Hey all!

I stumbled on here after checking out the posts on Cloudhashing. So instead of giving a load of money to some stranger running a non-transparent 'money printing' company/operation; I thought I'd put together a little budget mining rig since I had a spare Raspberry Pi lying around.

I'm awaiting 6 ASIC miners running @ ~336MH/s in the post, and a 5V 6A PSU for the USB hub which will eventually arrive from China to keep them all nicely fed with juice (until then I'll be running 3-4 miners). A little USB fan should hopefully stop the miners from melting  Wink

The Pi will be set up using Minepeon.

So depending on how the miners perform and as the difficulty increases I may expand the rig to up the hashrate from the measly ~2GH/s

Wish me luck and hopefully the whole Bitcoin thing isn't just a fad...

Any tips and advice would be gracefully accepted!

Cheers!
