Hey!
Looking for some interesting coins to stake with RPI 3.
I'd like to hear you opinions.. (and if it's possible, please mention the % of stake reward)

Thanks!

(If it's not the place to ask, please refer me to the relevant sector)

I heard that PIVX wallet runs just fine on rPi for staking. You can also try Semux which is Java based and there's also an option to run it in cli mode.

Deeponion seems pretty good, you can also get 'airdrops' every week by holding coins AFAIK.

there are so many pos coins available right now that you can get some
install the wallet in your raspberry pi and start stalking
some personally fav coins of mine are
deeponion
shift
bitradio

Couldn't find semux on Coinmarketcap, they have launched their coin?

Any others?

Please clarify one thing. Is there really a need to have a 24/7 wallet online for the stake? Is not it enough to connect it 1x per week?

Right. Staking coins typically need you to have your wallet running, with your wallet unlocked and coins mature. That's how the PoS works. NEO on the other hand does not have to be open to accumulate GAS. You can open your NEON wallet once a month or whatever and claim it without falling behind.

I am staking Trezarcoin (TZC) on my rPi.

Here is also a guide how to stake Trezar on rPi

Thanks!
Any other ideas?

Is there a big difference staking on a raspberry pi as opposed to staking on a laptop that runs just a wallet and no other programs?

The main difference was you can run Raspberry Pi 24/7 without any worried. It will be different while you were running your laptop 24/7. Running your laptop 24/7 even just for doing PoS would risk your laptop.

From a technical side, both aren't giving much difference.

Oh ok, I mean I stake my coins on a shitty old HP laptop so I don't really care if it breaks down haha. But with the raspberry pi's being so cheap I ended up buying 2 of them anyway, at least I can learn some linux :D

try neblio

Aha... :D  :D
Don't forget to backup your wallet in the safe place, in case your "shitty old HP laptop" breaks down and you can access its storage devices.

Doing PoS needs to run devices that have low power consumption for reducing electricity cost, Raspberry Pi and some kind is a good option.  ;)

Oh I got a bunch of backups, on different laptops, on multiple usbs, and on external HD's :D I got it covered ahaha

wow, that's was good, also don't forget to print your privkey.  ;D

Currently staking Devcoin, Neblo, Obsidian (and its eventual ODIN fork), Stratis, and waiting patiently for the stake-able Omise go being promised

  ** since the BTC bull-run my girlfriend has been much more understanding of my growing piles of wires/switches and other "toys"...lol **

  - oh, in addition to backups (obviously) I recommend an uninteruptable power supply (UPS) for those RasPi's. The SD cards can be real tempermental about sudden power loss. Better safe than lost coins

*** No, not Devcoin ***  ::) ???

I meant Deviant Coin (DEV).
Also running Smartcash for Smartrewards, and building towards a smartnode.

Great picks. Didn't realize OMG was going to switch to POS, thats great new for me as a holder. Thanks!

Anyway, all of those coins you mentioned are running on one (1) piece of raspberry pi? Won't it eventually crash because of the CPU load? Any idea how many coins maximum you can stake on this raspberry pi while keeping it stable?

I stake UNIFY on raspberry PI and you get around 5 to 10% extra coins per year very good and very low coin total. Great investment in for future. UNIFY is also been around over 1 year now and never had ICO and is 100% decentralized.

I think the most of the people here will say that their Coin/Masternode is the best.
I would suggest you to check out this page: https://masternodes.pro/statistics

This looks promising - but I only have 8 RPI available right now. How can I calculate proffits - if I have ree aletricity?
