The new Raspberry Pi 2 is out today and stays at the same $35 price. A 900MHz Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU with 1GB RAM. It will run Windows 10.

I saw that. If anyone gets one and runs NIS, let me know.
Based on what BloodyRookie has said, I would run NIS only on such a device and limit the memory to 512mb or maybe 768mb.

Wow, that is really amazing. It only costs $35 and not only can it run Windows 10, but Microsoft is also going to make Windows 10 Raspi version for free!

This is a huge game changer for people in poor countries. They can go from no computer to Windows 10 and skip all that is in between. Of course it will be slow and won't be able to handle much, but that is still pretty amazing.

It also can run on a 5 volt charge. That is pretty awesome. We could run dozens or hundreds of NEM nodes for what it cost in electricity to run just a single Bitcoin ASIC (which isn't even a node but just a small fraction of one).

The one complaint I have is that I wish they would have bumped the RAM up to 2 gigs. Maybe later there will be a 2+ version. Other than that, I think it is an amazing job.
