Is it still possible to mine #Monero with a raspberry Pi? I am curious because I stumbled on a video on it and I might make a mini miner that drips some XMR to me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, buuuuut you'd be mining dust. 🤷🏾♂️
I don't mind, I want to build them so I can learn the basics of mining and where I can improve on. I also want to see if I can build a Node miner.
Go for it 🫡
So since its dust amount, would I be stuck not being able to move them?
I'm used to Bitcoins dust limit on its main layer and I'm learning more about XMR.
Get gupaxx

Can I run it on Raspberry Pis?
Yeah can move it, as long as you can afford network fees, which usually aren't much. My pi 4 is setup with randomx. It's probably doing about 250h, or so. Until I saw your post, I had forgotten that it was in my server rack. 😂
So around how much dust are you able to mine with a Pi? I want to see if its worth calling my Pi miner the dust pan. 😂
In the last 24hrs, at 277h, I've made 0.00002342 xmr 😁
Oh! That's way more than I expected, I definitely will start building a Pi then. 😂 I will call it the Dust Pan and their purpose is to gather XMR dust.
If you're interested in joining a pool. I suggest https://pool.aterx.com they focus on low hashrate Monero mining. It's a small pool, but they've pretty cool, and helpful, peeps in their discord.
Or you can use unmineable.com
I thinking of setting up a money pi farm. I have a bunch of PI4s, and plan on my PI5s projects. Might be able to mine; in xmr; as I would; in sats; if I were to buy a bitaxe. 🤔🤔
Maybe if you boot up into Linux and run it. But the hash would be so low.
Oh its okay if its low. I am trying to learn how to mine with something small before I try to move to a more specialized set up.
