Has anyone here made $$$ with a mining rig ??
Hi Folks.
I ran across a book claiming that you could build a rig with an RPi 3 and a little mining board for under $99 to do this and I checked it out a bit. So 1st I wish to ask: Has anyone here done something like this and made $$$ beyond the costs of the rig and electricity ?? There were also ways to do it via Android - but those became obscure when the goog monster banned all the mining apps from its store. Back to the book=> It was more than a little innaccurate starting with the parts needed: - It claims the RPi is under $35, but a bare one is over $40; - It claimed the mining board could be had for under $30, but they are around $50 now; - It requires a 64GB microSD card, whatever that may cost; - It totally left out the need for a dedicated power supply which adds another $10 or more; - The mining board its info is for is no longer being sold, so it seems likely that some of the important info will not work as given; - There is no way to contact the author to ask for updated info. Thanks for any pointers about this !!
I totally despise board spammers and spambots !!!
