Maybe they are mining on them for a week, then pass the savings onto us??

Well I bet in a week bitcoin prices are back up a bit after the US marshall auction fiasco so they would be cheaper BTC. Also the rocket boxes are delayed to the same day, the 27th, however the rocket box does not come with a controller (Raspberry Pi ) and the S3 does. The S3 is faster hashing too. I can trust the S3 already because of the track record with the S2. I will wait patiently.

Where did you read about a RPi on the S3? Since they may also have an upgrade path for the S1, I would think the easiest way would be to continue to use the OpenWrt controller board as the S1's have.

The only reason I'd prefer those crappy little controllers is they don't chew up SD cards like RPIs can/do. In a perfect world I'd much prefer something with embedded flash storage, either a custom design ($$) or maybe a beaglebone black.

Beaglebone's chew up cheap-ass SD cards too. Buy high-quality class 10 cards (I prefer Patriot brand) and you will have far fewer problems.

Beaglebones chew up SD cards when running from flash? That's interesting...

Aren't patriot about the cheapest cards you can buy?
