All you do is stick it in a socket in your wall and install bitcoin. Suposedly it uses 1 to 2 W only and the CPU has a cryptographic acceleration: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=197.0 Sounds very interesting for bitcoin. EDIT: The 1 W propaganda of the webpage is just that, propaganda (as spected). In real life test it uses 4W when iddle and 11W when CPU at 100% with USB and network being used. Still its very very good. |
