I would like to set up a setup with BTC miners as our friend has in the champion post.
Can anyone help me by indicating what I need to buy and where, because the sites I'm looking for are all sold out for usb mining products.
I would like to use GekkoScience NEWPAC usb with Raspberry Pi 4 with linux installed, would that be the best option to start?
Thanks if you can help me.
@Sledge0001 is a celebrity now. Even in local language newspaper, these miner images are there.
Hahaha. Lucky should be my name.
I really want to thank everyone on the forum for their support and guidance.
Particularly thank you to the following:
-CK <-- Your pool has changed my world and wallet balance forever.
Kano <-- Your software and guidance was invaluable.
SideHack <-- You evil genius your hardware although small was extremely effective.
Willi9974 <-- I used the funds won from one of your block parties to buy the hardware
419Mining.com <-- Seller of the Compac F's
AsicPuppy.com <-- Seller of the Compac F's
I chose to share it was me for a few reasons:
1. Why shouldn't I share my success with others? I'd love to see you all hit.
2. Share the fact that you can still get lucky on the ever growing Bitcoin Blockchain even as a small or in my case micro solo miner. I am hopeful that this brings more small miners into scene.
3. Draw attention to smaller pools. It's a shame there are a few "big" pools out there that dominate most of the mining.
4. Yes I hit on a USB Miner Stick. I had 9 GekkoScience Compac F's (all overclocked) running cgminer on a HP Omen machine (That was also mining ETH at the time) hence the name "The Omen"
5. The 86TH that was seen on my account was mostly rented hashpower from Nicehash that had stopped prior to me finding the block. To be clear no rented hashpower was used to mine this block.
6. My entire USB Mining Farm consists of about 8.2TH - 9.3TH. The Omen had about 3.65TH of that at the time of finding the block.
7. I wanted to share the images of my setup and cgminer to show indisputable proof of what had transpired. (I too would be ultra skeptical if someone told me they hit like this on a USB stick miner).
Now because I hit big should I give up now? Nah... I am still mining with ALL my USB Stick miners as you can see here: https://solo.ckpool.org/users/3EoqjNmeaaVvVDCPbVXxQQRH6UFpDUqpPg
Again thank you all.
