Title: Raspberry Pi, no longer 'pi in the sky'
Post by: SysRun on February 29, 2012, 03:31:38 PM
Availability was announce last night (or this morning depending on time zone) that Raspberry Pis would be available to ship soon. Anyone looking for a possible 7 watt controller for FPGAs or whatever the BFL Single is, this could be your answer.

http://www.raspberrypi.com/ is down for maintenance, but you can go to these two other sites and sign up for availability notifications.

All the info is @ raspberrypi.org

Tips welcome...  ;)

Awesome. Could be a perfect mining host. If anyone has one of these and a BFL I'd be very interested in hearing whether the BitMinter miner will run on it. It should in theory run on ARM systems (untested though). See recent beta announcement (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=31163.msg758061#msg758061) for the miner.

Does anybody know which software consumes the least resources? I do know that the new builds of MPBM are getting a lot better.
