Is it worth making an array of 5 or so Raspberry Pi's and using them to mine Ethereum?
So far I can see that it is possible, but I would have to buy the latest versions with USB 3.0, plus at least one shared USB 3 SSD, on top of a switch for running ethernet to each Pi... The costs are stacking, is it worth?
Looking for low power usage as my house is old as shit and I don't trust the wiring.
Any anons here have experience with micro mining?

Probably not very expensive but would take forever to break even

to answer your question: no. I'm 99% confident that would be a waste of your time and money

Mining PoW coins with raspberry Pi is the most retarded idea I have ever heard.
The days of having your $500 laptop mining have been over for years. It's an industrial level endeavor now.
You could run some nodes non Raspberry Pis for some PoS token, still.

Better to deploy a covert cluster of pis somewhere else.

Pi's are fun, no profit in morning but what they'll teach you is gold.

And you'll learn alot about basics in parallel computing.

I say do it op, best $100-300 you'll spend, considering most people here buy high and sell low.
