Miner for beginner

[picolo]

I am looking for a miner for my husband for Christmas. He is very curious to see how the process works. He really isn't concerned about making any money. I was thinking about spending about $100. Thoughts?

Maybe a usb miner or two, just for fun. Part of the fun of mining is learning and doing your own researches which he will get to do later on.

Bitcoin miner might be nice but I would say go with a scrypt miner if you really want to learn. Gives more options to test different coins out and playing markets and what not. Can probably get a gridseed blade for around 100 now and that is more than enough to mine some of the crappier coins out there.
