Title: Can you solo mine & pool mine on a single Raspberry Pi?
Post by: jeyzeus on May 12, 2021, 09:56:38 PM
I'm building 2 USB Mining rigs for fun. One of them is going to be used as a "lotto" rig (just a couple of block erupters pointed at ckpool), the other is going to be a couple of Overclocked newpacs mining regularly. Trying to get 1TH out of it for a super low power & silent mining rig.

I was going to buy another Raspberry Pi & run em separately but before I did that I figured I should ask if there was a way to do this with just 1 Raspberry Pi.

Thanks!

cgminer has many options explained in the README that would give you the answer I'm providing if you were to read it ...

If you configure more than one pool, you can tell cgminer to mine to both at the same time or even specify the % for each of the pools.

To allow equal mining to all pools, the basic option is "load-balance" instead of "failover"

Interesting project. You want to have a bench of RPI4 mining SHA256 with cgminer if I've well understood ?

Keep us informed please

Have a nice day
