@tminer0315 There is already Information out there on the Forum about mining with the rasp afaik, just search around. General consesus seems to be that its possible but with only very few People actually doing it, they like the very low energy consumption of course. Remember even a thread out there where one guy build a realtime ticker/external device on the Rasp showing actual Prices of Burst against the BTC. Using some exchanges API (polo?) Cant remember.
Another guy wrote/built a trading bot on the Rasp, very simple and only very very Basic functions for trading, but still. Afaik i didnt read about on here but over there on Burstnation. No a real Rasp guy sorry, but anyway hth.

there are cross platform miners, it's just a matter of getting the source from probably github and building it. the plotting i'd recommend doing on another / faster pc
-
Thanks for the help ill trying it out by running a version of android and then using the burstcoin wallet app to plot (i know it will take long time) and then mine. Thanks for the help and donations.

Also i am new to this, does your account id change every time you login, because i didnt recive any burst?

Well, I have tried the creepminer on raspberry pi 3 as well as rasberry pi 1.
I used raspian jessie lite, no gui. Obviously the Pi1 is slower than the Pi 3, 10 times slower, but is good enough for upto 4TB drives.Obviously you should have external power for the drives.

Looked at mining with my old Tonidoplug v2, but it's quite a bit older with ARMv5. But it's more for entertainment than anything else.
I'd probably do it with a pi3, you'd save quite a bit of electricity over running a full sized tower if you're under 50TB
-
@captinkid The thing is, the Pi will probably take a long time to read 50TB. Otherwise it's just great.
I would instead suggest using multiple Pi Zeros, It's cheaper, you can get 3 for the price of one Pi3.
I am not sure about armv5 but do tell me if you try it out!
