Is there anyone here who are mining earthcoin with scrypt asics?

I want to help secure the network, but I don’t know much about mining. If someone can advice on what to buy (low price range) and how to set up the asic that would be great!

A gridseed or a zeusminer blizzard are both quite cheap. I am currently mining with both on a different coin, but I do mine earthcoin with them. They work just fine. Gridseeds can be had for around 20 bucks if you look around, and I think the Blizzard is running about 60 right now. 360 KH and 1.2-1.4 MH respectively. Blizzard is a more powerful machine, but the gridseed is more stable. Which is why I stated a solid number vs. a range Tongue That has been my exerience. I have less than .05% variance on the Gridseed, and the blizzard is all over the map. But it does, on average, very well.

Power consumption combined is less than 100 watts. It's like leaving a light on.
