Not sure if this had been asked here before.
wanna do mining but what i want to us is the raspberry so i can save electricity cost. Can we attach GPUs to Raspberry PI to mine ETH using Claymore's?

i did a search a while back it is possible if you want to spend a lot on external pcie slots they do cost a lot atm  for pi's , i wanted to know my self so i went looking some have done it but the cost may not be worth it unless you have the know how , tools and time to do it . i think i found some external pcei express stuff that might work but at 500 to a 1000 dollars a pop not worth it. if i had saved the link i would post it for you  but i didn't after i saw the cost.


it had some thing to do with arduino Smiley.

here is something on it  someone has all ready looked in to on the forums , what i found cost more and was able to be used on a pi type .!!! . im not gonna brother right now i have to rebuild my farm slow .so for me it's cheaper to build it with mother boards etc but it would be nice to use PI's it's cheaper and might even work better .

Even if you somehow miraculously got the RPI to recognize your GPU, there would be no driver for it as well as the Claymore miner is closed source so you can not recompile it for ARM, not to mention myriad of other problems.
