[How To] Stakebox (replacement for the Peerbox)

irritant · October 13, 2019, 8:25pm

have you looked at ~/.peercoin/debug.log?

Ok perfect, thank you.

I did a tail on that file and it says:

2019-10-14 23:03:51 Error: Out of memory. Terminating.

irritant · October 15, 2019, 8:26pm

how much memory does your system have? try enabling swap

Fabryz · October 15, 2019, 8:50pm

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 model B, so it should be 1GB RAM. I followed this post instructions to set a swap file to 2048MB and restarted both pi and peercoin, will see what happens, thanks

Fabryz · October 16, 2019, 8:06am

It seems to be working as it survived the night
So if anyone else has a crashing issue with the Peercoin client on Raspberry Pi 2, just add a swap partition or a swap file with a decent size and it should do the job

Thanks everyone

thehuntergames · May 15, 2020, 8:57pm

bump

peerchemist · May 18, 2020, 11:09pm

Debian (Buster) repo updated, report if you find any issues.

thehuntergames · May 19, 2020, 5:37am

sudo apt-get upgrade did not upgrade de wallet on the stakebox.
cant you post the deb file here again?
or give more detail how to do otherwise?

peerchemist · May 19, 2020, 5:54pm

Which version of debian are you using on the stakebox? Older one, stretch (9)?

You can manually update it by downloading package from github: https://github.com/peercoin/peercoin/releases/tag/v0.9.0ppc

thehuntergames · May 19, 2020, 7:56pm

thx for the link.
I have manually installed the strech version without any problems.
I think the image found on https://files.peercoin.net is a stretch too

peerchemist · May 19, 2020, 8:06pm

Yes but you can update running debian installation to a new version.

thehuntergames · May 20, 2020, 6:48pm

I am pretty confident folks who buy a stakebox just to mint their coins dont upgrade to buster unless it has an UI.

peerchemist · May 20, 2020, 7:16pm

But it does have an UI

thehuntergames · May 23, 2020, 4:57pm

I bought an new sd card and flashed raspbian Buster on it to see if it can be done without buying a stakebox
What is the simplest way to strider on it?
I cant find the FAQ how to add peercoin in the distributionlist?

I’m not having much luck installing on a Raspberry Pi Zero W (Buster). Is there a working build for armv6?

peerchemist · May 25, 2020, 11:33am

It seems Zero W is using 1st gen armv6 CPU. I will try to compile for that platform.

peerchemist · May 25, 2020, 12:15pm

Ok compiling for Buster-armel. Will attach build here first so you can test and tell me if it works.

peerchemist · May 25, 2020, 2:54pm

Debian Buster Arm v6 (armel) packages bellow, please test if you have 1st gen Raspberry Pi or Raspberry Pi Zero (W).

peercoind_0.9.0-1_armel.deb (1.4 MB) peercoin-qt_0.9.0-1_armel.deb (3.8 MB)

everson1123 · May 25, 2020, 9:43pm

Thanks for the file updates. The new packages failed to install citing unmet dependencies. For example…

“peercoin-qt:armel : Depends: libatomic1:armel (>= 4.8) but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-chrono1.67.0:armel but it is not installable
Depends: …”

I don’t have much experience with these platforms so take what I say with a grain of salt. Libboost-chrono1.67.0, for instance, is already installed on my system. It’s a Raspbian sourced build labeled as ‘armhf’ which I understand to mean ARMv6 + VFP in Raspberry Pi terms. So the dependency as installed should be compatible.

As an additional note when I originally used the Peercoin APT method everything installed normally, but binaries failed to run with an ‘illegal instruction’ error implying the executables were built for v7+.

Here are the processor ID details for my Pi Zero W:

model name : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)
BogoMIPS : 997.08
Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0xb76
CPU revision : 7

Thanks for your help
