raspberry pi + raspbian + minning
-
Hey, there
I just bought an external HD and I'm planning to use a raspberry pi to mine burstcoin but I'm having trouble setting up the miner (I do not know which one to use and how to use it, lol)
Can anybody help me?
I'm using a RASPBERRY PI and I'm running RASPBIANThank you so much!

@DCaye get the miner working with the drive on your pc with linux first, then try with the PI
-
@iKnow0 Sorry for barging into your post DCaye, this is for iKnow by the way.
I was looking to do this with my pi, does this mean I can plot it on my main pc, and then move the drive to the pi?
-
@rapidfireman i do not see why not, plotting and mining are entirely two different things.
-
@iKnow0 Would read times be an issue though
-
@rapidfireman that would depend on the interface to the drives, run a test and find out. You would be the first to PI mine a.f.a.i.k
-
@iKnow0 thanks! I''m gonna try, then I put the result here. Any suggestion for ubuntu + 5tb?

@DCaye
I tried RPI, the ARM miners causes plenty of errors and not supported.
-
@rapidfireman @iKnow0 @DCaye @rnahlawi I don't have any experience with Pi's but it's possible to put some Android version into a Pi? If so you could do it and use the Android Burst Wallet to mine and i am pretty sure it will work, just remind that every plot have to be 1Gb (4096 nonces) and the stagger has to be 1Gb (4096) too xD
Just throughing the idea out there xP
I readed around here some months ago that someone had tried and didn't were sucessfull mining with Pi but i think there is someone using another ARM to mine, maybe it was @rnahlawi, i am not sure xD

@gpedro
Pi uses Debian, so in theory, the Linux miners should work. or that's what i thought :)
I haven't tried an Android version as OS for the PI, but in any case the mobile miner is not ready yet, or is it?
You are referring to this post: https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/786/raspberry-pi-miner/12
Many tests were done, but -for me- I abandoned the RPI (even that I would love to see it working) and got me a low-end PC to mine and a high-end PC to Plot.
If you're interested to test the Arm tools follow this link: https://github.com/dawallet/burst_arm_tools and give it a shot.

@rnahlawi The mobile miner is in test for now but it's constantly being improved by @IceBurst and @daWallet ...
That was exactly the thread i remembered and looks like the user i was talking about is @piezo and he was mining on a Odroid XU4 like he said in there... I would say to give a shot at the Android app if you want to test it, and maybe if you find something that could be improved tell @IceBurst or @daWallet ...The Android App is supposed to be for Androids but if it runs on a Pi i don't see a reason for not expand his capacities for that too, right? xD
I don't have any ARM besides my Android but i think ARM is the future and that makes the low power consumption of Burst to a whole new level so i would say that worth the shot?! Either way if you test it let us now how it goes xD
