News from Bitmain:

S5 is sold out...
S4+ is sold out...

Please wait the official announcement for any new hardware.

At the moment, U3 is the only miners in stock




So... this means if you were looking for bigger you are lookig at used.  Or wait till next gen (whenever that is ). 

Yeah I think OP should grab something used depending on budget.  Dont get a U3, they are horribly inconsistent and require alot of power cycling from what ive seen.  R-Box, S3, S5, SP20 are all decent plug and mine capable machines.. it all just comes down to budget

Most of the ASIC miners in the past year have been very easy to setup... Spondoolies, Bitmain, Avalon. You just set them up via a computer or mobile device and the onboard software does the rest.

Of course some people endlessly fiddle around with them but it's completely unnecessary these days.

Available soon for ~$25, a USB StickMiner that's got plenty of oomph at relatively low power draw: GekkoScience BM1384 Project Development Discussion.  Also see reviews thread.


As far as USB miners this is what you want to get.   Lots of options on frequency on how hard you push it.

There are bigger all in ones aswell just depends on what your looking for.

Hey,
Looking for a reasonably priced "Plug and Mine" miner For those of us who are not "Technically" able to setup the more detailed pieces or miners. Smiley

I have been out of the BTC loop for a while due to health issues and was looking for a basic miner (Doesn't matter the speed) that is capable for Plug and Mine.  I don't want to study Mathematical Equasions and stuff to mine lol

I used to use Asic Usb miners in a 10 port setup which was pretty easy and i always used them to solo mine.

Can anyone point me to a Nice reasonably priced setup that i can just point at a pool or just solo mine with without a degree in Math? lol

Thanks!
