Source. As unlikely as it sounds, the Adafruit learning blog (via the Hackaday blog) has just shown off a Raspberry Pi based bitcoin miner. For those who haven't heard of the Raspberry Pi, it's a small computer on a single circuit board that was designed to be inexpensive enough to help children learn about computer science. Inevitably, hobbyists have taken the Pi to their hearts and put these tiny computers to all sorts of uses, now including mining bitcoins. While this isn't the first Pi to be used in connection with bitcoin mining, it's a good illustration of how a Pi can be put to use....

The great Bitcoin block reward halving is finally upon us. In a few more hours, block rewards for miners will be reduced by 50 percent, with as-yet-unknown consequences for the Bitcoin industry. Around the world, Bitcoiners are watching countdown clocks and block explorers in anticipation. Which mining pool mined the last 25 BTC block, and who mined the....
For less than the cost of a Trezor Bitcoin Wallet, you can run a full Raspberry Pi Bitcoin node and help support the Bitcoin network. All you need is a Raspberry Pi model B or B+, a 32GB SD card and an Internet connection. Total cost: about $50. The Raspberry Pi isn't like your desktop/laptop that most likely run on Intel or Apple hardware architecture. Raspberry Pis run on ARMs - an embedded architecture used by almost every smartphone. Just like a smartphone, the Raspberry Pi cannot use a desktop or laptop operating system. Luckily, many ARMs versions of Linux exist that work very well....
