Title: Best hardware to mine all types of cryptocoins? Antminer S3+ 453 GH/s Post by: menagear on February 06, 2015, 04:42:09 AM If I were to buy a Antminer S3+ 453 GH/s, will I be able to mine all types of coins? (bitcoin obviously, litecoin, dogecoin etc?)

(bitcoin obviously, litecoin, dogecoin etc?) LOL Be nice - LOL. No - the Antminer will only mine SHA-256 coins (like Bitcoin). Litecoin is a Scrypt coin - requiring a different type of ASIC.

(bitcoin obviously, litecoin, dogecoin etc?) S3 - Only if you are getting at cheap price and power is either free/ dirt cheap. S5 - Latest sha256 Asic but you can only mine sha256 coins like Bitcoin and it won't work with LTC, DOGE etc. For LTC , DOGE and other Scrypt coins , you need Scrypt-Asic.

The s3+ may also be a good option for those staring with bitcoin, it doesnt require too much investment Title: Re: Best hardware to mine all types of cryptocoins? Antminer S3+ 453 GH/s Post by: monkeygang on February 11, 2015, 04:01:13 AM I thought it was basically useless to mine btc for begginners. Because of difficulty etc. wouldnt it be easier to straight up buy bitcoins.
and less on electricity costs or something? Title: Re: Best hardware to mine all types of cryptocoins?

Because of difficulty etc. wouldnt it be easier to straight up buy bitcoins. Not really useless, plus people like to mess with things. If you just buy bitcoins there's not much fun on thatand less on electricity costs or something? An antminer s3+ for 100-110 shipped might recover the initial investment Title: Re: Best hardware to mine all types of cryptocoins?

An antminer s3+ for 100-110 shipped might recover the initial investment what do you mean by "might" like it would become obsolete before it paid for itself.. or depending on the coin you mine with it?

It also depends a lot on your electricity costs Title: Re: Best hardware to mine all types of cryptocoins?
