Title: [WTB] Small miner
Post by: miguelik on March 29, 2017, 08:25:04 PM
Hello

I am willing to buy a small miner (no more than 400 w, better under 250 W, best around 100W) just for solo mining & having some fun.

Given this i dont care what algorythym.

If you have an old miner laying around it`s your oportunity!

If you're OK with Scrypt, I have these museum pieces for sale:

Wait for Baikal to stock up miners again. Then you will get state of art miner that consumes 160-250w depending on algo. (Quad miner)

Would you be interested in an Antminer U3?

Something like this is perfect for miguelik - you should include which version of the U3 it is and whether or not you've run into issues. They are notorious for being a bit of a pain, which again is perfect for a new user.
The U3 is the type of device that will let you know whether or not you are actually ready to mine since it comes with an entire suite of issues yet can also be reliable.

miguelik - Can you confirm the algorithm/coin you are looking for a miner for?

I have a Batch 3 one (the one with more open case). It occasionally goes into ZOMBIE state and needs to be restarted but using sidehack's (gekkoscience) cgminer fork it seems a lot more stable.

Hello

I am not searching an algorithm in particular,

I once had an Antminer u3, which was ok but I don't want to have to deal with the zombie problem, as I have read that almost all u3's have them.

I am searching for something like an Antminer s3, or less, but that can run stable for 3 days without issue, and I am not sure if the u3 can do that...

How long can it run without issues?

3-4 days.

I also have an SP20E which can be underclocked and one can disable certain boards to further reduce power usage.
