i was looking at buying 10-20  ASICMiner Block Erupter USB  's

i am in the uk

would anyone want to make me a fair and reasonable offer or join in with me

i am new here but have over 500 ebay feedback so you can verify me

kind regards

where in the uk are you based? im also looking for around 10-20 units, we could start a small group buy

I also may be interested in a small group buy if it was started  ;D

I'm wondering about the cargo and customs fee.

taxes & fees will need to be split accordingly between buyers when we know what they are exactly, I am happy to organise this for a small group of us if we can gather enough people for 50 units.

Do you want to own it for real or can you let someone host it for you?

My and my friends have started a site/service were we host mining devices for a low fee

You will own the units and we will take care of it and let you make bitcoins automatically

The price per units is app. BTC2.029/unit

over and out!

I talked to the guy selling them on ebay from Monterrey , California. He knows just about nothing really and is simply reselling so he can buy the larger units. When I asked him if he had a buy it now price in mind he made a comment akin to "I will see what the ebay suckers are willing to pay in order to establish market value, I have no interest as a GPU hashes faster...".

I'm just looking to buy a couple USB ASICMiners but I can't even reply to the groupbuy posts because of all these insane hoops I have to jump through.

These kinds of restrictions are really, REALLY frustrating.

There is absolutely no email, or even information about the limitations or restrictions, or that this subforum even exists for me to have to post in.

I had to google this, sift through yahoo answers, just to find this forum as one I could post to.

I'm very, very frustrated.

check my earlier post and I maybe can help you!

Can't PM the groupbuy organizer either it seems until you jump through hoops.

hi sorry i am the organizer but i am still considered a newbie until i have spent 4 hours

i am located in manchester

maybe this person also interested bigtimespaghetti as i saw he has a lone thread.  he wants to organize and charge everyone bit too much money but if i order 20 and ajay orders 20 he might partner with us for 10 and we all share burden equally.

started a small group buy here pm me if you are not able to post yet

I want too.

They are really bad value. Nice gimmick, but not for that price and the hash power thats about to enter the market.

If you're using mined coin or stuff you bought before April it might be worth it, but I pulled out of a group buy as I really couldn't see it panning out with newly bought coin. No way are they worth $260 and if you don't get them fast I don't think they'll even pay for themselves. Could be wrong - but if you plug in the predicted difficulties for July/August in your calculations you ain't got long to make your money back.

Looks like a 12 month ROI in BTC terms, using 20% per month increase in network hash rate.

The ROI on a 3xx Mh unit is 6 months, but in 6 months the DIFF level will turn the ROI into 2 years, who pays $260 for these things?

I just wish I thought of this because they are making millions and in exactly 30 days people are going to be screaming because they realize they will like never get their money back.


When they can be had for $70 let me know

With it goes for 70$ it will be to late to use it at that rates :)

Go do the math and figure out when exactly they become 'unprofitable' to run at 1.5 Watt!
Sure they are not cheap, but considering that I can run 1 of them for 800 hours for $0.05 they will continue paying for themselves for years even with crazy diff increase, and that is not accounting for possible (probable) increase in bitcoin value. + You get a kick-ass conversation starter and a piece of history!

They're only guaranteed for 5 months (whatever a guarantee means).  I'm a newb so I don't fully understand difficulty but this blog - http://organofcorti.blogspot.ca/2013/04/914-asic-earnings-23-april-2013.html (http://organofcorti.blogspot.ca/2013/04/914-asic-earnings-23-april-2013.html) seem to be getting positive vibes on here and there's other threads too talking about 64 Million difficulty for August.  If people want to mine with something that only does Mh/s now, I think they'd  be better off buying dual 7950's *this weekend* and hashing now.  Then you can convert to Litecoin in the summer or sell off. Usb eruptor's ain't going to be worth diddley-shit come September.

Sure - if you've got spare cash and you want a souvenir, or if you paid a lot less for your BTC than the current rate then it might be worth it - otherwise, forget it. 1.99BTC at current rates is a crazy rip-off price for a 300 Mh/s device - I'd love to see the Bill of Sale for the components.

In the near future these devices will be as cool as floppy disks today and great fun to show the kids how we did it. Your math on the other hand adds up as soon as one figures out how to use an usb eruptor without a pc that runs 24/7. Compared to a small GPU with similar hashrate it´s a fun alternative of course.

I did the math, using cost of electricity at ZERO, and the cost of the Miner at 2 BTC you will get your money back in 172 days if the DIFF does not change.
If the diff goes up at the anticpated rate, you will get your money back in over a year.

If you took those same two BTC and added 1 more BTC and bought a 5GH unit from BFL and they took 4 months to get it to you, you would still get your money back faster.

I bleieve he was reffering to the fact that you have to hae a pc running using electrity to use these. So .1watts in not what you will trully be using since your computer will never go to sleep. Even a mad range laptop uses like 90w I think

Support, very good.
