After a few ages of struggle I just managed to setup a masternode in a Raspberry Pi 3 B+
Here is the step-by-step tutorial on how I did it!
What you need:
·Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (not sure how would it work in different raspberries)
·Raspbian Stretch. Download it here ---> https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
·8 free GB plus whatever the chainsize requires
·Full access to your router
·One cold beer for the waiting time.
SETTING THE RASPBERRY
-Step 1: Download and install Raspbian. In order to install the image to the SD card, will be using Etcher -->https://etcher.io
-Step 2: Load the .img file you downloaded from the raspberrypi website into Etcher. Open the beer ;)
-Step 3: Attach the RJ-45, mouse and keyboard and the HDMI or any video-output, then power the Raspberry
-Step 4: Now we have to download the latest updates in order to compile the wallet we will set the masternode for:
Open the console (4th icon in the top of the screen, the one that looks like this: [>_]) and type:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
-Step 5: Once its done, we will have to download the following dependencies by copy-pasting in the console the following:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libcrypto-dev libevent-dev libminiupnpc-dev libgmp-dev libboost-all-dev devscripts libdb-dev libsodium-dev libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libcrypto++-dev libminiupnpc-dev qt5-default
Hit 'Y' whenever you are asked to
-Step 6: Now we are almost ready to compile the wallet, but here it comes the trick to make all this magic happen.
Type in the console cd && sudo apt-get remove libssl-dev
Then: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
A notepad within the console will open. There we will replace "stretch" by "jessie"
Should look like this:
Ctrl + O to save it, then Ctrl + X to quit Nano (text editor)
-Step 7: After you've done the said change, type in the console:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Now we almost ready to start minting coins and enjoying masternode rewards!
COMPILE THE WALLET
I'll be using Ignition for this example, but any other will do:
git clone https://github.com/ignitioncoin/ignitioncoin
cd ignitioncoin
cd src
make -f makefile.unix
This will take some time: Told you. Go grab a beer!
Once its done, you can find the Ignition daemon in /bin folder. Go there and
./ignitiond
Then you will encounter a msg akin to an error: NO PROBLEMO
cd ~/.ignition
nano ignition.conf
There we will copy-paste this:
rpcuser=Input here a username
rpcpassword=Input here a cool password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
Save and quit (Ctrl-O, Ctrl-X)
Start the daemon again: ./ignitiond
Now its a matter of time to synch with the chain... once its done (we can check the block height status with ./ignitiond getinfo) we only need to route the ports to the raspberry's local IP -or- set the DMZ to its LAN IP (192.168.1.XXX) and to configure the masternode in the local wallet.

Be carefull with the DMZ tho, its not very secure to use that: better forward the masternode port.
Donate a beer to motivate me making more guides:
