Hi and new to mining

[johnjohn]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say hi, long time reader and a first time poster.

Although I've been trading and done some CPU mining, I've never bought an ASIC. Now I kind of want to give it a try, mostly for fun.

There seems to be a lot of buzz surrounding the Antminer U1. I'm sure it's too late and too expensive to get any sort of ROI, but I'm still curious and would like to give it a shot for learning purposes.

I'm assuming the fork of cgminer will work with the U1. So I guess I can mine a variety of altcoins with it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, that is all. Cheers!

Mining is nonsense. I wanna make a new coin avoid nonsense mining activities.
