Very nice device but way too expensive! Who will have incentives to use this at this price?

Developers/programmers/digital goods traders who see the benefits of the software. Buying it just to mine or run a node is not worth $400, as these are rather additional features, if I understand correctly.

Anyhow, looks really interesting.

I'm not sure I'm getting what is the point of this device... A Raspberry Pi with a small miner? And I don't understand why does it help app development.

Didn't know the new Raspberry accepted 128GB SD cards Cheesy

i really like that device.
its a little bit to expensive right now... but we need devices like this to make mining distributed Wink

a few questions / ideas:
 - is it pool mining or solo (i'd prefer solo...but that would just be a lottery)
 - is it possible to sell that device cheaper but make it mining to your address (if you dont have direct access to that device it would still be distributed mining as you dont have a chance to harm the bitcoin network)?
 - a version with an qr scanner and a few buttons for normal shops would be nice
I thought they'd be giving it out for free and generate revenue through mining.

Ah. They finally pop above the parapet.

I can't foresee it being sold by the checkout at Walmart somehow but very interesting all the same.

That device is very nice but at 400 dollars a pop it’s quite expensive, I followed the link and it would have being nice to see maybe a demo video of the device.

That is quite an expensive raspberry pi Shocked

Kinda cool device though, wondering how complicated the commandline stuff is.
