Hope you don't mind if I post some of my findings here....
My goal is to learn how to turn my RasPi 2 into a miner...
In order to mine Bitcoin I found this list is needed:
* A pool account
* Bitcoin Wallet
* Raspberry Pi
* Raspbian image SD card
* USB Bitcoin miner
All seem to state you need all of these files installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libssl-dev libboost-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqrencode-dev
Hope that is the complete list of prerqu's...
Then each one say you need this databse
Installing BerkeleyDB 4.8
wget download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix/
(This part is going to take a while)
../dist/configure –enable-cxx
make
sudo make install
!! If you are running a RaspberryPi2, replace the make command with make -j4 to use those extra cores !!
That is where I am so far... The databse installed perfectly... Now trying to get the bitcoin-master.zip to install from
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoinIf I am doing anything wrong and need to be corrected - this is my first run through so please feel free to give advice. THANKS
