Topic: Mining on Raspberry Pi using ASICMiner Block Erupter USB's? (Read 874 times)
I do not know how long it will take for you to recoup the costs. The complexity of bitcoin calculations is now very high. Only ASIC can get good income.

Is this a viable option for me?
Only if you want to learn about mining works. Quote
should I use a better usb miner?
You're highly unlikely to ever make a profit from USB miners. You need a machine that runs hundreds of times the number of chips on the USB miner, that is a current generation chip.Quote
What would the return rate be?
You'd lose money in all likelihood, and never get a return on the cost of the Pi+ hardware + power.
These USB sticks are cheap for a reason - they're old and outdated.
Hey everyone, I am trying to get in on the Bitcoin CRAZE. I have a few Raspberry pi's and would like to setup a little experiment using a few ASICMiner Block Erupter USB's. How would I go about doing this?
