The pi is good for a way to use for mining if you are using on larger mining farms or gpu farms and connecting up instead of having to have tuns of motherboards. I am looking to maybe make a future farm for gpu mining realted coins and using the following
How effective they will be to connect upto a usb hub and then connect the 10 into one usb and add into a power and an ODROID

With ODROID kicks ass over Raspverry pi2 have done for a long time and USB3 and far better proformance than pi 2 and been out lot longer. If I ever get back into GPU mining on some profitable coins then this will be the way I go but I need to look at testing on Linux and looking at how AMD will work using linux and usb and odroid system

That looks like a very interesting system, thanks for sharing. I think that may be a new addition to my collection ... I have not had the chance to try anything with ODROID yet and the specs sure seem to blow a pi (or anything else I am using at the moment) out of the water.
Sure is and the previous version http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140448267127 the XU3 was even more powerful however they have discontinued it but why they have done that and released the XU4
XU3
Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex™-A15 2.0Ghz quad core and Cortex™-A7 quad core CPUs
* Mali-T628 MP6(OpenGL ES 3.0/2.0/1.1 and OpenCL 1.1 Full profile)
* 2Gbyte LPDDR3 RAM at 933MHz (14.9GB/s memory bandwidth) PoP stacked

Video of the new one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtqfC9v0xB0 with hardware review over other pi's

Seems they are both almost the same in specs just costs are lot less on the new one. Well worth the money as on 2nd video gives results of pi pi2 and other types and blows the results away.
