If you manage to compile a CPU miner in Raspbian or another distro, let us know the hashrates.

I can't imagine even the Pi 3 could mine very fast, but am curious to see what it can do. A small overclock and some active cooling might surprise us.

will do mate

It would take too many Pi's to amount to anything. Scaling CPU mining is difficult because there is
so much overhead required for each CPU. It's probably better to go with the cheapest, most efficient
platform that supports a real CPU, all the mining SW is already supported. A cluster of mobile i7's
would be interesting.

Yeah thats what im finding but ill look at it from all angles just something im interested in see where it can go but thanks for the feed back

Thanks for the reply guys , yeah probly goes back to when i mine BTC blocks in the dark ages of cryptos , i just like the idea , got rigs for sha,scrypt and X's but was just looking at CPU mining again , might as a project build a Pi cluster just to test it out and see what happens , got a few ideas , but if I find anything interesting ill post it here if anyone is interested

i was seen a guy that is succesfully mined coin magi (xmg) with raspberry pi.you can find this on main magi thread.
he was probably modded current x86 miners for magi.

Hi,

I got a fleet of Xeons,
that can do a lot of work in the backend,
but mining under RHEL (the one and only) ist pain.

Xeon E3-1240v5 brings about ~28 sol/s.

Only CPUs with AVX2 can ROI (as a low priority job in background).

... working on LXC-Containers from now.

Under the circumstance of operating CPUs if you mine Zec an Intel i5 6400t will do about 20h.

An Intel i7 6700t running 5 threads will do 20h maybe 22h.

So if you have a company that is using pcs already you could run some .

In a USA mall if you rent a kiosk the power is included and you have a pc for the shop.

Running CPU mining makes some sense.
But building a CPU rig just to mine is going to lose out.

CPU mining of any kind is not profitable now. Even high end CPUs with free power will only turn few bucks per month. If you have to pay for electricity you will be in a loss

Hi BITDV,

my guess is, this will never ROI,
except you got "a few thousands" Raspberrys running "somewhere",
and a hole lot of "free" spare-time ^^ .

Just my 2 Satoshis.

Has anyone built or looked into building Raspberry Pi clusters for CPU mining ??

An interested in cpu mining and wondering about building a cpu rig , to say

any feed back welcome
