They did a good job of making it work with regular USB drives.  I think it is a little better built as far as most USB drives, they estimate around 30 year's which mean's it has a lot of writes till device start's to fail.

It is a small form factor I need to take a few more pictures to show lanyard on it.  It is much harder to lose with included lanyard or key chain which both are included.

It uses a different way  to offer protection.  If computer is infected it's possible that it might get the PIN.  With this you could view inside if Ledger Nano was in computer, it would need it to be connected to infected computer.  This is why I mention I would use a different PIN then wallet's with LCD where it randomizes numbers where when you click on screen a infected computer has no idea what is being clicked.

But it still could not send even if PC was infected and had the PIN.  When sending you need to have the security card.  It will ask challenge question that if you don't have the card you would not be able to send. Part 4 if you click on that image it show's this being used.

Also with Ledger Nano if you enter PIN 3 times wrong, it erases wallet.  So if stolen or lost it cannot be brute forced on the PIN.  You can recover it with seed words if you accidentally did it yourself.  

As far as recovery same as any other ones.  You can get a new one and recover it from the 24 seed word's you get during the Ledger start creating a wallet.  As mentioned above you write down in Recovery Sheet.  You MUST do that step as it allows you to recover it.  

This is why Recovery Sheet should be stored safely it is the same as other hardware wallets in this aspect.

My plan it to do more, but I currently don't have any others on order.  I still have a few features I would like to cover in ones I already have.  If you or anyone has a suggestion for one feel free to let me know I can't promise I can do them all but I don't mind requests.

The Ledger Starter is a offline OS so you won't be able to send from it.  You can create a new wallet, recover a wallet, or delete a wallet.   

It does work with the Chrome extension.  You need it to do an update when you get it.  But after you do have a choice of many different wallets that can use Ledger Nano.

There is none that is why this thread is half a joke.  Who want's to buy old gen chip miners and pay BA for hosting?  No one want's this.

I would be very surprised if people jump on this, I think it screams avoid me.

Thank you! Possibly in the future.  I still have a few features I feel I have not touched on with current one's.  I really do plan on using that expansion space.  

VPS mining really was short lived.  You have to remember how fast this industry moves.... people see a way to mine on VPS and you can go so easy it is a mixture that explodes on coins.   Only a free trial will you make anything now, and it will be small earnings most likely.

Old day's you could go to to multiple sites and set up one and make money... but did not last long.  Most of the "bargin" VPS hosts do NOT want miners they use up much more resources then normal client.  So some even lock account's that mine these day's.  But that is the "bargin" ones so you get what you pay for.

But again unless free trial you will make nothing.  And free trial chances are very little you make.  I have not CPU mined in a long time as money is just not there anymore.

I would go with exchange as well.  It will be more work the first time you use it.  But it's nice later on that you have it all set up and is easy to use.

Faucet time is just to slow.  You will waste a lot of time if you go this route.   But some do it.

It would require the correct sell I don't think any other way he will ROI.  But that is becoming more and more popular.

He mentioned AC cooling.  This is going to kill profit even more depending on how many but cooling with AC is the most expensive way to do it, and is not recommended.

You can't fit 100 percent of them into that catagory. Sadly yes a lot are scams... it's sad but true.

But what about hashnest?  I think they are ok personally, I could be wrong but I think most would agree with me on that.  So just make sure you know where your investing before you do it.

Look at specs: "30-40% less power (around 0.6-0.7W/Ghash at the wall)" that is pretty crappy now day's.  So they have at least a gen old chips running these "new" machines.

Also "We will not be shipping this miner out of China. For foreign customers, in order to use this miner we will be hosting it in our data centre".... so for everyone out of china you will be paying to host in their data center and they make money on data center.... so quite horrible on that.

I would be surprised if anyone want's this gear even considering who it's from.

Very intersting don't think I've seen a trunk quite so full of miners.  Is there a story behind? Big buy?

Anyways thanks for sharing pic!

S5's run hot and loud they are really not for quiet places unless a cold ambiant.  His S3 he mentioned he will be able to get pretty quiet.  It is a little dated but I guess if 0 electricity cost that does not matter as much.

But I still would think twice before I mined in dorm's.  I just don't think it's worth it for limited power and space. 

I killed one S3 long ago.  Ever since I have not updated unless big feature or security flaw.   

It just is not worth the risk in most cases.   So I cant really say they didn't or did work for me... as I am just not using them in most cases.

My Avalon 6's are running in the cold today.  It was low to mid 30's F so pretty cold.  It did not seem to effect my mining.  I think biggest effect is voltages as far as speed.  I know the rumor about hotter running faster... with this cold and I'm getting my normal I'm not totally sold on that one anymore.

BTC value has went up aswell.  Some bought when it had a lower value.  So if they waited it would have been better there aswell.   But we had no way of knowing going from like 230 to 400 or so would happen that soon.  Best bargin was when it hit around 500 that one day as price was still varible I think they got best price (could have changed after drop).

Now it seems they do a fixed price in BTC so value of BTC is not near as much of a factor.

You can go even cheaper.  I can't find exact one I bought quickly but was like - http://www.ebay.com/itm/39cm-USB-2-0-A-Female-to-2-Dual-USB-male-Hub-Power-Adapter-Y-Splitter-cable-Cord-/141745213314 .   For less then 2 bucks you can get one that works, only thing is shipping is slow so takes advance planning.

But you can go pretty cheap and it works just fine.

Thank you for posting .   I enjoy doing these.  I do plan on expanding a few of them a little more.    I'm glad that people enjoy reading them. 

This latest set of hardware wallets has been fun to try and compare them.

Hobby miners do have the advantage though over home.  Able to do larger amount of watts, and also most hobby use 220/240 so that is a decent advantage when getting new gear and PSU's.   A good server PSU is less then a nice ATX almost always.

Home miners do have the advantage during winter of using them to heat a house, but some miners are loud so just varies.  I think we will see more go to hobby size or very little at home.  Not sure 100 percent which way the market will go.
