sorry if this is a double post but Im thinking about replacing my current 2 raspberry pies with something a little faster ( more ram or more proc ). I noticed the Banana Pi has double the proc and a gig of ddr3 memory and is capatable with Raspbian. Just curious if you could ultimately use this as a miner and get more miners connected to this with out freezing up? or your thoughts on other host Pi like computers

I have my miners running on a couple of different micro type systems.

The Udoo mini computer (was a kickstarter project) works great.  I bought both models, they are both fast and stable with a linux distro running cgminer.  They will also run android if you want to do something with them after they are done mining.

I also have a Cubox-i running linux for a set of miners.  This one cost a little more, but is a nice unit that runs quite and can handle being an xbmc box while running some miner software in the background.  Solid-run just announced a cheaper product that will be more like a pi called a hummingboard.  I think they might be taking preorders for them, but the cubox-i is out now and works well.

Good luck.
