@sundownz damn that is some serious CPU powah!

Here are some pics of my newly finished XU4 rig. Some descriptions at imgur:

Hashing at ~450h/m each for a total of 5400h/m and mining Verium of course :>

@eddex very intriguing machine you have there, I am mining with my CPU ( Ryzen 1800x) because I recently discover that CPU mining is still possible. Even I don´t touch Linux for quiet some years, can you share your specs and configurations, I would like to go deep into CPU mining and your machine seems to be the way. Many thanks

Hi, I'd suggest reading Birtys guide here: https://steemit.com/verium/@birty/cpu-mining-is-back-a-complete-how-to-guide-and-profit-analysis-for-verium-mining-on-a-farm-of-single-board-computers-part-1

It's somewhat outdated but still a nice starting point. Also, join the slack for Verium and Vericoin. Verium is a great coin to CPU mine and lots of people are running interesting CPU rig projects: https://vericoinandverium.slack.com/

I'm by no means a pro hax0r but I like having projects to mess around with in my spare time. Lots of people out there are more knowledgeable than me but if you have any questions I can try to respond Tongue

Odroid XU4s are great SBCs to get started, but make sure to also have a look at the Odroid HC1 (which is essentially a stripped down XU4 with a big heatsink) that jacko, OP of this thread, is using. The main point of my mining rig was not to make a profitable machine, but to have fun building. I'll make a profit eventually, but custom machined front plate etc etc will give me a loooong ROI.
