The problem I see with this build is that IF mining becomes unprofitable, then it becomes a massive task to sell off the parts. I'm assuming the ordoids will be harder to sell than "normal" Intel chips.
I've sold 25 odroids in 3 days, those are easy to resell
What's good for CPU mining is RAM and cache. Most CPU friendly coins can't fullly load a desktop CPU due to memory
and cache limitations. Each Verium thread requires 1 GB. Any SBC with more RAM will do better, 8 cores is overkill.
Idle cores don't use much power but what they do use is wasted.
False. Atleast not on ARM architecture. Let me explain.
1 Thread use 128MB of ram. (this is called 1way mining)
If the miner and your processor is capable of some special instruction, you can use 3 way.
1 Thread --> splitted in 3 little worker using 128MB each.
On my I7, it uses 8 cores with (128MB x 3) x 8 -->3072MB
On ARM, you just use 1way and the trick is done:
8 Cores --> 8 Threads --> 1024MB of ram
600cores used just for mining???
am i the only one here thinks of using public equipment or misusing from not very own cores?
1 of my friends told sth like this way before mining got popular, after some time we noticed that he was using his university computers to mine which cost him losing education opportunity
hope you are doing this legally ans in this case wish u success.
also some recommendation, for such electricity consumption, u can really consider green energy solutions
There's no public equipment, I've buyed all those components on my own
