If NXT keeps on growing this fast then all the Raspberry Pis will be sold out in a few months just like ATI Radeon 7950, mark my words! Well anyway I just ordered 5, can't wait to get them running Grin

But how do you plan to make money with them?

Yes please explain...
If I have 50k NXT and I put them in one account then my chances of forging a block are 0.005%, if I split this across 10 accounts logged in with 10 Pi then I have 10 x 0.0005% chances of forging a block - is that right?

Isn't that the same chance?
So why would I spend the money on more H/W - why wouldn't I buy more NXT?

There is a lot of talk about people buying and setting up PIs on here so could someone please explain?

Thanks

Raspberry Pis are a cheap way to stand up lots of new nodes fast to stabilize the network from DDoS attack more so than using them for forging new NXT coins.

I guessed as much - I'm running 3 nodes to do my small part to help... I just wonder if some people will mistakenly buy PIs thinking they are mining machines for NXT - which it is clear they are not and they would have been better increasing their stake... Of course if they want to buy 5 or 10 PIs to help the network that is fine but are they clear it won't help them get more NXT unless someone is paying them to do it of course.
