Honestly, one is not sure - Tom might be a better person to ask as he's
the 'other guy' interested in these devices. For me, I suppose like
everything else made of silicon and full of electrons that falls into my
hands I'd probably end up seeing how good it is at hashing - bitcoins
for morons I guess, rainbow tables for me. I like passwords more than
cryptocurrency (although I do also like cryptocurrency - the idea
perhaps more than the reality).

18 crappy ARM cores versus my multi-GPGPU rig is like bringing a knife
to a thermonuclear holocaust fight though so I'll probably have to think
of something more practical to do with it. Suggestions welcome. Either
way, I'll inevitably buy one just because.

Cheers
