is it true that you can mine shit with these things
It's an ASIC, it's good for bitcoin ONLY. However bitcoin is so difficult to mine now even those are useless.
If you're not mining at least 1TF you need to take a breather

>shitcoin only
do I really need to buy 20 700$ graphics card to mine?
>>61079349
Yes, and fuck you for driving up the price of GPUs. Just wait for Ehtereum ASICs you bumble fuck. God I fucking hate crypto miners.
>>61079236
only if you have 20000 of them
i don't know
>>61079236
Be careful, most of them are just a bunch of resistors with a random IC (usually a broken SoC or flash memory) that's shorted out to heat up when plugged in and rest is just a USB controller reporting a device ID.
The software does mine but it uses your CPU/GPU and checks if it's plugged in, it even handicaps, so if you use more it will lesser the handicap so it will look like it's actually doing better with more of them plugged in.
>>61079236
literally which is worse... crypto miners or audiophiles?

>Just wait for Ehtereum ASICs
incompatible/not possible

audiophiles at least won't crash consumer GPU market, even if they tried.
so cryptoniggers it is.
>>61079236
I think you can mine 1 cent a year. It's a good start nonetheless.

>driving up the price of GPUs.
this is AMD/Nvidia colluding to drive up the market price of GPUs.
fagcoin faggots have nothing to do with it.
entirely because they got caught lying about their performance and were reprimanded for it.

This is the most retarded thing that i have read today.
You will never make a profit with these. You're 5 years too late.

"Application-specific integrated circuit"
APPLICATION SPECIFIC
MEANING IT DOES ONE FUCKING THING WELL
SO IT ONLY MINES ONE SPECIFIC FUCKING COIN
god damn you /v/ fags are stupid
