Mining litecoin with usb miners

[Regolin542]

Can i mine litecoin with usb miners like e.g. GekkoScience

[RussIT99]

I don't think you will make a lot of money but for fun , yes

[amrulshare]

yes, you can be mining litecoin with USB miner. But it will not be profitable and waste your time, if you want to seriously mine litecoin why do not you buy a better hardware and make it more profitable

[Dlikrot]

It’s not a learning process anymore, because the big miners are almost plug and play. Buy the ones that have capacity to actually make profit

[blevotron]

you probably can but outcome will be  disappointing 

[imesh4you]

how

[mittooss]

Yes you can do but you won't be able to make much profit from it.

[min1217ac]

Yes, you can do it. It doesn't need more space and very safety than ASIC or mining use GPU. But your profit small than use ASIC or GPU mining.

[peteris-apse]

at what point those usb miners where profitable? can anyone point me in some blog articles?

No. GekkoScience are for sha256 although there are other usb miners that can

[jhon_rambo25]

Yes, you can be mining with GekkoScience and have lower power consumption

• 15+gh/s mining speed
• 31-.35 watts per gh!

But you have lower profit

Can you tell me what other miners will be good? I'm beggining my adventure with cryptocurrencies ;d

Everyone is completely missing the point.

The Gekkoscience Compac and 2Pac are strictly SHA256 miners. It isn’t possible to mine Litecoin, which is a scrypt currency, with the sticks.

One Scrypt USB miner is the Futurebit Moonlander 2, which has sold out but would be what you would want to look at if you want a Scrypt stick. Keep in mind these are mainly lottery mining units or collectibles and you won’t be making hundreds from them.

You won't earn anything with a USB miner. Only buy one if you feel comfortable with throwing your money away on lottery tickets.

[Mr_Snipes]

You can try to preorder moonlander 2 if you just want to play around a bit.
Theres a thread about it in this altcoin-section.
It is a scrypt asic miner. But as said by others: it is not making a (fast) roi.

With SHA256 miners you mine SHA256 coins (BTC, BCH, PPC,...)
With Scrypt miners you mine Scrypt coins (LTC, DGB, DOGE,...)

In order to really get some money out of mining, you just HAVE to invest a little more. So a GPU rig or a powerful ASIC would be your best bet.

[nogoodcoin]

This was a very old mining type. But you can not mining like that anymore, because the difficulty of Litecoin has increased a lot. It will not be a profitable venture for you.

[QuintLeo]

Litecoin pricing has increased enough that the old Gridseed GC3355 based miners MIGHT be profitable again - if your cost of electric is SUPER low.
The Moonlander and Moonlander 2 ARE profitable, though the original needs semi-cheap electric to be making money.

 ROI is a different issue - but if you already HAVE the miners and they are profitable, might as well use them.
