For those running into any problems with the monerodo OS, you can file issues on my github:

https://github.com/Gingeropolous/monerodo/issues

And for those that can code bash shell script (oh wait thats anyone who knows linux), don't hesitate to make a pull request Granted, some of the problems may not be addressable (some deeper setting in some random .conf file), but if you install the iso on a VM (i think it works. fluffypony got it on a VM), then you can get a sense of the architecture. A primary architecture note are the upstart daemonizing files: these are created inhome/bob/monerodo/conf_files, then copied toetc/init/ . Thats the main thing. Everything is managed via upstart: bitmonerod, the simplewallet instance for the pool server, and the nvidia miner. The pool server itself is managed by forever, but is first managed by upstart. So upstart loads forever which loads the init.js . This is the only way I got it to work. And don't listen to the naysayers. Upstart is great. The ability to load things sequentially is great. There's even a way to modify monero core to release a "synchronized" signal that would initiate the simplewallet daemon, but I dropped that.

If you make a pull request, any users script set will be automatically updated because of the automatic git pull and chmod +x *.sh in the first menu.

I've already received a couple of great suggestions for version 2, so please keep them coming.

Nice work GingerAle!  I think I'll mess around with this on the Raspberry Pi 2 that I have.  Probably can't get around to it until this weekend but looking forward to setting it up.  Thanks for the great contribution to Monero! 

Hey guys, a bit of topic. But I was figuring out when Zcash will launch and how to get them, but couldn't find anything. Somebody maybe knows this? Thanks a lot!

Excellent!

a new option could perhaps be added : Restore your accounts from MyMonero seed

i tried it and i was able to restore a wallet from a 12 words seed from MyMonero (the thirteenth word is unused, checksum only)

the test code is here: https://github.com/Arux-BTT/bitmonero.git
then a simplewallet compatible with mymonero seed will be able into build/release/bin as usual.
follow instructions and type the twelve first words of your mymonero seed (not the thirteenth)
at the end, simplewallet will crash (core dumped) but no matter, wallet is successfully creating.

the mymonero seed:and accounts details:
simplewallet in action: (notice that the last word ("poker" in this example) is missing, seed is twelve words only)



it's crashing but a relaunch later:



funds are spent without MyMonero

a little bug with viewkey command:



a bash script could certainly automate it.

ps: all credit to warptangent's code

I made draft of this chart with texts on Trello https://trello.com/c/cIpNQm0J

When downloading Monerodo OS and installing the universal USB installer of Linux on a thumb drive... what would be a good recommended thumb drive to use?  It says certain ones wont work on here.  I guess just any kind that isn't a "Fat 16, 32, or NTFS" obviously... but what are some good cheap ones that hold a lot of memory?

This question comes up often enough that I think that merging the code would be beneficial. One less think for people to worry about.

The instructions are on nodebox.link

You need the universal USB installer. The big 2 gig file is an .iso file, which is a disk image - it has custom operating system on it. The Universal USB Installer takes this ISO and then makes your USB stick an install stick (like a Windows 10 install disc, but so much better). Once the universal USB installer plops the .iso onto the USB stick, you can stick that USB stick into your other computer and force it to boot to it (by getting into the bios menu and changing the boot order). From there it drives itself.

sorry to be flodding our ANN. I didn't want to add more fuel to the ermagerd you monero folk just keep making more threads. Though I guess this could go over to the Monero Support thread.

I would like to hear a comparison of the z-cash and monero. what are the benefits and tradeoffs of the two? I have not spent any time looking into it but I'm sure others in this community have so can someone give us a synopsis if this is a threat as it sounds like it tries to fill the same market space as XMR.
