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 With them being pretty outdated I was wondering if anyone had one or two left over from when they actually were useful, that would be willing to send them to me.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.
Thank you all in advance.
Most miners out on ebay are obselete in profitability.
Dont forget the power costs when mining.
Good to play with if you want to mine for a little project. But USB's stick miners are pretty much not for profit.
is any miner really for profit?
I still say yes for ME personally. I have lower priced KWH. I had to do somethings to make it profitable again, sold and shutdown my many GPU rigs. Parted them out. The heat and low earnings did make those where I just could not do it anymore at level I was doing.
Moved onto next generations. I feel good about my mining operation. And there are some good hosting options out there for those not able to have miners at home. But I also love mining. I think there is a good mixture with both mining and trading. I know some will say buy and sit on it for years and profit. But so far mining has been good to me. The only secret is buy a quality machine, no pre-order, and have a decent power price or hosting option. And at the end of profitability sell the miner don't put it on a shelf.
