DualMiner The Bitcoin/Litecoin SHA-256 / Scrypt USB Miner

The new DualMiner USB miner is one of the first entries of ASIC's into the Scrypt mining domain using the Gridseed, and we here at CCN first reported about these ASICs all the way back in January. Love them or hate them Scrypt ASICs are here. In the case of the DualMiner it an easy to afford and use USB ASIC that also brings a vastly lower watt per kh/s ratio to GPU miner setups. The deal with the DualMiner is it can mine both BitCoin SHA-256 and Scrypt coins (such as LiteCoins) at the same time if desired. With an easy dip switch setting, it will mine Scrypt at nearly double the dual rate....

Scrypt Mining ASICs Spotted In The Wild: Introducing Dualminer USB Miner

The image above is a new USB miner similar to the ASICMiner's Block Erupters. The price tag is $98, with bulk discounts typical of Chinese manufacturers, for dual mining capabilities. This bad boy can mine Bitcoin and Litecoin at the same time! The device offers 60 khash/s for a total energy usage of around 4 watts. A total of 10 dualminer USB miners would run a total of $921.20 and net in 600 khash/s for 40 watts, compared with an HD 7950 that costs $300 and also produces 600 khash/s but using closer to 250 watts. The energy savings could potentially add up over the course of a year and....

Review: The Blizzard 1.3+ mh/s ASIC Scrypt Miner by ZeusMiner

Review: The Blizzard 1.3+ mh/s Scrypt Miner by ZeusMiner. ZeusMiner is the company that makes the Scrypt ASIC miner chips for many companies other than itself. It has positioned itself as not only a manufacturer but also as an OEM and re-seller of ASIC Scrypt Miners. Having to manage all three is a new and unique challenge as many companies are only one or two channels in the chain. So far, despite some bumps in the road, like massive demand at rollout, ZeusMiner has done very well. I recently reviewed the GAWMiners Falcon, which is made by ZeusMiner. It is an excellent miner that is well....
