Close Raspberry Pi BTC Mining Rig Use a raspberry pi and other cheap parts to make a bitcoin mining rig.Step 1: Install Raspbian on an SD card or micro SD card depending on which model Raspberry Pi you have.Slot it into the Raspberry Pi.Step 2: Plug one side of the HDMI cable into the Raspberry Pi and the other side into your display.Step 3: Power up your Raspberry Pi and install the Raspbian OS.(You can just use the NOOBS package on an SD card)Step 4: Configure your settings and login.Default Username: PiDefault Password: raspberryStep 5: You will see a terminal.Type: startxStep 6: Plug in your Wifi USB and configure a wifi connection.Step 7: Plug in your USB Hub.Step 8: Prepare your USB Fan.Step 9: Make a mining pool account, I'll be using slush's pool as an example, and bitcoin wallet.Step 11: Open Terminal./luke-jr/bfgminer.gitcd bfgminer ./autogen.sh./configuremakeStep 12: Plug in ASIC USB Chip and cool it with your usb fan.Step 13: run these last commands.cd bfgminer./bfgminerhttp://mining.bitcoin.cz:3333username.workerpasswordStep 14: If your USB is not detected type (type these separately):M+autoif still not detected replace "auto" with "all"Killj0yWarning: You may want to update bfgminer to the latest version as different version use different commands, I am using the latest one so far: 5.4.1 1 1 1 1 1 Enjoy this project?

Move over, mega-miners: an Andreessen-backed venture is going to beat off your data-centre rigs with $400 worth of Raspberry Pi-powered brick.Rather than take the magic to the press, the 21 Bitcoin Computer landed direct to Amazon for pre-order by enthusiasts, developers, and suckers.bitcoin central pirateUnits will actually ship in November … Post your comment House rules Send corrections Why the fan?bitcoin central suisseWhat's the idea of a fan on a RasPi?own bitcoin forkNot like it generates that much heat.dogecoin bank0 10 Re: Why the fan?Unless I've misunderstood, they've attached a daughterboard to the RasPi with a bitcoin processor on it.I assume that the fan is to keep the bitcoin processor cool, not the Pi itself.

18 0 Re: Why the fan?It is not a fan, its where all the bitcoins will come out.52 0 It's time for the goldrush!"It's time for the goldrush!Come and get your shovels here and YOU could be the next millionaire!"In other news, a shovel seller was reported as becoming a millionaire recently... 45 0 Doesn't sound like it's mining coins at all.The blurb is a bit vague but sounds like this is aimed at setting up internet commerce and performing transactions in Bitcoin.0 0 Looking at the Amazon website, does anyone think how similiar Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz look alike?1 0 I've read the article and the Amazon listing and I still don't know what this does extra that can't be done with free software.$400 could buy you a Th/s+ Antminer which would pay back some of that $400, then by choosing the right moment to sell on the Antminer would leave you a little profit.0 1 Reminds me of the comment about the Analytical Engine that the only use for it would be to calculate how much it had cost 7 1 Can it pull a caravan?

If not then I'm not interested as I have a moped for that.2 0 How long would it take to repay the outlay on the kit?2 1 and former US treasury secretary Larry Summers That is all I need to know to stay away.The two most important specifications are the two that are conspicuously absent : power consumption and hashrate.8 0 Re: Specs?I suspect the power consumption is probably low, looking at the barrel connector.However the commensurate hash rate is also low at a guess.The picture shows just one chip with no markings on it.Assuming the chip is an BM1385 (as a first guess) then 30 GHash/s and a power draw of about 10 Watts.Mind you, assuming my very crude guesses are right, then the Antminer S7 is about 150 times faster for three times the cost, so this is very bad value for money.3 1 Reminds me of..The pic reminds me of kids that put a coffee-can muffler and a giant spoiler on a stock Honda Civic and think it's a race car.16 0 Re: Reminds me of.. If they can afford coffee, they can afford a proper race car.

Hey!Aerodramatics are important on a race car!2 0 HK Property Bubble You'll need to mine a lot of bitcoins to pay for your data centre in HK.Over US $1,000,000 for an apartment that is the size of a few TEU.As with everything here, it's cheap until you have to find somewhere to put it.1 0 Steady Stream of bitcoins It might be a stream in the way that the pitch-drop experimenter is a torrential rain-shower... 6 0 Re: Steady Stream of bitcoins ...if the pitch was running backwards; once you add the electricity cost in.3 0 I think I will wait until the BYTE miner comes out.(Reputedly EIGHT TIMES FASTER) Joke Alert (just for the Germans) 1 0 Seems legit... Hmm... This has got to be some elaborate scam or something to try to get rich selling junk.Like others have said, no mention of hash rate, which is key for bitcoin mining.Also, just read the "testimonials", which all appear to be made up "If I were 21 today, I'd learn Bitcoin" - Marc Andreesen, Inventor of the web browser "Bitcoin could be the internet's next big protocol" - Padmasree Warrior, Former CTO of Cisco "Are you a developer?

Then you need to get a 21 Bitcoin computer" - Ben Horowitz 1 0 Re: Seems legit... There's no suggestion that it is meant to be a mining ASIC.There is no real suggestion as to what it actually is.1 0 Hmmmm.. PiCoins Why not set up a blockchain that is Pi specific so people can mine their own PiCoins using the stock kit, no cheating now, and use them on the Pi Swag Shop...?You used the wrong vowel.Don't you mean crapto-currency?2 0 If this really worked, why don't they make them for their own exclusive use, and get infinitely rich?Just make more and deploy more as the pockets get deeper.. I guess it doesn't work then.0 0 "I guess it doesn't work then."Well, it would make money for the creator - so it does work in a sense.0 0 "The blurb is a bit vague but sounds like this is aimed at setting up internet commerce and performing transactions in Bitcoin."I wouldn't need that huge (well not that big I guess) heatsink and fan to run the Pi.

This thing does have a Bitcoin mining circuit (often times an FPGA) attached.Anyway... I'm assuming the bitcoin mining speed isn't too quick?Don't know for sure, but generally the bitcoin rigs that have any resonable chance of ever making you a bitcoin use 100s-1000W of power, they'd have a much larger cooling system than pictured in TFA; and the (seemingly) more reasonble setups are enough slower than the high-end rigs that you're chance of ever mining a bitcoin are pretty low.1 0 Putting the bitcoin mining aside for the moment... Will it play Crysis 3 0 0 Really?This "article" and following comments denote the idiocy our youngest generations.This is really bad.0 2 Re: Really?4 1 Re: Really?@jaume Congratulations, you have invented the self commenting comment.2 0 Well, I like it To me this seems a very cool bit of kit.0 0 Unbelievable how many really believe the hash-power/mining abilities to be focal and subsequent comments from people commenting who have absolutely no clue what the fuck they're talking about.

First of all, if you think this device was designed and/or is being marketed with its hash power as a focal point or attribute than you clearly aren't too familiar with the climate of the current crypto-space (i.e.proclivity towards mining becoming (seemingly) inevitably more centralized) and how, in part, this device attempts to tackle that issue head on.It's also not a Raspberry Pi, it's a proprietary board and its process came complete with prefabs and the whole process believe it or not.Does it have similarities spec.Sure, but what dev.boards aren't in at least the same arena in that regard?It's pretty unfortunate that the author of this garbage attempt at journalism?is a direct reflection of the mind behind the words, words a lot of readers will even more unfortunately take at face value.It's clear you've not done your home-work one bit, if you had watched or listened to Balaji S. Srinivasan speak about the project, its purpose, or his feelings about blockchain tech., Bitcoin, and what his thoughts about the future behold, you would then have been able to publish something with perhaps one dab of fucking credence, instead you fueled a fire of retarded comments being..well..ignorant - trying to take jabs and commenting on something they truly don't know about.
