Hello everyone. My first post here. I have been reading the threads here and learning a lot...especially this thread. If I might ask a few questions in regards to these dual miners.
My questions might lean towards some general bitcoin and litecoin mining questions but in regards to using these specifically.
I am building my first litecoin mining rig and ordered 3 of these dual miners. My question is whether it makes sense to dual mine with them. Does it make sense to utilize the bitcoin mining function? Could you earn at all running 3..10 of these for bitcoin? Is it more of a "mine solo" all year lottery and maybe get lucky on the bitcoin? I am curious what the experienced miners here will do with them.
Thank you.
This is my opinion, you will get much more return out of the 70kh/s than 40kh/s in Scrypt Mining than you would trying to use the 500 KH/s in btc.
500 to me is about the same as 2 block erupters and people are ditching those left and right, with the exception of maybe a bitcoin rapper who will gold plate them and wear them as a medallion.
Granted if you configure properly, you can use a multipool or something and attempt to dedicate the resources to only alt-coin mining.
I think the real value is when enough of these 70's are combined together to the size of a rig.
Too your last point, you will get more mining SHA-256 alt coins than trying to get a lotto run, I don't remember the odds for block erupter mining for a block, but I think it was somewhere in the time-frame that your great grand kids may discover a block.
