There's altcoins for SHA256d and Scrypt which both have USB sticks miners.

You have to take into account that the speed of these devices are quite slow related to its prices so... i would choose another asic that cost a little bit more and get more hashing speed

Futurebit Moonlander (I think I got the full name right) is a USB Scrypt miner using the Alcheminer chip. It's advertised on the forums here somewhere.
Don't think anything else is available at this time other than older, less efficient USED gear, and MAYBE a pre-order "does it really exist at all?" X11 stick miner.

not profitable anymore, you should have bought the one from batch 1 for asix x11 that was the one with the faster roi, now going to scrypt or whatever will require you 3 months if no more plus add the diff increase and you're done, no roi ever

This means that you'll have to keep on mining 24/7 for 10000 days before you can even withdraw your coins at current diff...

Didn't I say that, I won't mine "Bitcoins ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) " Maybe, just maybe... If you keep an eye on the altcoin announcement thread, and you start mining every new sha256 coin that hits the market untill the diff starts to rise, maybe you'll get lucky one day and mine a couple of coins that rise enough to ROI. But, it's a longshot TBH. BTW: those 333Mh/s sticks usually cost almost as much as a gekkoscience compaq... But this compaq can be overclocked to 23 Ghs, meaning it can be up to 69 times faster for almost the same price ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I would just probably "test" it out. Difficulty for that coin is at the moment kinda low, calculator said $100 Weekly what actually is like "non-sense" ..

Make sure you don't switch Mhs, Ghs and Ths... you are talking about a 333 Mhs stick... In coinwars, the standard hashrate is expressed in Ghs, meaning that you'll need to enter 0.333 to make a calculation to find out how much you'll mine. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to mine $100/week with 333 Ths of mining power for almost all tradable altcoins on the market today... with 333 Mhs, i think it won't be possible. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
