What about my questions regarding the possibility to use this to run miners in a datacentre?
of course you can run those in a datacenter and connect remotely to them. ssh and web+https start on boot. forum users suggest that 40 usb asic miners (block eruptors) can run on a single raspberry.
I did not understand why to include a second R pi, thus did not answer earlier, did not make sense. there is no way how the second one would take over the mining coordination in case of the failure of the first one.
Thanks for answering. I thought about the second raspi because the datacentre will be far away. So the only contact to the miners would be through the raspi. I already have read that a raspi is restarting itself when it stucks. But it might be useful to be able to administrate the miners when something other happens to the raspi.

I would recommend using something like this if you are wanting faster power cycle times than waiting for a "hands on" tech at the datacenter to get around to taking action on your ticket. I guess it all depends on your co-lo agreement.
http://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.htmlInteresting... so its possible to switch power on and off via web contact to this device? That could probably solve all problems the miner or the raspi has.
Yeah, it's a pretty cool unit. You just need a direct IP or some firewall to port forward to a specific port. The management port is configurable too. There are also scripting options and auto-ping with power cycle... Example, can't reach a specific IP? It will power cycle a specific power plug for X number of times with X delay. I have had zero issues with it and have used it many times via my mobile phone while out of town etc.
