Does anyone else have an unhealthy altcoin addiction? lol.

I sit around and F5 the ANN page all afternoon.... And it's not like I am a power miner. I mine on my AMD FX 3.6ghz. So I get like 25khash/s.

But still I can't get enough mining...

Can something like http://www.amazon.com/Bitmain-Antminer-Block-Erupter-1-6Gh/dp/B00HIUIGDI/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1390317369&sr=1-4&keywords=asic be used for altcoins?

Yeah I like the altcoin also. I setup my computer at 430KH/s then my brothers machine at 3 MH/s and then we both got into trading on CEX.io (buy low sell high GH/s) this stuff is better than playing games.

well everyone starts small, i wouldnt be surprised if you reached 50mhs in a couple of months. Smiley crypto is like the new gold rush, we're lucky we got in at the right time. Smiley

That stick can only be used for sha-256 algo coins.
Most alt coins are scrypt which is best mined with a gpu.

I'd recommend HD7950 or R9 290 to start with. They're pretty cheap for their performance.

I've invested over $100k in capital and over $20k in electrical costs to mining this part year.  I'm about to sink another $200k in my farm and expect to double my costs again.  Addicted?  Naaaaaaahh!
