This smells like a GPL violation. You need to post the binary and all the build scripts to create the binary distribution in order to comply with the GPLv3.

I was under the impression that if I do not modify the source code and keep the open sourced copy on the device I'm selling that I am not violating GPLv3, am I wrong to think that?

I have added the option to buy the SDHC card alone without the Pi.

I'm still looking into getting Raspberry Pis for a better price so the price for the whole kit has not changed drastically yet.

Please let me know of any issues.

Just how much do you think those plastic cases or cables cost in volume? Its not impossible, nor used. Its from quite a reputable seller.
RS/allied also sells Model B's for $35

$37 with 8GB card

OK, note taken. I will do some more research and see if I can purchase it cheaper and will definitely alter the price accordingly.

Thanks for your help!

Regarding the price, we're selling the Model B Raspberry Pi which is $50 alone. Add the Case, power cable, sdhc card, shipping and installation time and you'll find that we're actually selling it for quite cheap.

You can buy the complete kit on amazon for $65

Charging $100 to image an SD card is not quite cheap IMO. THough the idea is cool.

Wow that's pretty cool, I have to say I can't buy these where I live for that price. It's kind of weird since the Raspberry Pi B model price is fixed pretty much worldwide on $50, so he has to fit in an SD card, HDMI, power cable and case for 15 which is impossible, so maybe it's refurbished or something?

One more thing about the SDHC card, the one you're seeing on the picture is a Class 4 SDHC card, I'm providing a class 10 card which read/writes much faster.

No I'm actually not greedy, if you take all costs into account you will see so yourself.

Im guessing they will adjust prices depending on demand.

xabbix, If I could make a suggestion, can you pre-load with a little btc in there?

If somebody is paying $165, how about giving $5-$20 worth of btc as a little promotional give away.

Obvious suggestion is to just sell a suitably configured SD card on its own.  

You've also got a typo, you've accidentally put a 1 in front of $65 Wink

We took the Raspberry Pi and made it into an offline Bitcoin wallet.

It's powered by Raspbian and has Bitcoin Armory pre-installed which allows you to manage your offline wallet, receive coins, print paper wallets and more..

Using the Cold Pi is easy, just plug it in to an HDMI source, wait for it to boot and you're good to go.

We've started taking orders today via BitPay.

For more info please visit the Cold Pi website: http://coldpi.com (Still missing some manuals and FAQs, for any questions please ask here or email [email protected])

If you have any suggestions or ideas on how to improve Cold Pi we will be more than happy to hear.

Thanks.
