The question to you is open though: What you think ASIC block miners do and are made for?

Those are bitcoin miners. No idea if you could even program them to work on BOINC. You would probably be better off getting some small boards that can run android on ARM, like the PINE 64 mentioned in the android support section. There are also Odroids which will work, or you can buy cheap quad core tablets that will run BOINC.

Ahh they are only for bitcoin. Bummer. Was hoping those high hash rates would eat up work units. Dont want to mess with an army of Pi3 now. Same space and similar power requirements i could have crazy speed. Hmm.
