Mining TurtleCoin with an SBC

This guide will get you started mining TurtleCoin on a Raspberry Pi or similar SBC. If you found it to be useful, you can tip me at this address:

TRTLv23Fa8TfDErxVHjSnQXc8dwAHBuvGcy21DcC7DAFGMxvYy8PTajXqcjDxosuRd1GJCd5GbYCnhQCBJbE7ur4LMnf75t3v2Y

Setup

Make sure you've already installed TurtleCoin and created a wallet on your PC. You'll need the wallet address to store any coins you mine. Follow the guide here: https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin/wiki/Getting-Started-w--TurtleCoin-on-Windows

For the SBC, download the latest non-desktop version of Raspbian (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads). Follow their installation guide on how to write the OS image onto the MicroSD card. Once you've plugged in the SD Card, booted the raspberry pi, and connected it to the internet, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

This may take a few minutes. Next, we'll have to install some required tools to compile and run the miner. Enter this command:

apt-get install automake autoconf pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev libssl-dev libgmp-dev make g++

Install the Miner

Next, we need to obtain a CPU miner. Use cpuminer-multi:

git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi

Let's now move to that directory and install the miner:

cd cpuminer-multi
./configure --disable-assembly CFLAGS="-Ofast -march=native" --with-crypto --with-curl
sudo make install

Configure and Run the Miner

Finally, we can run the miner with the following parameters:

cpuminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp:[YOUR POOL HERE] -u [YOUR WALLET ADDRESS HERE] -p x

You'll need to select a pool to participate in for the first -o parameter. Pick one that is closest to your location. Make sure to include the port number as well. Here is the current list:

z-pool.com:3333 (EU North)

hk.turtlepool.space:3333 (Hong Kong)

pool.turtleco.in:3333 (USA West Coast)

auspool.turtleco.in:3333 (AUS)

eu.turtlepool.space:3333 (UK)

us.turtlepool.space:3333 (USA South)

ny.minetrtl.us:3333 (USA NYC)

slowandsteady.fun:3333

trtl.mine2gether.com:3335

turtle.atpool.party:3333 (France)

trtlpool.ninja:5555 (Las Vegas, NV - USA West)

For the -u parameter, simply paste your TurtleCoin wallet's address.

After entering this command, the miner will start scanning your hardware and begin to mine. Happy mining!
