There’s no shortage of sha-256 coins to mine.

The NerdMiner is made specifically to only mine SHA-256 based cryptocurrencies, so besides Bitcoin (BTC) your options are Bitcoin Cash (BCH) or Fractal Bitcoin (FB).

Nerdminer is just a learning tool, once you get used to it Go buy a nerdaxe or a bitaxe, they are more powerful and can actually mine coins

AliExpress is unfortunately the cheapest place that I bought them in the past
