Does anyone know of a special miner build that has been optimized for ARM processors? Do ARM processors even have any instructions that are useful for hashing purposes?

I was kind of wondering if I could somehow put my Raspberry Pi board to work mining Yacs ... :-)

You don't need a special build, you can compile the scrypt-jane minerd on ARM, though I needed to do a couple minor source code modifications so that it compiles.

In case you are wondering, it's not worth it, hash rate is (with current N=512) 0.23kh/s out of the box, 0.24kh/s after some ARM compiler flags  Tongue
