Recently My Meta Feed was with these USB Mining. They were promoting this by highlighting current Block rewrds 3 BTC.
So If I wants to own this only for a lottery purpose is it worth it. Or traditional lottery has the more chances of winning than this small bitcoin miners to hit a valid BlockHey We have several lottery miners we have even those small lucky miners like here :
https://oneminers.com/collections/all/products/bitaxe-lucky-miner-1-2-th-s running. (BTW bittaxe can be assembled by anybody with different names it is OK. It is just open source plat-forma common naming as it is best sounding. So if you know soldering you can solder one home.
And one day we were so happy it showed - block found. And nothing and also as we had about 20 running at the same shelf and made them working also on other coins the same story.
They show block found. (We celebrate - but just false alarm

) So there is very hard to prove if it works. The IT guys would tell you yes I checked hashrate I checked that and that . But in reality it might end up with stupid thing in the end and with error in settings and so. -- I want to note that it was not me setting them up but general IT enthusiasts . And there you usually are . So probability that you would win is very small and that you have to multiply with probability of correct settings and you get it.
But anyway it is nice to have it and it brings you closer to understanding of bitcoin. It is nice present and I give you hope . In the last year :
There was a block mined by smaller miner -- not sure who is it or if lottery miner. But it has such pattern that it could be one of the small solo miners as it is not part of any big pool.
If you want to get real money go get machines at home where you have super low rate for electricity or buy machines on hosting -- just make sure you are buying real machines at Oneminers - (The only hosting that did not cheated me - I use them for more than 2 years ). Or just hold BTC that you buy at Kraken (the only exchange that was not hacked and did not steal my money - I use it for 10 years) and wait for price jump. No other way around basically those are only two sustainable options. It is not casino, it is not Magic investment fund and magic AI or not AI bot that would turn your money in thousands of percents. It is long run.
And always keep your money in your wallet. Hardware like Trezor
https://trezor.io/ or on phone wallet OneKey:
https://onekey.so/ .. (Yes I lost already many coins due to doggy wallets during last 10 years So this is for now SAFE path. I shall write book about it

.
Really just stay away also here from people promoting Casino, Tokens, and services without REAL people behind and magic returns .
