I am wondering if I can use few Raspberry Pi's in a stack in order to mine crypto currencies.
It seems there are two types of currencies:
Ones for which a CPU is powerful enough for mining (few, very few of them) and
Ones that need GPU power
I want to mine the second type, because they are m...
In the interest of making the chat room a more popular place to talk, we're going to start having a topic of the week as suggested in another meta question. While other topics will still be discussed, topic of the week will serve as sort of an ice breaker.
What should our first topic be for nex...
@SteveRobillard There wasn't any decision on times. Basically just whenever you feel like it/have a time you'll know you can be available make an event. All the mods aren't required to be here, just whoever made the event
Ultimately the decision is made by the Stack Exchange community team, though here's a little information. It can, theoretically stay in beta indefinitely if there is not enough growth to promote it, but not enough 'petering out' to close it. Essentially, growth is what determines whether a site...
@SteveRobillard There's a good chance we will. I'm not super concerned with every single office hours being brimming with people, just recent stuff made me realize it may be a good idea to have some times when people know we will be here.
@StackExchange Just a note in case anyone shows up here late tonight--I was 12 hours off when I set the time. Office hours are tomorrow during the day.
Oh, and (hopefully) finally, I want to note that closing a question for being a duplicate is not a reprimand. In fact, it's a useful feature that is meant to point both you and future users to the previous question.
Sometimes you may not get the answer you're looking for. We're looking to be a useful site to current and future users. If the best answer to "Is there any use to water cool a raspberry pi" is "No, temperature is not a limiting factor" and it's been covered in "Is it possible to immersively cool a device," then the question is essentially a duplicate.
The answer to your question may not always be the one you wanted, but that doesn’t mean it is wrong. A conclusive answer isn’t always possible. When in doubt, ask people to cite their sources, or to explain how/where they learned something. Even if we don’t agree with you, or tell you exactly what you wanted to hear, remember: we’re just trying to help."
Essentially, the way we viewed your question is it's already been answered. Essentially, the answer is "There's no point to water cooling a Raspberry Pi." The temperature is not a limiting factor, so cooling is not important if you'd like to overclock. How to overclock a device is covered in other questions, though it's also not what you seemed to be asking.
With reference to recent questions about overclocking (ie. What are the overclocking capabilities? ), is it possible to immersively cool the Raspi?
Presumably such a system would have to rely on finding a coolant that is non-toxic, non-conducting, and cheap.
There's also the physics of boiling...
