\xhyc: time to have monero running on openwrt? openwrt/openwrt a96382c
-
\xcpu is A53 with aes
-
\x2GHz
-
\x7000 coremarks per core
-
hyconly 2GB RAM, will be a tight fit
-
hycwould need the dataset customization we talked about once before, using only 3/4 of expanded dataset, 1/4 unexpanded
-
hycor maybe 1/2 and 1/2, leave some RAM for other processing
-
hycoverall, still too slow for practical mining
-
hycI have 10 AMlogic S912 boxes here with only 2GB RAM each, was using them back in cryptonight days but not useful now with randomX
-
paulioukmy little android tv boxes (A55's 4gb memory) run stable at 100h/s, so half the price of a raspberry pi for the same hashrate
-
paulioukBlack Friday/Cyber Monday deals make me want to buy more - but they are... well... to be fair I'd be better off buying another mobo/mem/cpu in the deals and have a wall mounted setup
-
paulioukunless you get an AliBaba mass-bulk-buy deal discount on android boxes, then probably best to have a new PC at the end of it all than a few hundred android boxes
-
paulioukwonder if there's any trimmed down minimal function android phones that go cheap that can mine at around 500-800h/s
-
hycheat is still a problem for smartphones. can only mine at 50% utilization
-
hycbut yeah at one point I was gearing up to bulk order more android boxes
-
hycplug a bunch into a 49 port USB hub. even with that overhead, pretty good H/W efficiency
-
paulioukheats not too much of a problem if you can remove the case from the phone and stick it to something to draw the heat away, LED heatsinks are cheap enough, or even just sticking them to the side of a PC case with fans running keeps them cool enough
-
paulioukmy little boxes draw about 950mA each on full load, took them out of the cases and 3d printed a little rack for them
-
paulioukwas tempted at one point to build a mITX case up to run them all in a confined box with power and network soldered in. but time and effort put an end to that plan
-
hycyeah I was going to commission a USB-stick formfactor, strip all the unnecessary bits
-
hycwouldn't need video or network, just use cdc-ether over usb port
-
paulioukbe nice if that existed, could expand it whenever you had the money for more kit
