So after a while of running these little machines I have an update.

I'm running on a Pi and getting exactly what was advertised, here's a cgminer screenshot: https://imgur.com/qnqb71q.

I'm on power setting 4 and am pulling roughly 78W per unit so ~1TH/s at 100W, which is pretty damn good for how quiet these things are.

I did end up changing my power supply a few weeks ago to a SeaSonic SSR-650FX which handles the load easily. Also much quieter than the bitmain AWM7 or whatever that turbo induction power supply was.

I'm not sure if I'm on the most current version of VH's cgminer, everything is running pretty well so I see no need to change it.

It looks like if I were to upgrade my cpu and run an actual computer as the controller I'd be able to squeeze a bit more hash power from these units without incurring a significant power draw. But I haven't gotten around to wiping windows off an older HP machine and doing an Ubuntu build, I might never get around to it, who knows.
