What is Bitcoin Mining?
With Bitcoin, miners use special software to solve math problems and are issued a certain number of bitcoins in exchange. This provides a smart way to issue the currency and also creates an incentive for more people to mine.
Why is Monero Coin ( XMR ) ?
Unlike many cryptocurrencies that are derivatives of Bitcoin, Monero is based on the CryptoNote protocol and possesses significant algorithmic differences relating to blockchain obfuscation.
By providing a high level of privacy, Monero is fungible, meaning that every unit of the currency can be substituted by another unit. These units are indistinguishable from one another. This makes Monero different from public-ledger cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, where addresses previously associated with undesired activity can be blacklisted and refused by network members.
Can the NVIDIA Jetson Nano be used for Bitcoin mining?
It can, just not efficiently.
Then for education purpose.
How many it can? only 16.xx H/s
if you have 1600 H/s you will get 0.00002 BTC/week.
Power Consumption of NVIDIA Jetson Nano
use jtop command line
