if they dropped in a scrypt board option it would be a nice solo miner.
There is a scrypt board. I actually run the unit with two of them installed. The total hash rate is approximately 160 MH/s, which isn't particularly high, but it's still 14 times better than the Lucky Miner LG07, which costs only slightly less. The Byte would be a decent choice for solo LTC/DOGE mining if not for its software and hardware reliability issues.
