USB miners is like the dumbest decision you'll ever make... They profit you literally nothing, especially with the difficulty rising quickly.

So you buy a stick from sidehack or a reseller cost in the USA 30-40 dollars.

Just 1 your point it at this pool

if we hit a block you get .24- .25 btc

if you are running a pc 24/7 the extra power is 5 watts about 4 kwatts a month about 50 kwatts a year.

at 12 cents a kwatt 6 dollars so for 1 year maybe 45 dollars and 2 years 51 dollars.

the chances are we will hit a block if we play for 2 years.

Exactly what Phil said.

Something like this might give you enough power, but is pricey. amazon.com USB hub
