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.
