Great post! I love how Gridcoin doesn't require ASICs (or even GPUs, or even Xeons) to be competitive/profitable. The best value I've found so far is actually a single board computer: the Odroid XU4. $80, generating 27 magnitude (6 GRC per day) on Universe@Home.

Thats a bit faster /about the same then the atom in the UPs under Linux - but there are only 4 cores. (And 5W less, but thats to expected :D).

Do your universe tasks run smoothly? Since about 2 month I often have one or even more that just don't go farther. It is one reason why I switched to TN Grid for the atoms.

Wow that's a lot! My Orange Pi PC & One + Raspberry Pi 3 + Pine 64 all makes 26 mag combined in that project...

It's nice that the Odroid comes with powersupply and active cooler too. Just need to pop in a SD card and some kind of connectivity (wifi dongle or ethernet). My Pine64 is 8 mag, my RaspPi3's average 10 each. Orange Pis are still in the mail from China...

The problem I've seen is that my CPUs throttle because of the heat, and I tried attaching a USB fan and it fried one of the PSUs... :( With the fan, the Orange Pi One was running pretty nice. Maybe because of that is why my mag is pretty low.

I can't wait to receive the rest of my SBCs so I can write a post here comparing their relative values. By the way, was it very difficult to get the wallet running on a Pi?

If you use Ubuntu I think there is a community hosted repository.  I use Raspian-lite so I compile it from source code, if you need it I have full instructions which I can make a post about if you like.
