Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Looks like a nice piece of gear.
I have the one before the B got it from crazy guy to run Minera.

One of the downfalls with multiple models of Pi is they lose their 'one hardware one software' advantage. Adoption of the B+ has been slow as people realised that they couldn't have unified firmware over the models. The same will happen here.

I think this is an amazing new addition to the Raspberry family, especially because of the extra RAM. I've had situations where RAM memory was simply maxed out... And yes, this will probably be the new miners king. You can attach enough miners to it, it still runs on low power, more powerful than previous generations, you can even run a Bitcoin or several altcoin nodes in it... Just amazing  And these guys from the Raspberry Foundation probably just found another cash cow, haha |

The biggest plus from my perspective is that the usb and ethernet data now have separate data channels as it appears with the adoption of the cortex-a7 it added a enet controller (this should lead to better usb throughout and better stability for hardware connections And from my understanding the gpio header is the same pinout as b+ etc so I'll be grabbing two( one to play around with, the other to upgrade my bitfury 450G rig |

Higher CPU power, more RAM, more compatibility (even Windows 10 !) and thats still for 35$. What I miss the most is some high speed comunication on GPIO. Like quad SPI @ 25MHz, that would allow to communicate with many, many, many TH miners and put those 4 cores to useful work  EDIT: LOL, 3 hours ago there was over 700pcs in stock @ Farnell. Now it's 0! |

I have used the older model to run 3.5Th and the CPU had some headroom, I would assume these new ones really open things up..

Pis are great for smaller units but they can be maxed out on larger units with many more chips. And by maxed out I mean have a narrower working difficulty range. |

where i can order it now ? maybe you will find it here. ....
I wonder how can it help in Bitcoin mining anyway ? Am I missing something ?
RPi is very popular in mining space. It serves as low power computer (<5W) to run mining software and control miners. |
