CPUMINER FOR RASPBERRY PI

A recent subscriber on my youtube channel requested to compile a version of cpuminer for Raspberry Pi to mine bitcoin / altcoins. Knowing that it’s not really worth the cpu cycles, I decided to compile a version for anyway. I have also wrote a quick tutorial explaining how to compile your own in case you want to.

EQUIPMENT LIST
