| Jan 8, 2018 at 2:34 | comment | added | Brick | I especially liked the conclusion - at the end - of the article at the link: "Despite its amazing specs as a tiny board, you still won’t make a single coin even while running it 24×7 for a couple of months because the hash rate is low as hell. This tutorial is purely for educational purposes and not geared towards making money using cryptocurrency mining with Raspberry Pi!" They might have led with that. :) | |

The Pi isn't really a powerful computer in the first place (even the Pi 3 only has a 1.2 GHz clock speed, whereas any modern desktop/laptop is nearer 3 GHz today). As well as that, mining software isn't currently able to utilise the Pi's GPU, because the APIs have only just started to mature, so some of the Pi's potential power isn't currently in use (see also raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/185/58316). | |
