It is run by a Pi, yes, but we haven't even posted the price. Why would you pay for a miner if you can just buy the chips and boards?
As far as security...I am very well known around here and run an actual, legal business. I would be putting myself at far more risk than any of you if I was playing games with stealing your coins
Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry that we've never crossed paths, and so I have no reference for who's offering this, and I apologize if my comment came off a little heated. I guess I was taken aback by the fact that it being a Raspberry Pi was never mentioned in the post, which seemed a little off to me.
As for the comparison to buying a miner vs. building one... I don't think that's 100% fair. The biggest difference is that a miner is separate from a wallet. You're offering to compile an OS with wallets for folks, which should be understandably worrisome. While I trust that you intend only good things, I think you can understand where I may be coming from since you've been around a while... it would not be hard for someone to make a copy of all the private keys in the delivered products and steal funds later. Unless you addressed that somewhere that I missed. I suppose a person could always delete any pre-generated wallet.dat files, but that might not be a common skill among the folks likely to want this...
I'm really not trying to attach you. I'm just trying to raise some concerns I have about this and hope you can think about them...
