Title: Will a Butterfly Labs 5GH/s miner work to mine Litecoin? Post by: davidfox on June 21, 2017, 06:22:09 PM I have a Butterfly Labs 5GH/s miner (it's one of the older cubes, not the newer slim model,) and 5 GH/s isn't worth mining Bitcoin. Is it possible to mine Litecoin (or any other currencies) with this device? I haven't been able to Google much information, so I'm sort of starting here.
Model: BF0005G Thanks in advance! Title: Re: Will a Butterfly Labs 5GH/s miner work to mine Litecoin? Post by: VirosaGITS on June 21, 2017, 06:50:18 PM No way in the world. Litecoin is scrypt algo and Bitcoin is sha256d. You may want to go inquire for litecoin asics in the altcoin board, this is the BTC board.

Is it anything more than a paperweight now? Title: Re: Will a Butterfly Labs 5GH/s miner work to mine Litecoin?

Yes, sell it on ebay for a few sheckles and put that money toward either a modern day asic miner or a GPU miner. |
