Power to the independent miners.
Ideally, the centralized mining cartel which is comprised of for-profit miners dumping into the markets can be overthrown.
The price point on these scrypt ASICs is just fine for any newcomer.
Can you tell us more about the platform's capabilities?
You mentioned a quad-core A7 ARM based controller.
What I would like to do is assemble a small swarm of them which report to a local P2Pool and coin daemon.
What's in the image for the controller currently?
Where are the sources for any modified miner which is required by them?
If some high quality work is contributed to help improve the platform software to give new buyers an easy way to join a P2Pool with their Apollo miners, would it be accepted upstream and be included in future images?
I'm looking for a way to do two things well.
1.) provide the common man an easy to use accessible miner which doesn't sound like a jet engine
2.) customize the control interface with retail branding and support options
Would love to hear your thoughts about the expectations new mom and pop miners may have with regards to support.

Yes this is exactly what I intended to do with this platform. Probably wont make it into the initial image release, but eventual I want to give people the ability to run full nodes and connect to a p2pool for a true decentralized mining ecosystem.
Definitely send me a PM if this is something your interested in, I'm looking for more software devs for the UI side of things.
i was wondering about the same thing. i am hoping in your web interface we need the full address of the wallet or pool.
ie
http://192.165.0.2:3389
stratum+tcp://bills.pool.com:3389
that would be super if its done that way. thanks
most of the other manufactors get hung up on making you only put a strattum address nothing else.
