Title: Butterfly Labs SGL 60GH/s Bitcoin miner
Post by: ludmila on December 01, 2013, 03:50:31 AM
I recently acquired a Butterfly Labs SGL 60GH/s Bitcoin miner. My questions are:

   1. Is this still a viable miner for mining Bitcoin?
   2. Is it already set up to mine NMC Namecoin? 
   3. Can I easily set it up to mine LTC Litecoin? 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is my first mining experience.

I think all machine will mine any coins that are set up to be mined under the same mining standards. I don't think 60gh/s is that much anymore though. Obviously someone with some experience needs to answer this, but Ive been reading alot lately on crypto currencies, and am new to this forum. Good luck with your mining.

Hi ,

You cannot mine Litecoins with the SGL 60GH/s as the ASICs are designed only for SHA-255 algorithm

Forget to mine anything scrypt algorithm based with a BTC mining machine.
