We keep 1 or 2 robots functional year round. That would give us 4 cRios left over for bit-coin mining.

I don't know all the details of FPGA mining but would 2500 pooled miners be worth while? What about 5,000 or 10,000? Just curious at what point it would start to become worthwhile or if it ever would.
