No more buying in England with a message. :(
Sorry, the Raspberry Pi Zero has temporarily sold out due to high demand.

If you want to use one for crunching, be aware that just because it runs linux, it cannot run normal linux BOINC apps. The apps have to be compiled for linux on the ARM CPU.


Here is a starting place for projects that support raspberry pi BOINC apps:

Not sure how up to date that page is. There may be a more up to date page here on our web site that I posted to. But search is impossible.

How would you crunch on one of these? and benefits and/or projects will it run? Utopia?

If this could actually work, I would buy a bunch for WGC & WUProp.

Maybe we could do a group buy when they are available again. I would pay double per CPU ( ;) hahaha) if someone would want to set them up.
