That is pretty cool. First I heard of the Pi 3.
We had the Pi2 Overclocked to 1.050 Ghz and it was still really slow. The dashd only runs a single core, so the other 3 cores are just idling. This Pi3 has a 1.2 Ghz - maybe overclockable a little. This would maybe save 20% off the boot time, still not fast.
We just tested the Odroid-XU4 and we can be fully loaded and ready for a transaction between 7 and 10 minutes = win. Saving 30+ minutes on bootup is worth the extra $50. Now just need to get the display working and the github code will be complete for the Xu4 too.
