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
PressCTRL-X and then Y, then Enter to save the file.

mkdir ~/bin &&
cd ~/bin &&
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz &&

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
