Anything about Riecoin mining goes here! A type of topic are threads about a CPU type. Only post your optimal parameters or show your machine in such topic and create a new one if there is no topic about your CPU, following the same scheme as the current ones. Otherwise you can also discuss about things like the profitability in general or other mining related subjects.
Different CPUs models should be discussed on the same topic if they are of the same architecture, have the same number of cores, and the same cache sizes, for example the 2700X and 3700X will have different topics, while the 3770K and the 3770 should be discussed on the same topic.
Do not talk about the mining software (suggestions, bug reports,...), go to the rieMiner's topic for this.
No technical support here as well, go to the Help subforum.

Raspberry pi 3b

Post by koiora »

Hello

I ve an old raspberry pi 3b that i was not using so i ve looked for a project that can be usefull.
And i ve discovered your project where i ve decides to mine:

Raspberry pi 3b config:
arm7 BCM2835
cpu 1.2g
ram 1G

Here is my configuration:
Threads = 4
PrimeTableLimit = 536870912
SieveWorkers = 1
SieveBits = 11
SieveIterations = 16

Logs:

Is anyone tried with Raspberry pi 3b ? Do you think the configuration is optimized? Or can it more accurated ?

Welcome!

There is probably an issue with the configuration as more than 270 years to find a 7-tuple at Difficulty 1024 is orders of magnitudes too high. For reference, it is about 10 days for the RasbBerry Pi 4 in these conditions.
With good settings, you should be able to reach about 20-30 days.

Unfortunately, I don't have the 3B to make tests myself to find optimal values.

I don't have a 3B either, but my 4b does best at sieve bits = 22. My results are:
....
[13:48:05.2] 1501.17 c/s, r 17.09 ; Sh: 12/12 (100.0%) | 3.8 RIC/d
[13:48:08.6] 5-share found by worker thread 2
[13:48:35.2] 1472.08 c/s, r 17.07 ; Sh: 13/13 (100.0%) | 3.8 RIC/d
...

I think you should be getting about half this performance with a 3b.
If you aren't running 64 bit OS, you need to upgrade. Try increasing the sieve bit value.

My .conf file:

Threads = 0
PrimeTableLimit = 536870912
SieveWorkers = 1
SieveIterations = 0
SieveBits = 22

Good luck!
