And to power all those Block Erupters you need to get a good quality powered USB hub. So, what I have is I have six of them so these will give me over 2 gigahashes of mining power. Now this specific one mines at a rate of 335 megahashes per second. It could be powered by USB so you could plug a bunch of these into a USB port. Now this is basically just a chip that has one job and that is to mine for Bitcoins. This is called an ASIC miner or a Block Erupter. Okay, so this is the actual hardware that mines for Bitcoins. All the parts that I list next will be the actual mining hardware that will mine for Bitcoins. Now this computer will run the mining software. So, all the parts that I just listed basically creates a separate computer. And to power your Raspberry Pi you will need a micro USB to USB cable. The thing that you want to focus on is getting a class 10 SD class.

Now I have an 8 gigabyte just because it was on sale and easier to find at the time. Now you want to get a 4 gigabyte minimum on this card. Now this SD card basically acts as the hard drive for your Raspberry Pi. Now this is an optional item but I highly recommend it because it will protect your Raspberry Pi in case anything falls on top of it. The next item on the list is just a plastic case for your Raspberry Pi. This entire computer can be powered by USB cable. Now, due to its size it’s very efficient on power consumption.

Now, when you’re picking up one of these you want to make sure that you get the version B. Now, the nice thing about having one of these is that this is a completely separate unit from your personal computer, which means you can mine for Bitcoins 24x7 without affecting your daily computer usage. Now, this is basically just a credit card sized computer. Now, the first item that you want to pick up is called a Raspberry Pi.

I will place some links to all the parts down below so that you can get started on your project. So, here’s all the pieces that you need to start building your own Bitcoin miner. So, give that a watch, get caught up, come back and we’ll get started. So, if you’re unfamiliar with Bitcoin I do have another video that has all the 10 things that you need to know about Bitcoin. What’s going on every one? This is Fred and today we’re going to build a Bitcoin miner.
