Title: Skycoin Mining?
Post by: adamantasaurus on June 02, 2019, 06:53:35 AM
Hey Guys,

I seen the skyminer for sale on the skycoin website and see all it is, is a bunch of rasberry pi's (orange pi's) stacked in a neat looking box. So I have 2 rasberry pi's sitting around in my house doing nothing for me, question is can I use these 2 rasp pi's to mine skycoin and if yes can someone point me to a good tutorial on how to set them up?

Thanks

Seems like you could use the "Manager" image on one, and the "Node1" image on your second Pi.

Also one more question I see 6 orange pi's for sale can I grab those and use all 8 of them (2 rasp pi's) to mine skycoin?

It's a nice find.
Can you please update or create a new post after you have completed your assembly process of the miner?
Some pictures and information for the same will be highly appreciated.
BTW, What price are you paying for one orange pi? The best deal I can find is $39.99 for one with shipping.

You can do this. I checked the requirements for DIY Miner and it said in one of the points that you can mix different boards but you'll have to mention it in the whitelist application form for the same.
