not worth it if you read the posts..64 core too slow they would need to develop 1024 core to make it better than gpu
depends on the power usage, price, and what it can actually hash whether it's better than a GPU or not.  ie - if you can get 5kh/s per core on a 64 core then that's 320kh/s at 5w usage.  that could possibly be worth $200.  time will tell.

The bitcoin algorithm doesn't map well onto the Epiphany archtiecture and there are already a lot of a few really fast bitcoin mining ASICs out there. However, Parallella should do well on the next coin mining craze called "litecoin". @solardiz at Openwall (the good guys behind John the Ripper password cracker) are looking into it.
