Hey guys,
New to bitcoin mining. Joined slush's pool. This is just kinda something im playing with and dont expect to make any real money off of it. Currently running m gpu and getting about 75 Mhash/s. I dont really want to continue to use my GPU to mine. I was looking into ASICMiner Block Erupter 335 mh/s for around 25 dollars used. My question is are there any compatibility issues i will have with these or should it just be a plug in and mine type of deal? Like i said, i dont expect to make money just playing around, not trying to invest a couple grand into a unit to hash for me.
Thanks. Red
You should not have any compatibility issues. It is essentially plug and hash. But it depends on the software.
This - but shop around, you can get them for closer to $10 on eBay now. Don't expect to ever make your money back though, unless BTC go up crazily in price...
Just to add to that - you might do better with an Antminer U1 which work in the same way, but hash 6 times faster for around twice the price.
