Is it possible to make 0.06 btc a day with 15 gh/s gekkoscience usb miner on bitminter? Undecided

Absolutely not! even with a Antminer S9 you cant earn $500+ per day.

Yes, a better investment for you will be buying some BTC and keep it. It's a waste of money to buy expensive hardware, paying for electricity and count if you are in profit or loss.

I saw new usb miner gekkoscience, if its useless then why they selling it?

They sell it to separate you from your money and put it in their pockets.

Agree with all posts warning against buying USB miners.  You would do better to take the $60 the gekko 2pac costs and just buy BTC outright and hold it.  USB miners generate 0.01 - 0.02 $USD per day.  That is 1-2 pennies per day at current difficulty.  There are 6000 pennies in that $60, that's how many days it would take to make your initial investment back if the difficulty never changed in that time.  The difficulty will change, it will just take that much longer.  You are better off doubling you investment and buy an old used s5 and mine with that.  You may spend more in electricity than you make but there is a whole lot more noise involved Smiley

Granted..... if you actually found a block solo mining with one of these..... that might be the best BTC story I've heard in a long ass time.

You do know the 2PAC's use chips harvested from the old s5's right? We are now 2 generations past those.
Sidehack's sticks are made for novelty and for solo lotto mining. No one with any knowledge of mining buys them to generate reliable income because they just cannot do it.

USB Bitcoin miners are available to buy, but they don’t really generate any significant profits.

You can some info about USB miners here https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/mining/hardware/usb/

Maybe he meant 0.01USD not 0.01BTC

Use calculators.. When I tried the 15gh/s with free electricity.. It is just $0.02.. But if you are paying electricity and your pc power supply is just 500w.. You will be losing money.

Maybe the first day mining was available to the public this would be possible.. Lol

No. You need specialized mining equipment to make any amount of BTC anymore.

I laugh really hard everytime I see someone advertising their USB mining 'rig'.

Lol.

Man people can be really dumb sometimes. Look at him even after everybody's warning he don't believe. Man use a damn mining calculator and see for yourself. If you really want some btc I suggest you to buy some btc instead of buying the usb miner that way you will be more profitable

You really sound like the type of person that can't afford a single Antminer S9 or any other newer model, so you buy into the overly hopeful hype of a possibly profitable USB miner, when such a thing hasn't been profitable for years now. Stop trolling.

That real but I do not know why people are taking this discussion more further when we know that USB mining is old one and no more profitable option in mining as of now. Nowadays many people mining bitcoins with the ASIC miners like antminer L3+, Avalon, Antminer s9.
Some people still stick with the GPU mining but the largely they mine monero and ethereum only. Even GPU also better option than USB mining.

Not possible to make even 0.01 btc a day? so why then lots of people buying it and they are so positive and happy about gekko science usb miners with 15gh/s Huh it will mine 0.01 btc a day, i will prove it lol.

Please dont forget to post the proof here please so I can rub m eyes in disbelief! People are selling them cause they are useless now, people are buying them because they have made useless research.

No it would not work bro. You have switch to Antminer s7 or s9 to start mine high amount bitcoin dude. Still the you mentioned will not be possible with the combining producing hash rate from the antminer and commercial electricity you gonna use it for mining.
If you still not believe on it, you can find the bitminter's thread in the mining section, you can check their admin, even he will say that it is not possible.

so you think these youtube videos are fake? omg lol! how to fake stats o bitminter while filming? perhaps they are using Adobe After Effects software to fake it? Cheesy videos made this year. USB miner in which im interested is new gekkoscience with 15gh/s which will make me only 0.01/0.02BTC a day! If you are so sceptic wait till Christmas and I will share my earning stats here Smiley

I think youtube is about the silliest thing going these days.  Yes there are some useful how to videos such as how to properly light a cigar and PragerU.

But there is no way in the world your going to make .01 BTC ($69 USD) per day with 15Ghs.  I have 74 USB BE's 1 Jalapeno and two 800Ghs Monarchs which are all shut down because their not worth the electricity to run them.  If I were to make anywhere close to .01 BTC per day, or even per week, I would be running them.

But please do let me know how make out by Christmas time.

Have fun.
