Hello all, I’m new here, and I have a couple of queries, which I have been reading through posts but I can’t seem to find anything really answering what I have in mind…
I have a Raspberry Pi 3, just sitting there with nothing to do, as well as a small 15" LCD monitor. I was thinking about setting it up to begin with as a litecoin miner, as I have read that it can be done. From my understanding, it’s not much in the way of power to get much in the way of results, but here is where I would begin to expand on questions.
I am very limited on resources, but if I could get hold of a USB antminer, those ones I’ve seen advertised with 330MH/s, and then maybe add more as I can get hold of them, can they be easily added to the setup as they arrive? Is it really worth it? I’m not just seeing it as a “make money” thing, but also to learn things, as I’m still quite new also to RPi itself and still learning things about them (the stagnant RPi isn’t the only one I have here to play with). One advantage I do have is my electricity is included in the price of my rent, so I don’t have to pay extra for having something set up 24/7.
What kind of actual hash figures can someone expect from a setup like this? I mean, people say what you see advertised and what you actually get are 2 very different things.
Anyway, hope someone finds this lost noob worthy of some time to answer those or some of those questions hehehe
