RE: How to install Gridcoin/BOINC on a Raspberry Pi

in #gridcoin7 years ago (edited)

You wont be competing against GPUs on a Raspberry Pi, the projects that support Pi are CPU only. Still a single Pi on its own is not going to have much impact.
I would suggest its much easier to setup and learn gridcoin on a standard windows/linux computer, running Pis isnt a good place to start, the learning curve will be very steep for you.

Sort:  

Don't you underestimate me. ;-) I don't think it will pose a huge challenge for me to get things running on a Pi.

But on the other hand, you are of course right that I could make a much higher impact with a better machine. Unfortunately, I don't have any fast system at hand these days.

Ha ha no I dont underestimate you at all, but some people find understanding BOINC + Gridcoin hard, then adding a command line only Raspberry Pi experience on top is quite a lot.
I have not covered in this post; how to select and sign up for projects, how to issue a beacon, what the reasons are to solo mine versus pool mine (and how that changes the setup process), and probably some other things I forgot too.

No problem at all. The instructions are clear enough. Thank you once again.
