Hey guys,
not sure this is exactly the right place, but as it is about mining alts I think it might fit.
Does anyone of you guys know about an Asic or Fpga capable of running Cryptonight V1, the algorithm monero used until October 2018 (not Cryptonight V0).
Or do you know someone who might know? I have indirect proof that at least FPGAs exist.
I would be happy if someone could put me in touch with someone who knows or just provide information about the specifications of it (power usage, hashrate, price).
I'm offering
- a reward of 0.1 ETH for verified information about technical specifications
- a reward of 0.5 ETH for any contact to a legit source for that hardware.
Cheers and thanks

USB miner used to be good cos i use it before but don't know what happened and it doesn't give much profit anymore so I ended up abandoning it but people are still using it
The whole point of USB mining is not really about profitability. Its about enabling people that dont have money to buy expensive GPUs/ASICs to just use a spare USB port on their computer and be up and running with just 40 bucks.
Will a 40 dollar investment make you thousands? Probably not, but the whole point is to bring new people into the ecosystem. They learn what cryptos are about, and earn a little bit of crypto while they are at it.
Most people that buy my USB miners dont use them themselves, they gift them to people that would never think about crypto, but its a fun and engaging way to get them into the ecosystem.

before releasing the USB miners who were digging litecoin. now it is not profitable because the computer needs a lot of free ports and their speed is small.
As for me, it's really questionable if one can make profit with USB miners. Use it like a starting point but don't get too serious with it. Surely you may see your reasons here but in my opinion, GPU is more profitable as many people already mentioned here. But if you are determined, read a bit about Dualminer USB ASIC. Probably you'll like it and hopefully it'l bring you some profit.
It seems to me that this idea is not very profitable in terms of making a profit.
Good old miner with GPU no one will replace in the near future

That`s true, at least when you have GPU you can do other stuff too, you can sell it after all, and you will find a buyer. Who use this usb miners, I think this was just a way for someone to earn some money by tricking people to buy something useless. In the end it`s better to buy a coin than to buy a usb miner and try to mine something, you will get more coins with simply buying it.
Are there any USB Stick miners that mine altcoins?
If yes are there any that make at least a little bit profit?
Greetings!

Check out my sig :p
Best response - jstefanop's USB miners and the Apollo podminer are exactly what you're looking for. Accept no cheap copies or compromises ;-) Obviously they won't make you rich overnight, but they will do exactly what they claim to do, which is really as much as you can ask for. Keep up the good work etc!
Where did you even hear about something like that? I first heard about this and did not even think about how to use them to mining coins.

Hmm, if such a device really existed, I would have bought it. The question is what profitability it will have and whether it will be profitable to use it at all.

I was thinking of buying a USB miner three years ago to mine new coins in the market with low difficulty, but after reading a lot of bad reviews and disadvantages I forget the idea and just do bounty campaign and buying coins, GPU is more competitive than USB miner forget USB there are better options.
You are very lucky that you never bought the USB miner cos you would have cried over your wasted money. Am currently using GPU and my friend that bought USB has to join cos the USB he bought was worthless
That's will be very worth compared with USB miners.
I always prefer to get second-hand GPU rather than it. Are there any USB Stick miners that mine altcoins?

I do not think that USB mining will give you more than you pay for electricity. Your phone is more efficient than PC + USB miner.
Try to look for Electroneum if you can´t afford mining on PC.

Dont think that the profit from usbminer product will be large. It is better to invest your money in several standard cards that can then be sold on the secondary market.
There are some of them even for altcoins mining,you can find them by doing a search on Ebay.These devices do not produce any decent amount of a coin even if you have a lot of them.You can work and play with them if you want to learn mining and use it later in real mining devices like Antminers etc.
From findings and few reviews from friends that attempted such, it wasn't a good venture as it is not really profitable and eventually becomes a waste of time, there many other ways to earn in crypto and especially now that we are in bull season, investing in reasonable low valued coins that will likely make 10x is better than such
Mining using USB is just good for educational purpose only which the same been said above but for profitability
or income matters then its an impossible thing for you to generate even a penny.
to your CPU or if you do have multiple USB miners then you would simply connect it on a HUB.Just try to look
their Wattage and compute it on your own.

How to find out mining cost if we are using USB??
Depends or do vary on each place but i dont see to bother up yourself on computing using USB yet these can be connected to your CPU or if you do have multiple USB miners then you would simply connect it on a HUB.Just try to look
their Wattage and compute it on your own.

well well , as far i know , its just bad idea for mining, low hashrate,low profitable , although u want mine some coin with low difficulty, its still not profitable i guess.
maybe not if we still on 2014-2015
