what is up ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the brandoncoin YouTube channel and you know I'm addicted to bitcoin solo Miners and uh the guys over at Bitcoin merch sent me over this USB hub and it's got a bunch of miners on it so um let me roll a little clip where I was did a little time lapse of putting it together cuz there's a couple pieces to it all right so essentially or well exactly what these are are nerd miners these are the USB nerd Miner V2s and they have little LCD displays on them so you can actually see what they're they're doing they're getting about 73 to 74 Kash from what I understand and um they do get like kind of warm honestly um now hash per dollar these are not a great investment at all uh pretty much any other solo minor will be better than the but like as a desk ornament this thing is awesome um and just to like fill out my solo minor you know collection um yeah it's it's it's kind of just really cool uh so each one of these are their own individual minor so they are getting you know 70 a piece let me go ahead and bring it up on the pool side and show you um what they are doing now um each of these can be turned off without affecting the other one and you set these up through Wi-Fi so when you plug it in the first time it'll put off a Wi-Fi signal so only plug in one at a time and set up each one or you'll have like tons of random signals going out all the all at the same time and they look identical uh you essentially just um uh tell it what your local Wi-Fi network is and the password what pool you want and your wallet address and then once it's got that if you turn it off and turn it back on again like for example it'll just turn back on and go back to your your original settings so it's super easy to set up super simple um if you were just going to they do sell these separate uh or you can buy the whole Hub and all of the drives uh in a kit and save a little bit of money um now let me go and pull up the pool and uh show you guys a little bit more about guys so I am using public pool Su solo mine with these little um USB drives now now uh solo mining does mean that I make nothing until I I actually solve a Bitcoin block will I ever solve a Bitcoin block most likely and probably not uh I feel like that's one thing that a lot of people uh a lot of YouTubers specifically don't let their audience know uh and don't communicate very well Solo or Lottery mining is exactly like it sounds it's like hitting the lottery and how many times have you won the lottery I know I've won it that many times so um letting buying this in the hopes of it making money is a bad investment buying it for you know to be uh to get into Mining and to try out and to learn as like an educational tool and also a cool little desk widget to set up that is probably how these should be handled um so if you're going to buy these and you need it to make money don't buy them uh because they they basically won't make money ever I don't want to say never because there is always the small chance that it would hit a Bitcoin block and a block is over three Bitcoin which now would be $300,000 but regardless um just you know be warned now I did get this from Bitcoin merch thank you for sending that over Bitcoin merch and let me pull it up and show you what this kit would cost all right so if you wanted to buy a single USB nerd Miner 2 that's what I I have on my setup these are $24.99 from Bitcoin merch.com uh or if you wanted to buy the entire setup with all seven Miners and the USB hub that's powered with the switches it's $1 199.99 so that gets you seven Miners And The Hub and the power and everything so there it is wham bam thank you ma'am so I'm going to go and uh move this over with my collection of other solo Bitcoin miners um I have been super addicted to the solo aspect of Bitcoin mining will I ever hit one no uh but is it really cool and if I can throw a couple extra dollars at a hobby would I rather be in this that's kind of how I'm treating solo mining or Lottery mining cuz uh it it has definitely become a another hobby for me but anyway guys I wanted to thank y'all for coming out I really appreciate it let me know your thoughts opinions have you ever heard of a nerd Miner actually hitting a Bitcoin block uh I looked online I can't find any confirmation that they ever have just because the hash rate is so low a lot of people refer to these as educational devices only but then there are a lot of these connected so that's another thing I did want to show you guys if you go over to where is it uh let me pull up public pool again if you go over to public pool and go to the front end you can actually see that the different kind of miners that they have on here so and you go to where are the nerd miners nerd miners they have 58,000 nerd miners connected on here so 58,000 of these things do want to combined 4.1 gigahash um on on this pool so this is some pretty cool information it leads me to believe that you know what some people are like hey it might not ever do it but we'll give it a chance right so you never know there's always a chance but anyway I'm going to jump off here y'all have a good one I appreciate it see you on the next one there is a affiliate link down below for Bitcoin merch so if you use that link uh and click on click through that link and you buy anything it does help me out um if you don't want to use that link I can completely understand as well I'll see you on the next one adios
