In case anyone's interested - my rig: http://gvty.co/i/BfKFTQ

Raspberry Pi running it to keep electricity costs down.

I'm waiting on 3 of these 2GH usb's:

If you're looking for a cheap miner just for fun, I would go for the Antminer U2 such as this one : http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-Bitcoin-Overclockable/dp/B00ITD5NV6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1418098493&sr=1-1&keywords=antminer+U2 . They can go up to 2.4Gh/s, which is more than 5 times the 336Mh/s than the one you found for only twice the price. This is what I use and it's pretty neat. I'm sure you can find them for a few bucks cheaper if you shop around.

I recently started with [one of these] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITD5NV6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). For $25 bucks or so you'll get 2 Ghps.

I'm personally mining using the pool BitMinter. They have their own software too so its super easy.

A simple install mining app would be multiminerapp.com ... it has a user interface and what now. I use this with my Antminer U2 USB based miners.

I started out with the U2 USB miner. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00ITD5NV6/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1421524190&sr=8-1&keywords=antminer+u2&condition=used

A newer model would be the U3 miner http://www.amazon.com/Bitmain-Antminer-Bitcoin-Miner-Domestic/dp/B00OQSXMA2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421524228&sr=8-1&keywords=antminer+u3

You might be able to make your money back over time with the U3 miner if you dont take electricity into account (which im assuming your not when u use the word 'hobby')

> Not sure if want , might be fun to have one or two run off of my Raspberry PI, but the drivers might be windows only.

Yes, it can be used with a raspberry pi set up. Might grab one just to try it out and use that fancy affiliate link

I'm new to this, but

why don't people use something like: http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-Bitcoin-Overclockable/dp/B00ITD5NV6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 ?
It is supposed to give rates in GH/s.

u/tmotom · 1 pointr/Bitcoin

Ohh, jeez, you can buy the Bitmain Antminer here.

The smaller ones in between the Antminers are these, but for $10 more, you can get like 5 times the Mh/s with the Antminers. The Antminers are a lot more worth it; I just wanted something to fill in my empty spaces.

The cooling fan is this, but I've got a bigger clamp fan blowing on it so the whole rig doesn't burn my house down. Though, I haven't had much problem with heat. The cooling fan does enough to keep them cool, but when I had no cooling fan, it was hot enough to burn my skin and I found that out the hard way. The clamp fan is just there for insurance.

The Pi is gonna need a 4GB SD card, so make sure you've got a reader for that.

And you're correct. This is the least profitable thing you can do, my setup cost me roughly $150 a month and a half ago, and they've made me $2 worth of Bitcoins (.004 Bitcoin) that haven't even been transferred to me because Slush's pool send threshold is .01 Bitcoin. Though, the whole setup barely puts any strain on my electric bill.

It was fun putting it together and making it work, and it's a great conversation starter, but it has yet to prove me any monetary worth at all. Maybe I can buy something cheap on Overstock in a couple months, or I'll get really really lucky and mine a block.

One of these - http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-Bitcoin-Overclockable/dp/B00ITD5NV6 will probably produce more bitcoins that all those servers together while using much less power (cpu's running at 100% pull more power than when idling)

Mining seems like a great idea, and it's a fun hobby, but it's pretty tricky in effect. Timing is everything, and you have even more uncertainty than just by buying bitcoin and holding.

If you wanted to see what it was about, you could buy a used 2.4 Gh USB miner from Amazon or something. You basically won't make any money aside from a few thousandths of a bitcoin because they're underpowered, but it'll cost you under $30 and you'll get a chance, if you set it up on your own, to start learning about what's going on when you mine. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-Bitcoin-Overclockable/dp/B00ITD5NV6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408408030&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+gh+miner+bitcoin

Also, /r/bitcoinmining is a good place to start on mining info.

u/XenuTheMagnificent · 1 pointr/BitcoinMining

Thats expensive for 2.4 GH/s, thats exactly what im getting on the antminer U2 that I paid under 20 bucks for. I got mine used from amazon. Here is a link amazon I was going to grab a rock miner R-box amazon they go for 70.00 bucks new on amazon and youll get 32-37 GH/s im sure you might be able to find them cheaper, but I was also looking on craigslist and came across some good deals on the older antminer s1 for under 200.00 bucks and it will crank out 200 GH/s. Of course I also found a kcminer neptune, the guy wants 5000.00 for it, and it cranks out a minimum of 3 TH/s. Im just not brave enough nor do I know enough if that is a wise investment. Like you said 200.00 is more palatable, its not going to make or break you.
