Is it already possible to do cold staking on a raspberry pi. Are there instructions where to retrieve and how to compile the wallet? I can only find tutorials for the 'old' stratis wallet.
cold staking is yet to be activated...when 95% of stakers move to the new wallet cold staking will be activated and then you will be able to cold stake using a raspberry...you can stake on raspberry now, its just that your wallet needs to be open till cold staking gets activated.
I know I can stake on a raspberry now. I've been doing that for the last year.
I only wondered if I have to use a new wallet once cold staking is activated or if it is also possible with the Stratis wallet.
Is the wallet you're using on the Pi the Stratis QT-Wallet?
Yes
For now you are fine to continue using the qt-wallet. However, at some point the qt client will be phased out by the Stratis. It is not known whether this will be before cold staking is activated or after, simply because it's not possible to know when cold staking will be activated (since it is up to the users to show support for activation of cold staking by staking through Stratis Core - by staking through the qt-wallet, you are implicitly showing support AGAINST cold staking, which is a decision every user has the right to make individually).
If I had to give some advice, I'd suggest that you prefer to stake on the Pi, stick with the qt-wallet for now, because the Stratis Core wallet needs to optimised for Pi. Once the Stratis Core wallet has been optimised for the Pi, it's probably best to switch to Core on the Pi (there will be clear guides to follow once it comes to it, and support for people making the switch). It's best to switch for a few different reasons, and not just for the activation of cold staking. There are security improvements for both the wallet and for the overall network, extra functionality etc.
Hope this helps answer your question
Yes, this answered my question. Thanks a lot.
