Just don't.
You can't really earn money passively using a mini computer.
If you want passive income, you need to invest money (and not into shady scammy garbage).



A few bucks every few months.
Doesn't seem like a lot to me. 50€ in 1.5 years. That's roughly 2.77€ per month..

IMO not worth spending any time on.

Okay, what are your suggestions to earn passive income with a raspberry pi?

Also, is this nothing?

Surfbars were popular in '90 xD, and they still gave impression of earnings, not actual earnings.
This is waste of time by me, i would focus on free automated cabbage instead

What a choice are there, i mean you can use raspberry pi for anything, but you choose surfbar and cabbage, this is very original approach on passive income.

Which one will you include from YouTube? I'm curious.

You don't have to deposit at this site. Just use their faucets a couple of times to begin with it.

Great information, I am looking forward to buying a raspberry pi, when pandemic happens I have heard a lot about it and got a recommendation to use since I am into Crypto and they are just cheap here in our online marketplace, now that we are in lockdown I have more time to study how it is structure and how can I use it to my advantages, will include your recommendation plus those on Youtube.

I was referring to the image based recaptcha from google.
Text based captchas can easily be solved by some open source tools available on github.

The service i was referring to, pays other people to solve captchas.
Your software gets the captcha, submits it to the service (where it gets solved by humans paid for it), you get the answer and can therefore solve the captcha.

This takes roughly 5-10 seconds until a captcha is solved.

Isn't the rewards would be less than what would've you deposit? In example, though it is automated to let the BOT do the multiplier, yet what would be the minimum requirements to get the full rewards? Is there even a proof that those rewards are much valuable than what you would've deposit?


Unless the captcha is image based and not the text one. Image based captchas are enhanced way to  stop automation cause by bots, and it is the most common captchas used even here in the Forum. And once the system detected you are using automation, there are chances that they would block your IP, in which is much a worse risk than simply spending little captchas on your device.

Do you have a url for this? I got several pi3 just lying around, might as well put them to good use

I heard about using Raspberry Pi for staking or mining. Not sure about mining, but I think using it for staking isn't bad idea. You can also use Raspberry to run full node, though it's not source of income.
WhenI saw topic title, I thought content will be just about Raspberry, but there is some not related things. Automate faucets or use Coinpot isn't related. Owning website isn't passive income source because maintaining website requires lot of work. And gardening isn't completely passive and free thing. You have to take care of it and also water and other stuff costs some money .
Yeah, such services exists, but faucets obviously don't allow to use it. So, you're just risking to get your account banned. And as you said, it's probably not even worth to do it for insignificant amount of BTC.

You can.
There is a service which solves it for you. You can get 1000 solved captchas for 0.5 to 1$.

Whether it is worth using that on some faucets which give little to no BTC.. i would doubt that.
But you definitely don't need to solve them yourself 

News:

Coinsurfer will close its doors in the end of the month, but there is an alternative: Simple-Crypto!

a) No, it is not gambling, because I'm regarding to the rewards. You will of course loose money with the multiplier, but the rewards will compensate the losses. I edited the OP accordingly. Thanks for the feedback. Take a look:



b) There are Faucets with no reCaptcha challenge. I for instance don't need to fill out the reCaptcha on Freebitcoin.

This is essentially gambling and not a surefire source of income.


You can't automate the reCaptcha challenge solving with a script, you'll still have to solve it manually. Or the script could try and fail to solve reCaptcha which results in reCaptcha rejecting attempts to solve it from that IP address.

Using your Raspberry Pi you can always set up a Lightning Network Node and connect your channels to other nodes.  For as little as BTC 0.0011 per channel, you can set up numerous (in reality limitless) channels with others linking to you.  You'll need to have some inbound traffic, but once you have some randoms connecting to your Node that'll take care of that.  It may not sound like much but a few satoshis trickling in will add up after a while.

Hi Bitcointalkers,

in this thread I would like to give an overview about different methods to earn passive income with a Raspberry Pi. There is some preparation needed, but in the end it will pay off. In the following I will describe these different passive-income-options. If you have other ideas, recommendations or improvements, which can be used to make passive income using the PI, feel free to post it in this thread. At this moment all three options work simultaneously at the same time at my Raspberry Pi 4. I suppose the RAM is not sufficient for running all options simultaneously for older versions, e.g. the Raspi 3.

What is a Raspberry Pi? [From Wikipedia]



Passive income option 1: Use coinsurfer!

From their website:

Coinsurfer is a website from Germany, which is using the infrastructure from ebesucher. For non-germans payouts are lower, but it?s still worth a try. You can find a thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coinsurfereu-bisher-ausgezahlt-1322259-btc-1562580

1. Open a browser on your raspberry pi.
2. Open the coinsurfer Homepage.
3. Klick in the menu on "Surfbar". Another tab will open immdiately and you will start earning SuPs, which are exchanged to BTC once per day.
4. It is helpful to automatically restart the browser. In this post you will find helpful advice and the programming code:

Option 2: Use coinpot!

Coinpot is a cryptocurrency microwallet. You have to use their multiplier with 4 tabs simultaneously. This way you will earn around 1000 satoshis/day. I recommend to start with at least 10k tokens. These tokens can be exchanged to BTC very easily. You will of course loose money with the multiplier, but the rewards will compensate the losses. I edited the OP accordingly. Thanks for the feedback





Option 3: Automate your faucets!

I suppose most of you know about faucets. This is usually not allowed by most faucets, so please be advised that using this strategy can lead to you account being banned. There are a lot of different scipts you can find for Greasy Fork or Tampermonkey. Just install the script and leave a tab with for e.g. Freebitcoin open. I recommend using this one: https://greasyfork.org/de/scripts/370982-freebitco-in-freeroll-rollbot-script



Other options:

Mining altcoins:

For a Long time I used the Pi to mine JSE Coins in the Chromium browser. It worked very well. Last month the project unfortunately ended, but there are some other coins to mine.

Staking:

The stacking of coins gives the staker authority in the underlying network. Coin staking gives the user the opportunity to participate in blockchain governance and earn a passive income. For more Information on this Topic take a look at:
https://www.cryptomorrow.com/2019/02/07/how-raspberry-pi-can-be-used-for-staking-masternodes-and-mining-crypto/

Own Website:

You can build your own homepage and use your Pi as a server. You can earn passive income with advertisement. To be honest, this option is the most hardest and definetly long-term.

Gardening:

This is not really a passive income source, but with some investment it is kind of free food.












But what about the electricity costs?

Electricity costs are crucial when it comes to the situation, that you have to pay for electricity, which is usually the case. If you live in a student dorm you should definetly consider mining. Costs for using the Pi 24/7 are highly depending on your costs for electricity, but shouldn't exceed a maximum of 10 USD per year. Take a look at the numbers:







As I already mentioned above please post about other options you know about how to earn passive income with your Raspi. If you have any qustions regarding the installation and the setup of your Raspi feel free to ask.
