This is a very interesting project. I wish you success!!!
I like the idea of using an energy efficent machine, but there are tons of other devices besides the raspberry pi, some with even lower power consumption and it doesn't really make sense to exclude those. Though it would make the initial distribution much more complicated.
what about my odroid

My Raspberry Pi ready ^ ^
Just bought a Raspberry Pi exclusively for this, can't wait. 
I've ordered a bunch of raspberries in anticipation of this.
Each Bitcointalk account may only register one Raspberry Pi for inclusion in genesis block. Any more, and you may get caught by the taint analysis and refused.
Will you limit newbie accounts somehow?
I have one of the "older" model b Pis with 256 mb ram, I think many others too. Will they also be able to mine this?
I would not recommend a 256MB Raspberry Pi for the client software today. However, with additional memory optimizations it may prove a viable platform at some time in the future.
A 256MB Pi is perfectly adequate to reserve a spot in the genesis block.
Ok, thx. I love the idea !

EDIT: There will be no additional taint analysis. One Raspberry Pi to one Bitcointalk account will be the method for acquiring stake in initial distribution
Finally something for my RaspberryPI 
another POS coin... i am in
Yeah, skyrocket... NXT!

PiNX is the first 100% Proof-of-Stake (PoS) currency designed EXCLUSIVELY for the Raspberry Pi
PiNX DOES NOT use any Bitcoin code — it is a RASPBERRIER fork of Nxt
SO MUCH YUM!!!
(Pronounced ‘pinks’, currency ticker is PNX)
What sets PiNX apart?
- A NO-MONEY initial distribution
- NO CURRENCY REQUIRED to be included in the genesis block! All you need is a Raspberry Pi and a Bitcointalk account
- What you DO NEED:
- Raspberry Pi (512MB Revision B, w/SD card) see ---> http://www.raspberrypi.org
- 16GB (or greater) USB Flash Drive
- Bitcointalk account
- Initial distribution by registering the UNIQUE Raspberry Pi serial number to a UNIQUE Bitcointalk user (via prepared custom Pi IMG, delivered February 14th)
- The MOST POWER EFFICIENT currency available today
- ALL NODES running on Raspberrry Pi.
- Less than 5 WATTS per node
- THROW AWAY your ASICs and your GPUs, you ain't gonna need 'em
- NO SOFTWARE TO SETUP
- Buy a pre-built SD card, PLUG IT IN to your Raspberry Pi, TURN IT ON, enter your passphrase... DONE
- Or, you can flash your own using the official IMG file
- Or, if you’re the REALLY nerdy type (like me), all source code and instructions will be available so you can build your own IMG from scratch.
- INCREASED ACCOUNT SECURITY by requiring use of dedicated, standalone Linux platform
- Draws upon PROVEN open source communities, including Linux, Debian, and Raspbian for Operating System security
- Built-in FIREWALL protection
- Created by an experienced embedded Linux developer who understands BEST SECURITY PRACTICES
- No more malware, viruses, trojans, or keyloggers STEALING your valuable passphrase!
- Official releases will include operating system updates and latest version of Oracle Java PRE-INSTALLED
- ENTIRE SYSTEM (Hardware, Operating System, Client Software) will be open source and available for peer review
- PLUS, PiNX will inherit all the cool features from Nxt (as they get developed)
- Decentralized Alias System
- Decentralized DNS
- Basic DDoS Protection
- Decentralized Asset Exchange
- Colored Coins
- Transparent Forging
- Arbitrary Messaging
- Instant Transactions
- Decentralized Marketplace / Auction
- Distributed Storage
- Multi-signatures
- Blockchain Shrinking
- Two-phase Payments
- Voting System
- Reputation System
- Decentralized Mixing Service
- Distributed Computing
- Smart Contracts
- Hardware Wallets
Tentative development schedule
| Jan 20 | Proof of concept complete, project announced |
| Feb 9 | Simple website in place |
| Feb 14 | Distribute genesis procurement IMG and begin collecting usernames and Raspberry Pi IDs |
| Mar 23 | End collection of IDs for initial distribution |
| Apr 7 | Official client IMG release with all initial accounts seeded |
| Apr 21 | Full source code release, accompanied by step-by-step 'build-your-own' instructions |
| TBD | Contribute changes upstream |
| Later | Inexpensive, prepackaged hardware platforms available for purchase Automatic updates to keep your system safe Point-of-Sale hardware units for merchants |
If you are interested, watch this thread and become involved
Thx, PiNX.
