![]() ![]() The only other thing needed to get this setup working is to give the Pi all of the configuration information it needs such as wallet information and pool information. Typically a large number of these would be arrayed together to provide more chances at winning (or “earning”, to use the term generously) Bitcoin but there’s no reason other than extreme statistical improbability that a single one can’t work on its own. ![]() This tiny Raspberry Pi Zero does get a little bit of support from an Ant Miner, a USB peripheral which is optimized to run the SHA256 hashing algorithm and solve the complex mathematical operations needed to “win” the round of Bitcoin mining. And is putting this theory to the test with this Bitcoin miner built around a single Raspberry Pi. But just buying one lottery ticket is the only thing technically required to win, at least in theory. The idea being that the more computers, the more chances to win. Usually when we think of Bitcoin miners, we imagine huge facilities of server racks doing nothing but essentially wasting energy, all for the chance that one of those computers amongst the rows will stumble upon the correct set of numbers to get rewarded with imaginary money. ![]()
