Can You Get Rich Using a Raspberry Pi to Mine Cryptocurrency?
The profit margin on crypto mining is all about the physics of computers and energy conversion.
These systems are usually set up so that it takes more computational power as more currency is mined, so the early coins are easily obtained and the later ones are more difficult. Yeah, this tiny setup is like digging for gold with a teaspoon, but it’s fine for studying the physics involved. To measure the thermal energy created, I put my Raspberry Pi in an insulated container with 1,000 milliliters of water.
