Of course, all the other conditions, namely efficiency at the hash machine and price of production factors (electricity, miners), have to be accounted for to prospect a true economic return.
That's the thing I was trying to point out, maybe it got the wrong way and emphasis on a different thing but none of those devices will ever make sense economically matter how you pack them or to what other thing you glue them to, and people should really stop treating them as miners and look at the cost and revenue. Those are more like toys or collectibles or the stuff you buy out of curiosity, I don't think anyone plans to go into the printing business with a 30$ machine or bake goods for its bakery with a single microwave.
It's a fun thing, and it does its job but to be completely honest if it were about learning only I would advise everyone to simply buy an old miner that goes for the same price as those USB miners and explore that since for $40 you can still get a running S9. You don't need to keep it running 24/7 if you're only learning, and you would deal with a real ASIC, not to mention all the experience gained when that 5yo miner starts to give errors, disconnect, reboot, and lose power all by himself
Pretty much depends on what you want to do and what you want to learn from it.
My idea is ASIC Bitcoin mining farms can install those Nerdminer equipment and do mini solo mining to try their luck. I believe it does not cause any big cost on those big mining farms.

Analyzing cost and benefit, I see it is worthy for big ASIC mining farm operators to try with NerdMiner.

Oh forget the thread, did you read the FIRST paragraph? The one with
