which is the smallest miner?

[ethminer012]

Hi

I'd like to know which is the smallest hardware for mining?
Is it there a portable one?

GPU rigs are quite bulky and there are too many wire connections between them, so they are far from small form factor mining hardware.
ASICs, they are compact, power plug and ethernet connection only. Baikal miner is one compact ASIC miner.

Sapphire Miner with 330 MH/s Hash power

Probably one of the many outdated USB miners.

I met images of miners for bitcoin the size of a matchbox. Well, the farm from the video card

Great!

I've googled for it and found this:

"They have 330 MH/s of hash power which will give you less than $0.01 per month"

How they calculate that!!??
I've been mining with a GPU at 18MH/s and obtained almost 0.02 ETH in 2 or 3 weeks...

You could try one of those external GPU enclosure like the one Razer makes. You just plug your GPU into the enclosure, plug the enclosure into your laptop, then start mining. As far as i know some enclosures are built to accommodate 2 ITX style gpus (single-fans). Was actually considering doing this as well. The only downside i guess is that the eGPU enclosures are fairly new and can be quite costly still.

Or how bout a brand new USB miner that does $10 a month, at about 1/20th the size of a GPU, with 1/20th the power draw?

hmm.. Well you don't say.

Might have to tinker with a few.

The difficulty and algorithm for mining Bitcoin is not the same for mining ETH.

That might profit $2-3/month if you are lucky.

Any of the "USB Stick" miners would compete for smallest - but the only one that has a prayer of achieving ROI at this point is the Moonlander 2.

 If Sidehack would ever get to work on his announced Bitfury project, instead of wasting time on outdated chips from the Bitmain S5 era.....

In fact, I was looking for a portable one, with wifi and battery powered...

Hi ethminer012!!
Nice to read you again!
I saw people in our "research group"  playing with raspberry and arduinos but don't know if arduino has computacional power enough to make a hash.

• 21 Computer (90 GH/s)
• Bitmain Antrouter (5.5 GH/s)
• Avalon Nano 3 (3.6 GH/s)
• GekkoScience (8 GH/s)
• Sapphire Miner (330 MH/z)

Maybe Raspberry (is almost like an old intel 386 with linux running at 700MHz ) but for sure not an Arduino (16MHz clock)
