Do these come with the USB &amp; power hookup? If not can you recommend which to use? Trying to mine California Coin (Scrypt based)

Just the device, the cable and power are separate. I recommend a power splitter and standard ATX power supply. I saw 3 way splitters from the ATX, works well.

Yes, if that PS has 4 PCI-E connectors. Would most likely be a 750 watt ps or more. With that said, it does not make any sense to operate these units unless you were given them for free and you get very cheap power as you will not make much coin operating them.

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!

You just use a standard USB connection. I honestly don't know the specifics, but I'm going to put these in my hallways and I'm putting an outlet with hi power usb outlets on it

No. Using one of these is perfectly fine. Some advise: I don't consider these profitable. With increasing difficulty you would be lucky to make enough to cover the $200 initial investment in one year. I just sold one of these on ebay for $150. I would not value them more than $25 with the difficulty trend. If you are looking to make a real investment I would purchase a larger miner or go the scrypt route and snach up some AMD cards.

It cannot mine litecoin or scrypt coins. It can mine any SHA256 coin such as bitcoin, zetacoin, ppcoin, namecoin, etc

SHA 265 only ...look to Alpha Tech for a Scrypt mining ASIC ..I'm sure it'll be ready in just two weeks (yes I'm being silly)

I assume this is a question about mining litecoin. For the Radeon 7950, it seems to vary from ~530 - 730 KH/s. I would expect to achieve the midpoint without hardware errors. Here is a webpage with specs from all cards: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

Yes. Each come with DC power supply. I believe they may also be powered via PoE.

It depends on how may you want to run. I run one 850 Watt Platinum rated PSU per 2 miners. Just make sure that the Amps advertised on the PSU meet the requirement of the miner.

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

It varies substantially depending on how you have it setup. I use DGM and get nothing some days and the equivalent of $15-$30 other days (with 2 miners). I am using EclipseMC, they aren't huge but they have some nice benefits.

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.

I will have to check. Only one end needs to be powered. We were using them for sending POS DATA back to a pc, ended up pulling them out and installing a serial over cat5 instead to clear up some intermittent issues we were having. You may not have any trouble with them we had kind of a special setup I think is why we had issues.

You can use this to mine any SHA256 hash type coins. I believe that includes Litecoin.

Not at all, I have an old laptop that runs BFG miner. You will be able to even game if you want while running these.

Ashley mine is powered by A/C. The only purpose of the USB is to connect the unit to your computer. I chose this one because I have read that USB powered units lack power to perform at fast speeds. I am very happy with how mine works. Hope this information is helpful.
