it would take me 3,762 years to reach the minimum withdrawal threshold

So in 38 centuries, you'll gross $5. The net's far worse, because I don't see anything on the description of that solar panel that indicates it will supply the Pi off solar power. In fact, given the manufacturer's refusal to place a wattage or time-to-charge under solar on the product description, I'd call the solar feature just a gimmick -- it's a plug in battery with a lamp on it.
 
You don't need to become root to download and compile cpuminer so
Bash: 
sudo git clone https://github.com/carolinedunn/cpuminer-multi
should be
Bash: 
sudo git clone https://github.com/carolinedunn/cpuminer-multi
and
Bash: 
sudo ./build.sh
shoud be
Bash: 
./build.sh

Otherwise, nice post!

A few questions:

You mention the ARM CPU as a limiting factor. Would it work better with a cheap x86 unit like the Atomic Pi?

The last time I checked, World Community Grid had a client for ARM but no actual jobs to process. Has that changed?

Have you tried the xmrig miner?

Is there any real use for Monero? No one seems to want it.

If you want to go deeper down this rabbit hole I'd recommend investigating mining uPlexa instead of Monero on smaller devices like the Raspberry PI. More information here: https://www.uplexa.com/. While Monero has wider adoption, uPlexa is growing... you can exchange uPlexa for Ethereum on Stex and Bitcoin on Graviex.

Because it's designed for IoT you won't run into issues with Bad or Invalid shares mining uPlexa on your Raspberry PI. There are pools like upxpool.com that offer ports with very low difficulty that are also perfect for older Android phones (you can mine using their dedicated Android app or run Ubuntu in Termux), Raspberry PI, etc.

After overclocking my RPI4 and installing Raspberry OS 64 bit... I've been running xmrigCC for months and get a solid 1.1 kH/s hashrate. While that still will only net you about 19 cents a month at current values that's a significant improvement over Monero. And in 6 months uPlexa's exchange value has fluctuated significantly. That 19 cents was worth closer to 50 cents over the summer.

More importantly... there's a ton of development happening with uPlexa. They will be launching a new update shortly called Steadfast Storm which includes a dVPN on the uPlexa network. Mining powers the network. And a few days worth of mining on your RPI should be more than enough to cover access.

xmrigCC mining uPlexa on my Raspberry PI 4:

I have now installed it on my RP3, but apart from the first 4 hours it doesn't work anymore and only stratum_recv_line timed out comes out
... retry after 10 seconds
, I have even released port 45700 TCP
 
Guys... I cannot get it to work at all
I get only
stratum_recv_line timed out
...retry after 10 seconds
from begging to end.

Any ideas on why this might happen?
Do I need any incoming ports open on my PI?

Thank you

PS: I am just looking for the same satisfaction Caroline was talking about... just get those yes'es :)

You don't need to choose between mining and helping cure COVID-19. You can do both with Gridcoin and World Community Grid.

Gridcoin? World Community Grid? How come I've never heard of these stuff before?

I've got an overabundance of unused electronic devices lying around my home. I mean, I guess I'll just put them all into use then, I guess...

It's as good as it is now. Now this version on RaspberryPI no longer works. It blocks your email address on port 45700!
 
”Now this version on RaspberryPI3....4 no longer works. It blocks your email address on port 45700!”

I received a message that I was using a fake bookstore. I mined for 90 minutes in two days. Now port 45700 is closed for the corresponding email address. What to do? An uptate Admin ?
 
How did you calculate the 3,762 Years? Not that it will make you richer but for the sake of respect to math.

If you do 0.000001410642 Monero per 8 hours. That means that you make 0.000004231926 (per day) [8hr x 3 = 1 day (24 hrs)]. So if your minimum to withdraw is 0.05 morenos. 0.05/0.000004231926 = 11815 days. 11815/365 days = ~32 years.
