Hi All,
Noob here, 3 days ago, I got given an S1, I had it setup and mining to CK pool, however, the payments are just dust and i dont suppose i will ever get a payout from them.
Anyway, I have now switched to CK solo setup and have it all running, but, i am wondering, is it best to use an antminer S1 in a pool or as a lottery and solo, would love to hear experienced miners thoughts on the subject as I have bought second hand another S1 and an S3 but I am not sure what to do with them.
Any advice would be appreciated.
There's no way you could earn more btc than you spend in electricity for the S1, you're better off just buying straight btc, unless like me you like to mine just for mining sake. Throw away the S1 and use the S3, it uses the same amount of electricity and hashes more than twice as fast. In reality, though, you'll never solve a block with either of them, so if you can afford the electricity they would just be fun lottery machines.
