Title: did i really make that much :) Post by: qtronix on November 04, 2013, 12:41:27 AM i started mining with 2 usb asic for about a day, then i had 6 more come so i have 8 in total. over 3 1/2 days i have had about 4-5 hours down time when i had to change hubs and mess about with the setting.
but i have earned the grand sum of $3 about £2 ;D. even though i have used more electric to run them then they have earned i want to buy more ;D. does this amount sound about right. ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: Magazine on November 04, 2013, 12:46:29 AM Sounds about right lol

Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: InwardContour on November 04, 2013, 01:01:00 AM yeah, sounds about right, but if this goes where i think it will go -- and you hold -- it will be soooo worth it!
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: qtronix on November 04, 2013, 01:24:23 AM i am using a old dell desktop unit with 2.8ghz and a 19amp power supply for the hubs and a fan with a 5v 4amp power pack, i think i have to look at being more efficient ;D
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: ScryptAsic on November 04, 2013, 01:38:14 AM Yeah, but that's really little.. going to drop further more after the difficulty hike in about 1.5 days....
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: newflesh on November 04, 2013, 02:04:55 AM It's crazy that people are still paying $1000's on Ebay for asics ??? I might get me a BlueFury miner when I can afford one, though only as a hobby...
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: Shallow on November 04, 2013, 05:28:58 AM Hobby mining is really all that is left for most people.
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: WhiteLite on November 04, 2013, 06:55:03 AM its upsetting to see mining dying and the ASIC chip companies destroying it all :( Defiantly a hobby thing now to just make a few dollars to get into BitCoins. i think USB miners are a good gateway into BTC though :D
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: qtronix on November 04, 2013, 07:50:49 AM Yeah, but that's really little.. going to drop further more after the difficulty hike in about 1.5 days.... i can see a lot of people start selling of there equipment if the difficulty gets to hard it won't be worth plugging them in. Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: zengryT on November 04, 2013, 10:30:42 AM Yeah, but that's really little.. going to drop further more after the difficulty hike in about 1.5 days.... i can see a lot of people start selling of there equipment if the difficulty gets to hard it won't be worth plugging them in. I thought about this few months back, but still the miners pay only small % of mined BTC for electricity. No need to turn the miners off yet Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: beegatewood on November 04, 2013, 10:48:58 AM Yeah, but that's really little.. going to drop further more after the difficulty hike in about 1.5 days.... i can see a lot of people start selling of there equipment if the difficulty gets to hard it won't be worth plugging them in.

No need to turn the miners off yet Yup, if what you get is more then the electricity charges, then its better to just continue mine while selling it on ebay....

Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: jakiman on November 04, 2013, 11:59:04 AM Are those USB ASICS useless if you don't use them for BTC mining?
I have a Radeon 6950 and a 7770 in my PC and seems I can do about 500. Obviously no where near as efficient as the USB ASIC but USB ASICs still costs around $25 each. (in Oz at least) Can these be somehow made for Scrypt mining instead later on? Seems like BTC mining is now a little too difficult unless you invest a lot which is expensive. =( Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: MineNerd on November 04, 2013, 12:37:27 PM You can use those to mine SHA256 alt coins as well.
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: lemipawa on November 04, 2013, 12:40:19 PM where do you get those usb?
Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: birkomester on November 04, 2013, 03:28:18 PM where do you get those usb? Ebay, Amazon but they really dont wirth the cost. If you want one there is a link: http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-336MH-Sapphire/dp/B00F7CWKYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383578873&sr=8-1&keywords=bitcoin+miner But they really dont worth it Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: exstasie on November 04, 2013, 03:50:55 PM i started mining with 2 usb asic for about a day, then i had 6 more come so i have 8 in total. over 3 1/2 days i have had about 4-5 hours down time when i had to change hubs and mess about with the setting. but i have earned the grand sum of $3 about £2 ;D. even though i have used more electric to run them then they have earned i want to buy more ;D. does this amount sound about right. ;D ;D ;D you've made $3 now! Imagine though with the increase in price how much that'll be worth in a year..maybe $6!! Title: Re: did i really make that much :) Post by: adicted on November 04, 2013, 03:52:11 PM what you have is not $3 its $3 in bitcoin ! if theres 100 % raise on bitcoin you get $6 !
