From what I can tell you would need at least 6000 coins to stake a few times a month and something like 50000 to 60000 coins to stake every day. It seems that if you have at least 6000 coins then it would probably be worth it to stake them on a low power device like the atomic pi. It would be nice to hear from others with 5000+ coins and if they are getting any stakes monthly with that amount.

I stake only in hope, the coin will be 10x when I sell them in the future.
If not, not much is lost...

(I'm in crypto since 2013... )

happy birthday veruscoin!

Miners are known to be used in malware to make use of other peoples resources to earn money.
As a result many virus-scanners report false positives, because they do not scan for malware, but payload (the miner) that is often distributed by malware.

Submit the executable to https://virustotal.com and you'll see that 11 engines make a positive detection, most of which catogorizing it as a Coinminer or as not-a-virus

If it weren't a mining program I would be worried, but in this case it is your virusscanner overreacting.

Sounds like the atomic pi will be perfect since its an intel atom x5-Z8350 with 2gb ram and 16gb flash on board. Will probably have to move the chain over to a usb drive in the future as it grows

The chain takes a bit over 7GB drivespace at the moment, so that would be to move the chain to a USB drive.

For people that are not proficient on the CLI, Verus-Desktop also runs on ARMx64, so a GUI Ubuntu is also an option:

This picture was actually used to show the zcash capabilities, but the running native chains are clearly visible.
