Hello,
would it be possible to release an arm version for Rasperry Pi 3 and 4 or even the new Macs?
Perhaps it doesn't make sense in terms of revenue but would be a good starting point for newbies and for education purposes.
I could also image that an Cluster of Pis could perhaps do a good mining job.
I suspect that the porting effort will be limited since it was written in golang.
Thank you!

Our experiments with Raspberry Pi show it doesn't worth it, hashrates are too low.

We will support powerful ARM-based systems and ARM-based GPU rigs once they will be widely available.

Hum, alright what do I do with my 10.000 Raspberry Pi's now? If I could cross compile it myself it would already help.

I too would use this on my Pi 4B. I'm sure many others would as well. Doesn't matter how little of amount is mined; once the user sees their wallet balances gradually increase with the Pi, that would likely be enough to enter the hardware race for better, faster, stronger.

@Grumpy-Dwarf are you up to re-open or re-evaluate this feature request? As raspberry pi 4 with 8gb are now available again, and macbooks are having ARM-based CPUs for some device generations now, this might be a good thing to add. Maybe just to mine XMR with it using the CPU.
