Title: Anyone using NerdMiner? Post by: tenakha on December 22, 2023, 11:19:10 AM I'm looking to get back into mining in 2024 and was considering NerdMiner as a an option to get started with.
What are peoples experiences with USB miners and small miners like this? Is this a waste of money, should I be looking elsewhere? Title: Re: Anyone using NerdMiner?

According to my findings, it is for solo mining but the hash rate is just 56KH/s. If you want to mine, you need hardwares that can generate TH which is a million or more times powerful in hash rate generation. Get yourself Bitmain Antminer that can generate at least 100 TH/s and join a mining pool.

Buy a usb stick from geckominers. https://altairtech.io/product/gekkoscience-compac-f-200g/ here is 1 seller $189 and 200gb and burns 10 watts or so you item is 50 and 50kbs and burns 3 watts or so. the gecko is 20,000 times the power. If you live in the USA I would hook you up with an s9 modded to run 1 board at 300 watts it would act as a small fairly quiet space heater. I have a thread on it some where.

- https://github.com/BitMaker-hub/NerdMiner_v2 You can build it and it supports multiple hardware units but it seems it's not using ASIC chips that's why the hash rate is very low compared to a USB ASIC miner(Compac F). And it seems you can't mine on a known solo pool like Ckpool due to its low-difficulty share but they listed pools that support this miner. This is awesome as a project but you won't make any profit. However, it seems they are planning to use ASIC in the future. Title: Re: Anyone using NerdMiner?
