You can buy it if you want to try your luck

Not even that, the only reason why would someone buy Nerdminer is just probably just to "learn" a few things about BTC mining, as far as luck goes, there is just no chance in heaven that a single Nerdminer would hit a block, with that hashrate it would be almost impossible to register on the pool you mine to if it doesn't allow super low difficulty, probably only a pool or two that would do that.

I never heard of NerdMiner I searched a bit and found their open-source code link below

- https://github.com/BitMaker-hub/NerdMiner_v2

You can build it and it supports multiple hardware units but it seems it's not using ASIC chips that's why the hash rate is very low compared to a USB ASIC miner(Compac F).

And it seems you can't mine on a known solo pool like Ckpool due to its low-difficulty share but they listed pools that support this miner.

This is awesome as a project but you won't make any profit. However, it seems they are planning to use ASIC in the future.

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.

You can buy it if you want to try your luck but I do not think it is worth it at all. According to my findings, it is for solo mining but the hash rate is just 56KH/s. If you want to mine, you need hardwares that can generate TH which is a million or more times powerful in hash rate generation. Get yourself Bitmain Antminer that can generate at least 100 TH/s and join a mining pool.
