Thinking of plugging some into my work computer... heheheh

And look here for a list of now and then stick miners

toptek has pointed you at the best one around.

as a suggestion use a y cable as it is easier on the pc's ports wait for link.

this will allow you to clock higher and to not over heat the ports.


with no fan you can do freq 200 with this cable.

Thank you, toptek!

Sha no doubt go with sidehacks compacs.  You will enjoy it and you can OC them to where no other stick miner touches them.

On scrypt it would be:
What about this lketc miner here - http://lketc.com/goods/show-1193.aspx
Here is full review.  http://www.cybtc.org/article-40-1.html

But I have not seen a ton of it on the forum.  It is mainly Chinese market on that scrypt stick.

100% agree with sidehacks compacs.  Just bought the usb miner, awesome.  Allows for solid over clocking IF you have the cooling capability and if you don't at 150 Mhz it runs pretty cool.

That is a cool setup!!

I might have some fun news regarding a scrypt based USB miner soon

[highaltitude20322]

are the usb miners still profitable or are they more just for fun these days?

The USB miners will be mining in the positive, however the odds are low you would see an ROI.

IMO they are the PERFECT! PERFECT, miner for a hobby miner / lottery miner.

Get the S7 if you want ROI, IMO.

[sidehack]

For most people, the S7 has about the same odds of turning positive as a stickminer does.

You will need to have decent power, most use a powered hub to get this.  Also use a Y-USB connetor ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/221661361513?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ) Allows twice the power as 1 usb cord would.

Use the compac-cgminer and it's pretty simple from there.  I would suggest a little fan if you are doing this to push air.

I got tips from the others you may try avalon 4.1 with low power cost... Usb for now is not profitable ur you wait for a long time...

I am mining with an antminer U2
I am not sure if 80 years will be enough to ROI...
and I do not count electricity cost.
And i'm be serious saying this.

u2 = 2gh

with 0 power cost it should earn about 1.50 usd by the end of 2016

sidehack stick = 13.5 gh

with no power cost it should earn about  9 usd by the end of 2016

I'm closer at 1.5gh

should I overclock, without fan?

A u2 can do freq 225 but will need a fan
Sidehacks sticks can do freq 400 but will need a fan

The u2 is hotter the sidehacks stick so if you oc use a fan.

[sidehack]

About 10 stock up to about 50 if you're really pushing it. 20-25GH should be doable with a 1A port.
