Title: Can I use Raspberry Pi with Rockminer T1? Post by: chikon on July 28, 2015, 03:36:45 AM Hey all. I'm getting back into mining and havent been up to date with any hardware in a while. When I mined Asic Blades were 500$ mining at 10gh/s :D :D. Now hardware is a lot cheaper for faster equipment, clearly due to the difficulty. I have no knowledge on the new hardware since I've been out of it for a while.
I bought a Rockminer T1 for pretty cheap. It doesnt come with the ethernet controller. I am planning to run 2 Antminer S3 with raspberry pi so I'm wondering if I can do the same with the Rockminer. Im planning on getting more Rockminers eventually because of their server like chassis but I dont want to get the ethernet controller until then. Am I able to use the Raspberry Pi or a PC? Thanks for any and all help! Title: Re: Can I use Raspberry Pi with Rockminer T1? Post by: chikon on July 29, 2015, 03:30:54 AM anyone?

Post by: alh on July 30, 2015, 03:48:23 AM I know zero about the T1, but I am 99% sure that the Anminer S3 doesn't require, nor can it use, a Raspberry Pi. The Antminer S3 is a completely standalone miner. It does need a power supply, but not a computer to tun the mining software.
