphrase YOUR_PASSWORD TIMEOUT_TIME
`

### Create New Address

* Change `YOUR_WALLET_NAME` to your own wallet name.

`
BitF-cli getnewaddress YOUR_WALLET_NAME
`


### Unlock Wallet for Staking Only

* Change `YOUR_PASSWORD` to your own password, `99999999` is the timeout period for how long the wallet will be unlocked, but is enabled for staking only with `true`.

`
BitF-cli walletpassphrase YOUR_PASSWORD 99999999 true
`

* After unlocking the wallet for staking, wait sometime before checking Staking status.

`BitF-cli getstakingstatus`

* Results should look the same.

```
{
  "validtime": true,
  "haveconnections": true,
  "walletunlocked": true,
  "mintablecoins": true,
  "enoughcoins": true,
  "mnsync": true,
  "staking status": true
}
```
