i started mining with 2 usb asic for about a day, then i had 6 more come so i have 8 in total. over 3 1/2 days i have had about 4-5 hours down time when i had to change hubs and mess about with the setting. but i have earned the grand sum of $3 about £2  . even though i have used more electric to run them then they have earned i want to buy more . does this amount sound about right. |

Thats right, but you paid more electric to run then what you earn.... might wanna consider stopping it  |

i am using a old dell desktop unit with 2.8ghz and a 19amp power supply for the hubs and a fan with a 5v 4amp power pack, i think i have to look at being more efficient |

Yeah, but that's really little.. going to drop further more after the difficulty hike in about 1.5 days....

It's crazy that people are still paying $1000's on Ebay for asics  I might get me a BlueFury miner when I can afford one, though only as a hobby... |

Hobby mining is really all that is left for most people.

its upsetting to see mining dying and the ASIC chip companies destroying it all  Defiantly a hobby thing now to just make a few dollars to get into BitCoins. i think USB miners are a good gateway into BTC though |

i can see a lot of people start selling of there equipment if the difficulty gets to hard it won't be worth plugging them in. |

No need to turn the miners off yet Yup, if what you get is more then the electricity charges, then its better to just continue mine while selling it on ebay.... |

Are those USB ASICS useless if you don't use them for BTC mining?
I have a Radeon 6950 and a 7770 in my PC and seems I can do about 500.
Obviously no where near as efficient as the USB ASIC but USB ASICs still costs around $25 each. (in Oz at least)
Can these be somehow made for Scrypt mining instead later on?
Seems like BTC mining is now a little too difficult unless you invest a lot which is expensive. =(

You can use those to mine SHA256 alt coins as well.

Imagine though with the increase in price how much that'll be worth in a year..maybe $6!! |
