Usb Miner Erupter For Mac On Amazon

Red Fury Asic Bitcoin Miner Usb. Mining Bitcoin Miner SHA256 ASIC USB Stick Block Erupter 333MH/s. You may have heard that mining on a laptop is a bad idea and can destroy your laptop; this is true.In an effort to build trust with their potential buyers, Halong Mining released videos of their ASICs running as advertised.

A typical USB block erupter will get 333MH/s under realistic conditions. Today, a share is worth about 1/156 of a penny and 333MH/s will get you a share every 13 seconds.

That comes out to 43 cents per day per erupter, not counting the cost of electricity. Difficulty is going up, and thus profitability going down, around 25% per month. So you can figure maybe $11 your first month, $8 your next, $6 the next, then $5, and so on.

You might get about $50 before it becomes more trouble than it's worth. Realizing I'm very tardy to this post, I'd like to throw out this update for those currently googling this question. Background: I purchased 4 erupters back in November 2013- just to run beside my 4x5970s and 3x7950s, it was an experiment and at the time I was pretty new to mining in general. Usage: 4-erupters with 92mm cooling fan and powered-USB hub. I've had a constant 1.3-1.4Gh/s with these USB erupters, peaking at 2.2Gh/s (but that's an anomaly and not constant) I use bfgminer and set them up to run @bitminter. They're super easy to use once you get the drivers set up and understand how to mine. I chose mining @bitminter because it seamlessly allows you to mine namecoin through the same port/pool.

Don't use bitminter's flash miner if you want to mine alt coins with your gpus while going after bitcoin with the ASIC cards (it doesn't play nice if you have wallets running or cgminer working and you'll get a lot of rejects)- but by using a command line miner for sha-256, I can also run guiminer-scrypt or cgminer to hash out alt coins. Conclusion: So is it all worth it? With the 4 erupters running 24/7, @2.5W/ea I use about $0.02/USD of electricity while generating on average $0.12-$0.16 in bitcoin per day. In addition to the BTC, I generated about $0.03 in NMC. Altogether, a daily profit of about $0.15 per day USD. Here's the breakdown as of today: 4xUSB erupters @$14.87/ea + $42.94 (USB Hub & Fan) + S&H = $106.16 Electricity (@$0.0616/kWH) $0.03/day x 98 days = $2.94 Total Expenditures: $109.10 BTC Generated:.03048521 NMC Generated:.09160374 (currently 0.00053247 BTC) Based off of the current NMC exchange rate, my erupters have generated a total of 0.03101768-BTC in under 100 days.

At the current BTC/USD exchange rate of $578.86, I've been able to generate $17.96 USD. So after nearly 100 days of mining with the block erupters, I'm sitting at USD. Good luck to those who still try the USB-ASIC route, I'll be mining DOGE and MINT with the cool kids:D. Pretty much the only real hope is bitcoin going up in price, that is what I'm basing my mining on. Taking the assumption that it goes way up in price there are two options: 1) buy bitcoin, 2) but a miner. In the first instance you will have, 1x your money. In the second instance you will have the 1x plus you will still be generation more coins.

It is all really a gamble on bitcoin going up. If it goes down the in either instance there is a loss. I am prepared to loose all in the hopes that bitcoin will survive.

My guess: If bitcoin survives another year, and I think it will, it will be substantially more valuable.
