Last night around 12:30am I finally got my Raspberry Pi + BFL Jalapeño to work together. This means I can run 24/7 using just 36 Watts of power. Also, now I can move this noisy (whirring fan) device into any room in the house that's accessible with an ethernet cable. Maybe I'll even put it in the chicken coop so it keeps the chickens warm? In any case, this is a huge jump since last month with my ATI GPU + Mac Pro I was mining at 55x slower speed while using 7x as much electricity.

After yesterday's whopping 28% difficulty increase, 5.5GH/s earns .17BTC/day (approx $20). But at 36 Watts the power consumption is 11 cents per day, so this should continue to be profitable for some time yet.
Or this will suddenly be a huge waste of time, money, and electricity if Bitcoin fails altogether...

Special thanks to the MinePeon project which made this process a lot less painful than it could have been.
