I have started to dabble into the mining side of cryptocurrency but have found that it can get a little pricey to purchase all the required equipment to get up and running.. outside of just cpu mining on my laptops. That price problem has changed however.
I came across Duino-Coin, a cryptocurrency coin that requires low power and is specifically designed to work on an Arduino Uno.
Now you will not get rich but this is a fun and exciting way to get into cryptocurrency mining.
