I mean it might will in 5 years. Antminer s1 is no longer available, but I own 6 of them and love it. Bitmain has released their latest S3, and I would recommend to buy those instead of using U1. Much faster and ROI will be less that a year.

Don't mine on usb. I guess you won't listen, so http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet%C2%AE-Power-Adapter-Cable-Chipset/dp/B00DCO9YVM/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1405196453&sr=8-20&keywords=bitcoin+miner This is what you need. May not be the cheapest out there. Also, I and half the members here will have 2 or 3 of these knocking about nowadays unused. Maybe post a WTB thread. S1 isn't worth it anymore. S3 is marginal.

Oh,ok, thx for the info. I bought s1,is it that bad? It will be my first try. Can I contact you via pm if I face any problem or want to make a better decision?

Oh,ok, thx for the info. I bought s1,is it that bad? It will be my first try. Can I contact you via pm if I face any problem or want to make a better decision? a) do you have a psu for it? b) do you have a ethernet connection for it? I can suggest ways to mine with it. 1 day a week you could solo mine it on www.bitsolo.net if you win you get 25 btc odds are you won't 6 days a week you can mine it at www.btcguild.com it will earn steady fraction of coins but not a lot of them. Title: Re: Question about usb port erupter[im new] Post by: railzand on July 12, 2014, 09:11:18 PM That's more good advice. pm if you must, but idk anything about mining problems except how to search for helpful threads

Basically whatever hub you use, it has to be powered: 5V 1W must be available for each miner.

Title: Re: Question about usb port erupter[im new] Post by: ranochigo on July 13, 2014, 01:33:22 AM Any more opinions? Find a powered USB hub. You shouldn't expect to ROI anytime soon. The difficulty is increasing too fast and it consumes too much electricity and the price per gh ratio isn't good.Title: Re: Question about usb port erupter[im new] Post by: baranka333 on July 13, 2014, 02:14:11 AM Any more opinions?

How about using online wallet? I probably not the most secure thing on the planet, but it gives you flexible to access your wallet. Back up is pretty important too. I format my computer without back up the wallet, and all my money is gone. That's not gonna happen with online wallet. Blockchain.info, I recommend this one. I use it myself, and it's been a pretty good one. Cheers :) Title: Re: Question about usb port erupter[im new] Post by: baranka333 on July 13, 2014, 04:32:55 AM Thank you, I was waiting like 20 hours to load that wallet,oh ok...

But USB miners as mentioned are not really for anything but fun. Can get a lot more power for your dollar by buying a true miner.
