it'll come preinstalled with cgminer which ckolivas has already seen and will be working on.

I think this gets overlooked a lot. Having an experienced mining software developer woking on product software before launch has not been usual way around here. It's a very nice change and I'm looking forward to the results. +1 to hashfast for being proactive on this.

Agreed.

Thanks for your approval. Remember I just write the software though and have no control over the how when and what of the hardware performance, delivery, price, schedule etc. etc. My sum input into the hardware is only to do with the communication protocol and some input into how the microcontroller works. For my part, I have been pleased with what I've been involved in. That should not be taken as any kind of comment positive or negative about the hardware.

con, i'm thinking of installing the integrated cgminer/controller drivers directly onto my solo mining server which runs Stratum. how well would that work?

The final driver will be just part of a regular cgminer release so you can do whatever you want with it, so running it from any sort of PC or embedded device that can run cgminer would be fine. To run the stratum server as well as the mining software it'd probably need to be a real PC though, as the RPi isn't really up to that.

then i'm good. i'm running Ubuntu on a full pc.

sounds like i'll be able to get rid of the controller device.
