Sounds interesting, could you post pics?

[segabtc]

heheh use one of these to monitor the farm!

Hmm, I like it. How does this compare to the Raspberry Pi technically speaking? Performance : Performance.

You should name then NakamotoNanos, Are you making these or something? Can I suggest (older monitor) outputs?

[mb300sd]

I'm interested, but only if it runs android smoothly.

[underminer]

I'll be interested in these devices as soon as they can run a semi-modern ubuntu kernel like 8.04.  From what I understand that is still a ways off though.

[Bitbird]

Thanks for the question! Will post a FAQ soon.

FAQ:

Q1: Are you making these or something?

I'm a reseller at present. (Toward the goal to launch our own brand in the future of course.)


Q2: Why should I order these board from you?

I accept Bitcoin. And I'm willing to risk my own money to order them for resell.


Q3: What products you're provide by now?

Cubieboard and A13-OLinuXino.

Q4: Will the price be cheaper if buck order?

Yes! For the group buying A13-OLinuXino, if the total orders >10 for the first batch, every unit will be cheaper. And this will also applies to the person orders. You can wait until the total orders >10 for cheaper price, or I can conduct your orders immediate by the normal price without any delay.

Q5: What's the daily price calculation way you're used for now?

mtgoxUSD 24h Avg. You can check here:

Q6: Could you post pics?

Q7: How does this compare to the Raspberry Pi technically speaking?

The main difference is the faster CPU(1Ghz). You can also check this page for the specifications of Raspberry Pi:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_pi#Specifications


Q8: Can I suggest (older monitor) outputs?

It can be done by order A13-OLinuXino which cost almost the same to slightly higher (dependent on the number of orders) compared with Cubieboard.


Q9: Estimated shipping time?

May vary in accordance with the manufacturer for each model/product belongs. I'll check for you with your expected order requirements.


Q10: I feel less confidence in shopping in a place other than an independent website?

A decent website may be planned and set-up. But keep things simple in the beginning is indeed the current status quo.
