Cryptocurrency mining no longer needs to be dominated by giant ASIC rigs and massive power bills. My setup uses four Raspberry Pi miners running Yescrypt CPU mining, combined with several NMMiners (USB SHA-256 miners) on Zpool, all auto-converting rewards into Ravencoin (RVN). This system is built for: Low cost Low power High uptime Slow and steady RVN accumulation Below is the full breakdown. 1\.

NMMiners (USB SHA-256 Miners) Hashrate per unit: 300–350 KH/s Power usage: ~5–7 watts each Pool: Zpool Output: RVN via auto-convert Combined, they add nearly 1 MH/s of SHA-256 hashing
