I haven't looked much into bitcoin mining was more thinking ETH mining again.
You asked in the bitcoin mining section though, so let me help you by putting this thread in the right place.Quote

BTC/XBT mining forget it unless your rig is the size of a football stadium. That ship sailed a looooong time ago. As indeed it did for ETH unless you've got 20 1070s lined up running hot.
Back to topic...mining through USB, even funky 3.0 to my mind isn't doable.

I've been mining Eth for a while now, done really well, turned a 250% profit, I don't pay for electricity apartment does. I haven't looked much into bitcoin mining was more thinking ETH mining again. I don't know if I have the money to compete in the bitcoin world. Open to info on both tho please!
Graphic card mining became redundant with bitcoin mining many years ago, and virtually all mining hardware works through some form of USB communication, but often with a custom USB connection and hardware to go with it.
Mined my ETH on a GTX970, sold some and did ok, so don't agree with this (edit - you mean GPU not doable for Bitcoin, agreed). Down to luck, watching the coins and timing. Still worth doing GPU mining.

Besides Ant USB miners, is there a way to connect graphics cards to a USB? perhaps through something like a riser but instead of connecting to PCIe just connects into the USB slot? Anything like that out there? Could you theoretically have one machine run 10 cards all usb with a few different power supplies?
