-I have started this project as a fun thing, not to make money as such, but to use the Pine64, and spare RPi's lying around, to see if its viable.
NB!!: Remember to cool that CPU of the SBC, as it will run superhot!!

1. Setup
From Novaspirit:
https://www.novaspirit.com/2017/10/19/crypto-mining-sbc/
I'm currently running this version successfully on the Debian Jessie Mate 8 image from the Pine64 forum.
Also had it running on my original RPi B, although very slow hashing rate.
Take careful note with the libdevssl-dev library conflicts, as I've discovered, its to do with the different dependencies not working together.

Magi coin -local wallet software: -use only this version, otherwise your wallet will not sync to the pool you are mining from.
http://m-core.org/download/
This takes at least a day or two to sync, before capturing your mining results. Also, encrypt your wallet and backup all access codes between different access sites.
