What's New
Coin splitting will only split your coins if they are above 100K
Updated masternode winner selection to make rewards fairer. You should expect 1 reward every 24 hours.
Added checks so masternodes don't earn twice on their coins by staking. If you earned a reward as a masternode and want to stake with the coins instead you'll need to send them to yourself or wait ~9 days
Remove old masternodes on unsupported wallets.
Prevent running more than 1 masternode per IP. This is to stop unfair payments to people attempting to trick the network without contributing

Samsung Exynos version of Linda wallet:

tested on: Odroid U2 board with Exynos4412 Prime. 1.7Ghz ARM Cortex-A9 Quad Cores 2GB RAM and 16GB SD card

Raspberry Pi version of Linda wallet only:

Raspberry Pi is not powerful computer with limited amount of RAM, and because of that next couple of steps are needed to make Linda wallet on Raspberry Pi as responsive as possible.

Note that this Linda wallet will start just fine also if you don't follow steps bellow, but it will get slow up to point to not be usable anymore as whole blockchain is synchronised...so those steps are recommended...

*Tested on Raspberry Pi 3B using Raspbian Stretch with desktop (kernel 4.14), it schuld work with other versions of OS also.

Before starting Linda wallet you need to do next:
((if you started Linda wallet before doing this steps, please close wallet, go to /home/pi/.Linda and delete all files and folders, than open terminal , cd /home/pi --> Enter, rmdir .Linda --> Enter ))

Class 10 micro sd card needed (16GB is enough), used for Raspbian operating system
USB flash drive (8GB is enough), used for Linda blockchain storage
Virtual memory (swap) need to be changed from 100MB (standard in Raspbian) to 2048MB:
*open terminal and follow next steps:
sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
The default value in Raspbian is:
CONF_SWAPSIZE=100
We will need to change this to:
CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048
Then you will need to stop and start the service that manages the swapfile own Rasbian:
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
You can then verify the amount of memory + swap by issuing the following command:
free -m
using file manager make folder on USB flash drive named .Linda (dotLinda)
make symlink of .Linda folder on usb flash disk to: /home/pi/.Linda:
/etc/fstab need to have lines that looks something like this:
###Mount FAT USB###
UUID=xxxxxxxx /media/usb vfat defaults,user,exec 0 0
###Bind /home/pi/.Linda to /media/usb/.Linda###
/media/usb/.Linda /home/pi/.Linda none bind 0 0
There are different possibilities to make symlink in linux, google is your friend
Next step is to start Linda wallet you downloaded:

Place Linda-qt file in /home/pi/Linda folder (make Linda folder with file manager)
start Linda wallet with double click on Linda-qt

Another possibility is to open terminal:
cd /home/pi/Linda --> Enter
./Linda-qt --> Enter

Please wait until blockchain is synced... wallet will feel unresponsive, but let it be until is synced

if wallet is not starting or you get permission error:
chmod 775 ./Linda-qt --> Enter
./Linda-qt --> Enter

Usage of Lindad is exactly the same... all steps are needed. (if you made steps already for Linda wallet, it is not needed to do it again for Lindad, as Lindad is using same files and folders as Linda wallet)

if Lindad is not starting or you get permission error:
chmod 775 ./Lindad --> Enter
./Linda-qt --> Enter
