What is the Nerdminer?
It’s a simple educational toy basically that teaches you all about bitcoin mining. By getting the DIY kit and assembling it, you’ll learn all that’s needed about being a bitcoin miner, even though its output is negligible.
Where can I get one?
You can get it pre-built, which might be good if you’re not a tinkerer yourself or maybe if you want to gift it to a child. Or you can order the DIY kit and assemble it. It’s not that hard if you’re good with your hands.
There are 3 shops you can buy it from, all of them are fine options in their own way. Some have more 3D-printed cases to choose from and other features.

Has anyone ever mined any bitcoin with a Nerdminer?
The nerdminer is more of an educational toy. The chance of it mining a block is once in 130 million years.
If you want a real ASIC in the same category, you can look up the Bitaxe, found here https://loveisbitcoin.com/dcentral
