What are your thoughts on this? Thinking about getting one or two.
They're great for home mining, but you won't get the performance of the industrial miners of course.
You can set it up to run basically silent, so you can just keep it running 24/7 without you noticing it.
Note that it's a bit expensive for what it generates, but it's nice looking, works great, it's easy to setup, and can be run silently.
Also note that the miner software is closed sourced, so that might be an issue for some. I assumed it was open source when I got it and only realised about it later. You can download the binaries for Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu, and Windows from here.
You can either run this as a lottery miner, or earning a few bucks a week with a pool.

I would totally go for an industrial miner if it wasn't for the heat and noise it generates. Those two things are deal breakers for me.
Would you recommend paying less for the standard models and running their software on an RPi or should I go with their full featured model? Also, how many can you run in parallel (is it just three?) and do you recommend getting more than one?
it's good. is expensive per Ths but is rock solid and quiet
