    Wanted to know if you mined or had a cool rig to show.

    Currently my rig is horrible but its energy efficient:

    Rasbperry Pi
    USB 3.0 Hub
    2 ASIC USB Bitcoin Erupters

    You could add more USBs overtime and probably break even one day.. I always thought of a system including Solar power it would be expensive but a good idea. I am working on blue prints but I could probably never make it myself.

    But Bitcoins are out of the equation so whats your rigs

    Also what would you suggest for a litecoin rig?

    I want to buy a gen 4 ASIC USB Erupter but gen 5 is coming soon. Its the cheapest price I've seen for a gen 4 erupter yet: $56 sgd.

    Edit: Got a gen 3 for cheap price :3


    What are your opinions?

    Ok I have bought a USB ASIC Block Erupter 3.0 for the price of 16 USD + Travel costs!!! Quite a good buy.

    So how are your mining rigs going. I got plans to make a pool using Python once I get the knowledge.

    I hope that they don't get forgotten about. Try to make websites where you can buy stuff for bitcoins and all this stuff to keep the bitoin market high!

    I just use my gaming pc. After throwing in a 80 plus bronze PSU, I let my 7850 collect the small number of now litcoins that it makes. I used to mine bitcoins until they hit the news and everyone mined them

    How much do you make using your 7850? I've got one too, and I was wondering if it'd be very profitable

    Not much at all any more. More of a hobby now. If you want to earn money, this is not the way to go.

    *Loses Money*

    Well I am currently powering my Raspberry Pi which will hold my ASIC with a Solar Panel. I will store the power in a box while i'm at school and then come home. I think.

    This should stop any money loss other than buying the stuff. Lets see.

    Yes they are energy efficiency and get the job done just hook up a sub hub and some erupters.

    Oh yah probably should have explained that you connect it with a usb hub and then connect the asic block erupters which actually do the mining ti the rasberry pi.
