You already had the chance to see how Bitcoin miners take their “job” seriously in this post, when we wrote about the Frankenstein-like computers experts and amateurs were building in order to create digital currency.If you still had any doubt about their commitment to the mining career, the next pictures will show you that they’re here to stay.These next 20 mining rigs are totally insane!Oh and if your interested we did a review on the best bitcoin mining software so you can be sure you get the most Hash per $ spent :) This rig is so complex it even looks like a model of a small city.And in the digital currency town every light is green!Imagine the power of a machine like this.We’re confused just by looking at all these wires!You can almost feel the wind coming out of those fans.Our favorite feature of this mining rig is the supports used to balance the legs of the table.This one is really good looking: with that sleek black box and the see through plastic supports.The heap of boxes is simply amazing.

And the huge fan is a great detail.Never a simple self like this supported such a complex structure, we bet!Ooohhh, this one could belong to the movie “Avatar”.If Pandora inhabitants could connect their special “braiding” to a Bitcoin mining rig.It’s like having a wine rack full of digital money makers.It’s hard to believe that what seems like a bunch of garbage stuck in a plastic box can be the solution to your financial problems.The Antichrist of the Bitcoin mining universe.It’s like those pastimes when you have to figure out how many objects are in the picture, minus the creepy security footage that’s playing on the computer screen.Can you count the number of towers?Two great details: the blue neon lights making us go crazy and the little fan swinging on the top of the mining pyramid.Those elements on the top seem like they’re about to spit some spikes.No, they’re just making money!The mining rig of a geek with obsessive compulsive disorder.At least, this one is super organized.

We can only imagine how hard it will be to untangle all these wires… The number of fans is just too damn high!And also the danger rates.The latest trend: mine Bitcoins and make the laundry at the same time.This mining rig can create digital coins, make your lunch and raise your kids.There’s one mining rig that won’t get (too) hot.ethereum ecosystemWell, at least, that’s the goal.ethereum coin maxThis one has got to be the winner!bitcoin core syncAnd a BONUS for you: Little Baby Ghetto rig in Bitcoin Examiner office :) About Latest Posts Latest posts by Ofir Beigel (see all) [Review] Changelly VS ShapeShift– The “Instant” Cryptocurrency exchanges “Bitcoin and Ethereum…both soon obsolete” – James Ricakrds | $2623.69 “Why Bitcoin Can’t Serve As A Currency” – Seeking Alpha | $2345.56bitcoin simple voucher

Show All ItemsWant to mine some bitcoins?Want to earn for free?Have a pi not being used?Then lets mine some bitcoins!Step 1: What Is BitCoin?Show All ItemsIf you don’t know already, Bitcoin is a virtual currency set up in 2009.Bitcoin has grown in reputation over the past few years becoming a very popular as a method to pay for services over the internet.The value has rocketed recently thanks to the huge coverage in the media, for both positive and negative reasons.There are two ways to get Bitcoin:-Buying them from an exchange, which is the process of converting local currency to Bitcoin.Mining is the process of verifying transactions in the blockchain.As the whole of the Bitcoin system is decentralised, every transaction is publically viewable within what is called the blockchain.This blockchain contains every bitcoin exchanged between users so, as there is no central server, it has to be self governed.This is the job of the miners.Step 2: RequirementsIn order to mine Bitcoin, you will A pool account Bitcoin Wallet Raspberry Pi Raspbian image SD card USB Bitcoin minerStep 3: Creating an AccountShow All ItemsThere are two things you need to do:Download a bitcoin walletCreate a pool accountSet up paymentSet up workersDownload a Bitcoin WalletA wallet is a program that sits on your computer and gives you a wallet address, this is a unique string of numbers and letters that you will use to receive bitcoins.

/en/download After installation, you will have to save a file called wallet.dat, keep this file safe, as this contains your unique wallet address within it, including all bitcoins that you will gain.If you lose this file, you cannot recover any bitcoins it contained.Create a Pool Account Once you have a wallet address, create a pool account.A pool is a huge collection of other people working towards gaining bitcoins.Due to the complexity of mining a bitcoin, it has become unrealistic to solo mine–the act of processing millions of numbers to solve the block problem.Working as a group, or pool, lets everyone have a chance of earning some Bitcoin./en/download Set Up Payment Once you have created a pool account, you'll need to enter your unique wallet address into the Bitcoin payout address.Create Worker Account Next step is to create a worker login account.Within your pool account you have the ability to create something called a worker for each of your bitcoin miners, so you're able to monitor them all separately just in case one should fail.

Each worker has its own login name and password.Whilst you are on My Accountclick Register New Worker and give it a name, for example; worker, and a password.Now you're ready to set your Raspberry Pi mining for Bitcoin.Step 4: Setting Up the Raspberry PiShow All ItemsStart with a fresh Raspbian install, if you don’t know who to do this, read the tutorial How to Install NOOBS on a Raspberry Pi With a Mac.If you plan on running more than one Bitcoin miner at the same time, it is best to use a powered USB hub.Take into account the power rating as mining will need a lot of power, as much as one mp per miner.With your USB miner attached to your Raspberry Pi, let’s get everything installed.Step 5: Installing Required LibrariesThe miner to be installed comes as source files, which means that the program must be compiled into a binary before it can be run.To make a program, in this case BFGMiner, many dependencies are required.Dependencies are additional software, or libraries the program needs in order to compile properly, as it has been developed using them to make the software more efficient.

Hopefully you will be seeing the Raspbian desktop, so double click on LXTerminaland type in the following: 1) sudo apt-get update 2) sudo apt-get install autoconf autogen libtool uthash-dev libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libusb-dev libncurses-dev git-core –yThis process will take a few minutes to complete.Step 6: Installing BFGMinerShow All ItemsOnce all the dependencies have been installed, now it is time to download and install BFGMiner, so type the following into LXTerminal./luke-jr/bfgminer.gitcd bfgminer ./autogen.sh ./configure makeYou will be greeted with a screen that looks similar to the following:Step 7: Start Mining BitcoinShow All ItemsNow you’re ready to start mining.To do this, providing you're using Slush’s pool, you’ll use the following command:./bfgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -O username.worker:password -S allThe username section is composed of two parts, the username that you use to login to the pool, and worker which is the worker name you gave when you registered the worker.

Finally, the password that was set when you created the worker.That’s a lot of numbers, so I’ll make some of them a bit clearer.Current mining speed, typically calculated in megahashes or gigahashes.The number of hashes a second that can be calculated the better.A hash is an algorithm of converting numbers and letters into an undecryptable set of characters.So a miner is used to process millions of numbers in an effort to match the hash to guess the original number.The more hashes that can be processed the faster it is able to solve the problem.Number of accepted shares.A share on a pool is to show the miner has successfully worked out a given problem, so the more shares you can process the better your reward from the pool.Detailed information on accepted shares and pool updates.This is a running log of what is currently happening with the miners and basic pool information, such as messages of updates and when new blocks are found.More information can be found at the BFGminer github site.Step 8: ConclusionShow All ItemsFollowing these steps will leave you with a very energy efficient bitcoin miner, as a Raspberry Pi only uses four watts of power, and a miner is typically 2.5W.
