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
|
The main key to success is in the value of assets that are getting more valuable. Recommended Crypto Trading platform Binance.com

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

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.

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

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 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.

So what other coins can you mine I really wouldn't like to buy another gpu 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.

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.

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.
