Title: Cheapest USB miners for beginner?
Post by: dustofdeath on November 28, 2013, 05:43:40 PM
Im lookign  through trreads and stuff but mostly i see high price  high GHS stuff, sold out stuff or scams.

I cant filter out whats even worth lookign at.

The 333mhs block erupters are way too expensive ( with postage - on ebay they go for nearly 70$ - thats liek 2 years for 'ROI).

Is there anything currently around thats even remotely worth lookign at  at low price range?

Unfortunately the USBs have inflated to this unbelievable price. People now a days are paying 50+ bucks for a 8 dollar device. Honestly, skip the USB's and go with a blade (if you can get one for like 200ish) or step up into the real hardware. Thats they only way to actually make anything now a days.

Those are the cheapest of the cheap. If you want ROI, don't mine bitcoin...

roi may not work yeah.. but even ignoring btc.. the prices iv seen are insanely high.


unfortunately blades are out of my league - 500$ to invest into those jus tto start/give btc minign a try is just too much - and i dont have that much free money or btc anyways.

take what ever money you do have and just buy bitcoin. Thats the best chance you have at making any money at this stage of the game TBH

I believe that blade can be acquired for 0.7 btc but most of these sellers have not even attempted to adjust to the new exchange rate. The diff is still jumping and the reward for mining still is not very high. 6-9 month roi on a block erupter at $60. Just insane. They should be back at the $10 level at the most.
