It's been a minute since I last checked in.. Last time I was here the hard fork madness had just blown over. Glad to see things are back to normal with magi and the community is as friendly as ever.
I have 2 questions as they go with magi.

Second, I know there has been plenty of use/talk of XMG with the Raspberry pi. Has anyone ever tried these on other SoC? Specifically interested in Orange Pi, although experience with others would be interesting and helpful. If it matters and people that have worked with magi on the Rpi feel like helping I can dig up information as it pertains to the orange pi as needed. Thinking about maybe setting up a little miner/node, think it might be an interesting project for a boring winter weekend.
All that out of the way I really am glad to see magi is growing and doing well, especially in value. Crazy to think about where XMG was this time last year and compare to now. Is there anything else major that I've missed since the forking fiasco? I'll be sure to go back and read through the thread in the next week or so, but just as a quick and dirty recent history?
Been happily mining with my pi3's for nearly 2 months now.
Not looked at other SBC's due to the cost of them (very few in the rpi's price range get the same hashrate as far as i can see, i'm probably wrong though). Only down side of the orange pi is the A7 CPU is (I think) 32bit only, where as the A53 in a Pi3 is 64bit, (using 64 bit OS can squeeze out an extra 20%-30% larger hashrate for the same energy usage.)
