1  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Mining with thin clients profitable? on: April 04, 2014, 10:50:45 AM
Okay, thanks for the answers everyone!

Mabey it will be better with somethinge like a raspberry pie and add USB ports and go for USB-errupters? (USB hub with its own power source ofc)

It would be more profitable, but you'd have to mine altcoins (most likely through a multipool) in order to reach ROI on block erupters. Mining isn't currently a particularly profitable business to get into without substantial capital, AFAIK.

However, if you're looking into mining to learn more about how bitcoin works (like me), a Raspberry Pi with a block erupter or two would be a good way to get started with ASICs.

Thank you for your answer!

Well, this seems really hard to make money through... I thought it would be as easy as just buying USB hubs with alot of erupters, join a pool and bitcoins will slowly but steadily roll in... I guess i was wrong :/

Hello, i'm really new to this mining thingy but I was just woundering; Can it be profitable to mine with only thin clients? Like if you make a big "cluster" of them?

If it works, will it be super slow?

Thanks in forehand Smiley
