Title: I'm confused: Avalon Miner 741 - Bitcoin / Litecoin Profits...
Post by: Upstager on July 30, 2017, 05:16:11 PM
So this miner apparently yields a 7.3 TH/s mining rate and are cheap, so I feel like I'm missing something here.
If its mining Bitcoin, it shows roughly $169 in monthly profit.
If its mining Litecoin, it shows a ridiculous profit in the millions. haha

So what dont I understand. It can't mine Litecoin and strictly a Bitcoin miner?

It mines sha 256. Which includes BTC

IT does not mine any other algorithm such as scrypt which includes LTC

Ok, so its a BTC only miner. That makes a lot more sense.
Thank you for the response. Being new to the community I appreciate the help.

 Add Namecoin to that list, among ballpark a dozen more I think.

 Possibly the new BitCoinCash coin, but I want to see if that has ANY staying power before I recommend getting involved in it.
