how many coins on average do you say you mine with these suckers per week? I am looking for a way to get spending money.

Not much, these machines only mine a small amount of Bitcoin these days at high electrical consumption. Maybe 1-2 Bitcoin a month if you have about 14

Right now I'm mineing with Eligius (a mining pool) and getting .0028 BTC/Day with a 200GH/s rig. That number will change depending on the network difficulty. While I've been mining the difficulty has only went up. Here is a neat calculator: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator .Also this things network card is also an SSH server. I've been using it as a bojanked vpn server when I'm web surfing at Tim Hortons.

Dont do it. You will use way more power than it is worth. Mine BTCD. bitcoin dark. that will barely break even on power consumption. Now if you need a nice paperweight or door stop, by all means!

An S1 will make about .004 BTC a day or so if you are in a good pool. that is about .12btc a month. BTC prices are down now but they will go back up. You will make about $50 a month with it.

it depends on the difficulty rate... you need to check the hashing rate on a mining calculator https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculatorit will give you accurate info within 20%

you can use manually add money. If you need to manually press "minus" when you take a few coins out

I use all of them, but I only use about 72 regularly. I try to keep a set of 72 all of the time and then once in awhile I buy the bigger set so that I have all of them.

Supply and demand...yes a lot of these cards are selling to cryptocurrency miners. Not necessarily the intended target, but the demand has shot to the roof and a lot of retailers are barely able to keep stocked up. B&H; had the best price at about $400, but has not been able to ship anything for the last 3 months, at least, because the manufacturer (the very source of the supply) can't keep up with the orders. So, retailers who do have them in stock have the leverage to increase the price and basically sell to the "highest bidder". Considering the amount of money you can make mining cryptocurrency with these cards, miners still consider $400-$500 for these cards somewhat reasonable.

While I'm sure you're aware, you'd probably have to contact the seller directly. I have seen on a couple of "Group Buy" forums in which sellers mention they also offer the products on Amazon, and other sites, for regular cash transactions (but they're usually more expensive that way). I think your best bet would be to search for BTC Group Buys - the Bitcoin Talk Forum is where I shop - especially because you'll be able to get them much cheaper than on Amazon, especially if you're buying with BTC.

for plug and play use macminer or asteroid for MAC or use multi miner for super easy on PC. I found that U2 runs best on multi miner! good luck and see you on the moon @bigperrydog

There you go. Great insight. No correct answer, just, "you might consider". I'm not rich and want to spend my money wisely. Thank you very much!

Yes you can. I believe it was about $12 for 10 coins. My niece loves this toy!!

From my (admittedly limited) understanding, the current GPU market, especially AMD cards, is being inflated by the "supply and demand" principal due to high demand for graphics cards in cryptocoin mining rigs. Many of these machines have 3 or more GPUs's set up. The coins mined can then be used to upgrade or purchase additional hardware. Meaning that the miners can seemingly afford the hikes since the money is basically "free.".

We have used it for a lot of coins with no problems. You need to use good coin wrappers, can't buy the cheap ones from the dollar store, they don't work on this machine from our experience. fyi.

*coin miners are buying up every high and high-ish end card out there to mine for Litecoings and Dogecoins and such. The AMD cards are significantly better than Nvidia cards for mining. The demand is driving the price up everywhere. Very irritating. I would just wait for a few more weeks if you can. The price might drop in mid or end of January 2014.

yes it is - what you are seeing is that as the newer miners come out the older miners drop in price - but you have to acct the electrical use- U1 will max out at about 2.2G tops - U2 - will get up to about 2.5 - maybe 3 if your VERY lucy... the twin furys seems to do great with cgminer at about 5G each - I hope this helps - cheers and keep on mining before its outlawed

Yes. Quarters, nickels, pennies, dimes... whatever size coin you feel like using.

I bought mine back in January and it has since paid for itself plus some. In all honesty, at this point, you'd have to spend quite a bit of money to make money in it. The hash difficulty is too high.

NVIDIA is not good for bitcoin mining, better option is ATI, but even these can't keep up with ASIC's. If you are looking for mining, try an altcoin, or get a pickaxe. The TITAN is great for CUDA GPU stuff with Matlab. I have two and set up multiple workers on them.

It's not worth it either way. The amount of bitcoin mined is so little you may not even be able to transfer it out of a group mining "bank" because of the fee. Don't bother. Mine Doge or something else.

You can buy special coin wrappers that are designed to be placed in the hoppers for the coins to fall into. Don't try to do that with the old style wrappers, it just doesn't work. Charlie. . . . . .
