Re: Is Raspberry Pi mining profitable ???

With the exception of the Avalon A7 which uses a RPI as its controller, there isn't any Bitcoin miner that is profitable and needs the RPI to control it. The Gridseed is mainly used to mine LTC and it isn't too profitable (maybe a couple pennies if you're lucky). Don't even think about mining BTC with it for profit- when it was released, the miner had below-average efficiency for its time. Now it's just an energy hog and mostly a collectible.

Additionally, if you are talking about Scrypt or other alt coin mining please move this out of Bitcoin mining speculation.

Shall I take it as ,,, THERE IS NO PROFIT WITH BITCOIN MINING Huh

?

If i can make 2 or 4$ a day, with mining as profit, that will be great .

How much does your power cost per kwatt?

8 cents a kwatt means you have a chance to profit.

Bitcoin miners are very loud.

The Avalon 741 is about 800 usd. Add a rasp pi and a psu it is near 1000 it make 8 or 9 a day.

Good luck buying it.

Can't you save money by flashing the Pi yourself? I recall I saw a guide for doing that by Avalon and it seems that'd save you a lot over how much Avalon charges. For PSUs you can get a decent server psu that can power it under 100 or rarely 80-50, so it'd be closer to 900 if you're lucky.

I built 3 rasp pi 3s I can build one for about 60 it is better then the one they sell for 100. i use a 16gb card they use a 8 gb card.

so
794 avalon 741
60 rasp pi 3
90 1200 watt psu that runs 1 you need 240 volt power to run at top speed but you can run at -2 with 120 volt power

944 total cost

if you do 2

1588
60
119 2400 watt psu that runs 2 only uses 208-240 volt power
1767 for 2
