i wouldnt mind playing around with a few u3..i dont have the money to sink into newer equipment...hence me still running s3's. a chance is a chance..not worth mining per share anymore...in my humble opinion..unless you are banking a ton of speed.

Get a compac from sidehack and novak the Gekko fellas before getting a U3. My opinion is it is a much better product, you cnanot beat the price of $25.00 and the support here on the forum is fantastic. I have 5 and at the moment my best 3 shares showing are 17.9m, 27.1m, and 11.3.77m which I hope is 11 billion and just happens to be the way it is displayed in cgminer, but not sure.
I just enjoy tinkering with anything fun, and almost anything with power running through it and a flashing light is killa fun. It doesn't beat sex, but it is a great way to spend time while you recharge Tongue

Careful with the U3s.

They're really hit or miss. If you do get any of them, immediately replace the power supply and USB cables. Recognize though that even after doing so they might still zombie on you pretty often.

Don't get a U3.

What he said. That's a better answer than mine. They really aren't worth it!

I'd say they are but on 2 conditions:

1. You're willing to spend no more than $25-50 on mining hardware.
2. You're fine with replugging it every now and then because it will stall.

Otherwise you'll be better off buying a faster model, maybe a used one. Also it doesn't make sense to buy more than 1-2 U3 because of their GH/$ ratio.

I have a U3 sitting on my desk that hit a 33 billion share the other day. I took a screen shot before I had to reboot the laptop. http://imgur.com/lFmFqI2

Cool. I'm also running this thing and my best share's been around 200M so far.

I cant complain, I only have 4 antminer s3 mining solo when they are not being rented..My best share was 2 months ago at 33 billion. Which that amazed me, since ive rented many many TH and havent come close to that...lol...

A guy solved a block solo a few months ago with an S3 when difficulty was 51G. My S3+ is still solo lottery ticket scratching, my best ever is only 1.9G. Sad

I think it would be pretty freaking amazing if somebody just happened to fire up good old minerd on his work laptop to show mining to somebody at work and they hit a block. Chances of it happening? Infinitesimally small. Look on the guy's face if it happened? Priceless!

The cost pricefull

(CPU mining power cost is millions of times the expected return)

Currently at 30MHs ... ignoring difficulty changes Cheesy

...
Average Time per Block: 120,504,139days 21hr ...
Now to CPU mine for 120 million days ... would cost a lot.

Is there still any CPU mining program to mine on solo.ckpool? Undecided

I'd like to try my luck. There is no enough RAM at my working laptop to crunch BOINC-related tasks during working time, but I guess CPU mining will be OK. Wink
