I've heard that USB miners aren't really useful for mining anymore but I really want to experience what mining is like, even if I'm not really getting anything more than a few satoshis. With them being pretty outdated I was wondering if anyone had one or two left over from when they actually were useful, that would be willing to send them to me. I could probably pay for shipping if need be. I understand that even the cost of the electric needed to use it, is more than I will get out f it, but it is nothing something I will be doing long. Like I said, kinda just want the experience.
Thank you all in advance.
I have 10 of them kicking around. Personally, I still can't believe that they are still selling, and/or that people are still buying them. I get that you want the experience, but even with all 10 hooked up, I doubt you'd see much of anything out of them.
Where are you located roughly?
Well I have nothing to lose but time honestly. I don't pay for electric, so I don't have to worry about that. Also I'm a bit of a show off, my sister thinks all of this is a huge scam. She doesn't get that putting your computer to work can generate something that equates to money. If I can get her on board the cryptocurrency train I'd feel pretty accomplished and maybe convince her to throw down some money with me to get a real miner.
I'm in NY a little outside of Poughkeepsie.
