Found a model B 1.2 in my hoard. Can't think of anything to do with it, lol.

Turn it into a motion detection / live feed camera?

Maybe actually. Could use cheap laptop internal cameras. Only problem is USB cable length. Any other dirt cheap way to acquire cameras?

Is that a porno? Hehe.. kidding. Interesting. Anyways, I decided to turn it into a Bitcoin node.

There's really cheap camera modules you can get for the Raspberry Pi.

Yea, I saw those, but can you run more than one? Laptop replacement/salvaged cams are not much more/free. Be cool to have a few of them. They are all USB though :(

Wish I had one running when the police were here last year. Call was totally unrelated to me, or my apartment, but 3 of them just barged their way in my place anyways. After I told them they weren't welcome. None of them put it in their reports so my complaint went nowhere.
