You should also be able to use the ol' Intel Compute Sticks for staking and other Atom-based PCs as well; I got a nice mini Windows PC with a Z3735F processor for around $35 from China about a year and a half ago and it works fine for staking. I can also find new Compute Sticks selling for $35 and up (cheaper ones run Ubuntu) on eBay right now if you're looking for a small device for staking. They work pretty well for other purposes if you choose to stop staking with 'em too.

Yeah, Atom PC's work well too; but the most ECO and $ friendly solution ive found is using a RPi.

i have had troubles with raspberry pi in the past
i used to stake solaris coin but after 20 to 24 hours raspberry pi used to shutdown automatically
there was no thermal or any other issue and it also took a lot of time to open the wallet
i also would not trust any private vps to hold coins for me and stake
a simple second hand laptop can get the job done with charger plugged in and battery removed for long term staking

any mini pc does the job.

Also RPIs do a great job

you beat me to it. just use a USB HDD for the blockchain storage. Rpi is cakework for staking machines.

If you can get a free VPC (AWS or something similar), then you can use that sort of service as well. I believe Max Lee uses VM's on the web in datacenters for his staking wallets.

A non technical guy in a technical world

Is there a small device that would be simple to stake multiple coins at once? I have 6 or 7 right now I would like to stake and several more I plan to aquire.
