Guess these will do $8/$10 a month atm

9.32 USD per month says nicehash without electricity costs at 6mh

So at 80$ each it may not make sense.  I mean why not buy a single Radeon rx570 4gb for $200 (mines at 23-25 mh/s), makes about $70 per month on nicehash before electricity cost.  For me with fairly high electricity cost it still generates $47 per month when factoring that in.  I think with proper bios mod, you can reduce power consumption a lot.  You would need 4-5 moonlanders ($320-$400) to get the same mh/s.

And when mining is no longer profitable you still have a usable graphics card.

The only benefit i see is if you want a completely silent opperation.

4 of these will make the same profit as an RX 570, at nearly the same cost at 1/4 the power consumption. With no where near the complexity needed to setup GPU mining etc etc.

If your a new miner and want a plug in and play miner this is the easiest and cheapest way to start. (just to start a simple GPU mining rig you need 500+).

Alot of people I know buying these from me are crypto enthusiasts gifting them to friends/family. The utility of USB miners/cost of entry, power consumption etc are priceless.

Yeah, I could see gifting these to people to introduce them into mining for sure.  I will be curious to see the longevity of these when set to run full out at almost 6mh (might need to provide more cooling).  At 7.5w to get there, got to use usb 3.x. , 2.x only provides 2.5 watts.  

If these only produce $9 per day each on nicehash, I'm not sure how 4 of these are going to make the $70 a day on nicehash  the rx 570 would make by mining things other than just scrypt.

moonlanders not working on NH difficulty to high, I tried the diff setting low and no go!
