RE: Gridcoin Guide for Odroid (Performance & Profitability)
Wow, your energy is quite expensive, my energy is £0.122/kWh (about 14Eurocents, 17UScents), I think most users would find they would be in profit.
I run Raspberry Pis and you may have seen some of my guides if you look back far enough, I use Raspian-Lite, but DietPI is another good, lightweight distro thats easy to setup. I dont pool mine though, so I dont know about the uniqueness problem.
Yes, our electricity costs here are huge. That's why I calculated the price per kWh to be profitable (because most other countries are below that).
I tried to find a solution with solar in the past (running 24/7 and during winter as well), but that setup would have been way to big. Maybe I could try to find something to run it during daylight in summer or something :)
I have this crazy idea about a solar panel and a sensor that starts and stops a SBC when the power exceeds or drops below a specific level.
So if you have a 5v solar panel and your SBC needs 1Amp, you start the SBC at 1.1Amp and stop it at 1.01Amp, or something.
I'm not an electronics person, but I may get to it one day.
I have thought about that as well. But you would need something to measure the Amps as well. If you ever explore further, please let me know :)
