Any small form factor PC isn't suitable for cryptocurrency mining. But, i suggest you to run master nodes or run full nodes on coins which use Proof-of-Stake instead which could make more profit Roll Eyes

Seriously, HDD mining with the Pi

Im now debating doing this. I have 2x RasPi 3's and a 2 here that Im doing nothing with. And I was thinking about trying Burst out anyway. WIll be scouring the web now to figure this out

There are usually really great tutorials on the Raspberry Pi forums if that helps.

How many Pi's are we talking about?

1?  For practice, OK.
10? Not worth the time or money.
1000? Maybe things get a little interesting, but its power efficiency isn't on par with a desktop CPU, much less a GPU.  Not to mention it's ridiculously expensive.

I have two lying around so all two of them, I doubt I will make anything. Currently at work we have 16 computers with i5 processors and we're looking to potentially cluster them for crypto currency mining, any suggestions on what currency?

Seriously, I believe the Raspberry Pi is a smart choice for HDD mining.
You might want to plot with something else, though. No idea.

I have a few lying around so I haven't exactly got anything to lose.

In the past it was even possible to mine Bitcoin on a Raspberry Pi. Many people used to buy a lot of them and setup mini mining farms using them. As far as I know, Raspberry Pi isn't powerful anymore to mine any altcoin with satisfying earnings. You had better used it for running for example a Bitcoin node which could benefit the network or a Lightning Network node from which you will be able to profit.

raspberry pi 3 is far too inferior in computational power
it can mine but it wont be worth it
but you can use raspberry pi 3 to stake pos coins

Does anyone know any alt coins that could be mined with significant rewards from a Raspberry Pi 3?
