Is there an ARM CPU LiteCoin mining program this PC for $25 - http://www.raspberrypi.org/ |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

The current version of cpuminer should build and run fine on ARM, although it will use a C implementation. By the way, you need the $35 version if you want an ethernet controller. The topic has also been discussed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53756.msg641323#msg641323 |

Thanks. I think it deserves its own thread.

Do you think it will be easy to set up for LTC mining? |

Well i dont know how much kms you could possibly get out of it , im think .5 AT MOST , but since it runs linux it should be relatively easy to mine though http://www.arm.com/community/software-enablement/linux.php arm is supported which is a key thing, just a matter of time until a dev gets their hands on it , but that may take awhile since they sell out fast |

4KH/s for LTC at minimal electric costs  |

I don't know much about the PSU of the RaspberryPi apart from it's 5v I think. So I reckon it would use less than 25W while mining?

The announcement for Raspberry Pi's has been made, and the waiting lists for orders are open.

Kool can't wait for the hash-rate to be announced if it's worth it I'll get a 'farm' of them to go with my ASIC/FPGA farm I'm building  At the least I could use one of these low power RaspberryPi to run the boards  |

Interested in seeing the hash rate of this thing, thinking of buying one eventually may as well put it to good use.

I'm guessing it does around 15-25Mhash/s. =3 (Bitcoin mining)

I have a PI coming as well but mines going to be used more as a media receiver.

I bet nothing that it'll be less than 1khash/secs.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparisonModel Mhash/s Mhash/J Mhash/s/$ ACP [W] Clock Version Comment ARM 0.187 ? ? ? 1200 MHz cpuminer Seagate Dockstar ArchLinux And that's on BTC I think which would have a lot lower mining efficiency compared to LTC. |
