At 2 MH/s per pi, times 7 billion people, you get a paltry 14 petahashes/s. That's a hair over 0.2% of the network...
You'd need three trillion raspberry pis to get half the network. Good luck with that!

- knocte 9y agoThanks so much for that analysis! My mind was not that irrational then when making that guess :)
