Topic: New Miner S7 w/ raspberry pi (Read 634 times)
S3 should be very quiet. It was once popular for college students living in dorms.
Thanks guys.
What I did was order an s3+ and a PSU. I want to get my feet wet, figure out how to run this and connect to a pool and get going.
I have the PSU now, the S3+ should arrive in a day or 2.
Noise is an issue, but I think it can be managed by keeping the unit in a sound dampening box.
I have a bitcoin wallet from bitaddress.org and set up an account with coinbase.com and gdax.com
I am 100% interested in mining altcoins, but want to learn with something simple and close to plug and play to start with. I have been watching allot of videos and reading but still have allot to learn!
On another note, I want some excuse to use the raspberry Pi so I need to figure out what to do with that thing!

Since electricity is free, the key factor to look at is H/s/$. It used to be that S3 and S5 were in the sweet spot, but now I suspect S7 would probably be as well and would be a great choice if noise is not much of a problem. For a PSU, look no further than surplus server PSUs.
On your budget, you might be able to get two S7s, but I would recommend starting with one so you'll get some experience with mining before scaling up. Also don't overlook altcoin mining.

All bitmain miners come with their own controller. The only miner that would make use of that RPi is the Avalon 741
Hello,
I am looking to get into mining bitcoin.
I have a raspberry pi 3 now.
Power is free
Data is $10 USD/GB
Looking to invest ~$700.
Would getting a S7 with a PSU be a good option or what setup do you guys recommend?
How hard is this to set up?
