hey peeps was just wondering if anyone would help me out with some new software an pools to try right now I am using cgminer an mining bitminter hardware is two antminer u2

also I was wondering if there is some way to run a antminer using minercontrol cause I seem to be making more coin with my gpu 750ti then with two antminers

that would be great thank you very much

The reason is that two U2's are not a lot of power.  You could mine for quite a while before you meet minimum requirement to withdraw btc you mine.

I would do math on GPU.  For most anyone it costs more to run a GPU then it makes. 

so how many u2's would I be looking at to meet minimum requirement

U2s are not worth the money. They are expensive, consume a lot of power and they don't provide a lot of hashrate.
Assuming your electricity is free and you want to make 0.01BTC/day, then you would need 500 U2s at current difficulty. This is just a rough example.

It would take quite a few.  Just compare to like a 1T machine and it is not a lot of hash.    It's more of a lotto/learning device.  Unless you happen to be running a ton of them.

ok thanks for the info

so what is the best low powered device as of now an best hash rate

It depends on what you mean by low power.  By very small power you have current gen with U3 it is a good low power device.  Most likely best low power device as of now.

If you go up you can go S5, SP20, Avalon 4.1.  But all of those will take quite a bit more power.   

ok thanks again for all the info
