help with USB bitmain miner | Bitcointalksearch.org

Are you really thinking mining bitcoin with USB miner?

Those bitmain antminer have a max 2.2GH/s (overclocked).

3 x 2.2 = 6.6GH/s

Those will be plugged into your computer.

If you have free electricity, you can make around 3$ in 1 YEAR! (depends on how price goes, etc etc)
But i guess you don't have free electricity, so you will get a loss instead of profit.
According to this article: (https://www.griffith.edu.au/sustainability/sustainable-campuses/sustainable-initiatives/energy/average-computer-energy-usage), "An average desktop computer has a power usage of between 80 and 250 watts, depending on graphics cards and additional peripherals.".
I mean my PSU has 750W (of course it can deliver 750W, it's not using them all), but i'm probably using around 400W-500W.
But let's follow the article, and even if you are using only 80W and if you pay $0.10 per KW/h, your loss would be around $-67.22.

Does it worth? Nah it doesn't. You're reducing the life of your computer components for nothing.
