RE: Cooling and Monitoring Overclocked Pi 3 via GPIO & LEDs (Beginner, Low Budget)

I studied every possible way where one could mine by employing regular consumer devices. There is no such thing. Even expensive, dedicated GPU-based rigs are struggling to break even within a year.

Even the Steem witness node system needs a multi-core CPU, 8GB RAM, a solid state hard disk and a high-speed connection which never goes down. And then another machine of similar spec because you have to run both a witness and a seed node.

There is no cheap or easy way to produce cryptocurrency, alas.

OK, thank you that is good to know. Have you been trying with some speculation mining. I.e superiorcoin. It’s a pretty low value coin today. I see some posting here that it’s easy to mine at a low value. But if the value goes up it would be profitable?

One week into all of this. Crypto/blockchain noob. Came here to write - away from the stupid FB/Google controlled web. Now I'm fascinated, but it's quite a bit to absorb and really understand.
