How to mine Duino Coin on a Raspberry Pi

Got some Raspberry Pi’s laying around? Interested in mining cryptocurrency?

Duino Coin is your best bet at that. Here are instructions on how to mine Duino Coin on your Raspberry Pi. It can be a Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi 4, you can even do this on Arduino though the instructions are a bit different.

Let’s begin.

First, power up your Raspberry Pi — ssh in or hook it up to a display and keyboard.

While it loads, you’ll need to go to https://wallet.duinocoin.com/register and sign up for an account. Take note of your username and password, you’ll need them in a bit.

Next, run these commands provided in the official docs:

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip git # Install python3 and git
git clone https://github.com/revoxhere/duino-coin # Clone duino-coin repo
cd duino-coin
python3 PC_Miner.py # Launch the official miner - you will be prompted for your username and password that you created earlier

Voila, you have started mining.

To see your balance you can use the Wallet at https://wallet.duinocoin.com or the CLI. The CLI method of viewing your wallet is located in the duino-coin folder. To view your wallet info (Duco balance), run the following command:

python3 CLI_Wallet.py

The Wallet will show you your average daily payout and list all your miners and their hash rates.

Will you be a millionaire from Duino Coin? Probably not, but it’s hella fun seeing your otherwise unused Raspberry Pi mining away some crypto.
