This is a very good device, with small size and. I would buy this thing, if I have the money. And after reading the FAQ, I found that this thing could mine Bitcoins... :o

PsychoticBoy has been selling exactly the same thing for a while now:  Easy, Plug & Play Bitcoin Nodes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1005654.0).

This concept is better because you wont wear out the SD since you'll store the bitcoin blockchain in a USB; anyways, awesome project, thanks for sharing.

Still seems fairly overpriced if you ask me, but maybe that's just a wrong impression :)

Looks like a neat little device, wonder how much it will retail for when they officially launch it for consumers.

You could leave a raspberry pi running for all eternity and it will never 'hash together' a single bitcoin.  Really doesn't make sense burning out your pi trying to submit a single share or two/day

Very cool project insofar as helping to distribute the bitcoin network even further though.  I'm kind of curious as to what their roadmap will be for supporting 20MB/block change if/when it ever comes into being.

You could run this setup with a 2TB USB External Hard Drive, the problem won't be block size but RAM to process UTXO (unconfirmed transactions)

Still I use a pi to run a few terahashes of mining equipment. It works well. The CPU doesn't hash but managers the miners fine.
