N2+ or Khadas VIM3. They're the only ones that have more performance than this SoC.
I've got the NanoPC T3+ with this SoC. Single core performance isn't great. But multi-core it is amazing. Faster than the RK3399.
Here some old benchmarks. For you the CPUMiner scores are important.

It would be hard to make enough money to repay the devices, and power.
The Odroid N2+ is one of the most energy efficient SBCs around. When maxed out on CPUs it only consumes 6W. Most others need double of that for half the performance.
These days mining isn't done on computer hardware but on specialized hardware. So with a few SBCs you can't compete with these ASICs.
But if you use solar power then you've got the big advantage that you don't need to pay for energy costs. What's the biggest cost for ASICs. If you really want to do this, then do your research well. Else it's a probable moneypit. But at least you can enjoy the SBCs.
Greetings.
