    Setting up a Raspberry Pi as a Bitcoin miner in 2017 requires a Raspberry Pi, a power supply, an SD card, and a USB hub. First, install an operating system like Raspbian on the SD card. Then, download and install a Bitcoin mining software like CGMiner or BFGMiner. Connect your Raspberry Pi to the internet and join a mining pool. Configure your mining software with the pool's details and start mining. However, keep in mind that mining Bitcoin with a Raspberry Pi is not profitable due to the low hash rate of the device. You may earn a few cents worth of Bitcoin, but the electricity costs may outweigh the earnings. It's more of a learning experience than a way to make money.
