What should i do? (7x usb erupters)

[Pablito89]

Hi guys,
i currently have 2,2gh/s hash rating. I know, it's really low for the actual difficulty but... Help me to choose 1 of these options (u MUST choose 1 of them!!  ):

1) Try to solo mining and maybe get a block in several months (almost impossible)
2) Join a mining pool and get something like 40$/months (excluded costs)
3) Mine different sha-256 coins (like Tigercoins) and hope they get more usefull in the future


Help me please, i really don't know what to do


P.S.
Doesn't exist a 4) option 

P.S. 2
Sorry for my crap english

If you are looking to gamble, you could try solo mining. With 2.2 gh, you would find a block on average in 1,964 days(5.38 years), not factoring in difficulty increases of course. It sounds pretty bad, but when you put it in up against your chance of winning powerball (1:175,223,510) you are looking pretty good.

Hey I mined 2 litecoin blocks in under a week on a 7970, go for the solomining kid, hopefully you'll get lucky!

I vote for option #2.

[balanghai]

Go with SHA256 Altcoins and if possible practice trading. 

[sheebang]

Go for no 2. Aside others I have nine USB assigned to three pools (Test rigs)
Output per pool in the last two weeks was 4 -12 € depending on the pool. So with the right pool you may come out with a better Performance.

Mine on a pool, but choose a merged mining pool. That way you can make 5 - 8 % extra (depending on the pool and the number of merged mined coins) compared to pure Bitcoin mining.
Load balancing is also a good way to to stabilise your mining income.

May I know which load balancing are you referring to? Bandwidth or something else I'm missing?

2, then sell it after you cant even recover your electricity bill.

[klondike_bar]

at this point, you can expect about $2-$5 mined per erupter in the next 2 months before they are obsolete. Unless you plan to keep them as momentos, you may be best to sell them for $15-$25 each

avoid altcoins that use SHA256. most of the market for them is based around pump-and-dump investing as there is little reason to mine/support coins that use the exact same coding (SHA256) as bitcoin but have a fraction of the support.

imagine if any bitcoin pool capable of >100TH pointed at an altcoin using asics. they would obliterate it, and could produce far more than a 51% atttack.

in my opinion, there can/should only be 1 currency based on each coding type:
SHA256 = bitcoin
scrypt = litecoin

You should add a poll, maybe you will be able to record the answers a little easier.

[Dexter770221]

Go for POT on ozcoin. There you will have best of the two worlds. Pool mining combined with luck when solo mining.

[cowandtea]

Mine the hell out of it until it broke.

[Zeek_W]

I'll buy them for 0.05 depending where you are

[Keldel]

2) Join a mining pool and get something like 40$/months (excluded costs)

Maybe look into opportunities to expand your hashrate? Especially if you can do it cheaply.

[hulk]

Sell it before it has no value. Or burn it
