I'm looking to get back into mining in 2024 and was considering NerdMiner as a an option to get started with.
What are peoples experiences with USB miners and small miners like this?
Is this a waste of money, should I be looking elsewhere?
It is beyond a waste of money.
Buy a usb stick from geckominers.
https://altairtech.io/product/gekkoscience-compac-f-200g/ here is 1 seller $189 and 200gb and burns 10 watts or so
you item is 50 and 50kbs and burns 3 watts or so.
the gecko is 20,000 times the power.
If you live in the USA I would hook you up with an s9 modded to run 1 board at 300 watts it would act as a small fairly quiet space heater.
I have a thread on it some where.
