Title: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: Ajay on May 29, 2013, 10:45:48 PM Hello it seems that all the group buys are now closed so I want to start a small group buy for anyone in the UK who is still interested in buying a Block Erupter USB.
The minimum order has been cut down to 50, I would like to buy 20 units so I need to find people to cover the other 30 if anyone is interested let me know. pricing @ 1.99 per unit, we will work out taxes/duty + postage per unit and equally split the cost between us If there is any interest please let me know.

Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 2.10 BTC Post by: Ajay on May 29, 2013, 11:23:11 PM Someone has stated they also would be interested in 20 units so just need another 9 units and I will put an order in with friedcat.

Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 2.10 BTC Post by: Ajay on May 29, 2013, 11:46:07 PM Okay so that's 44 as long as the other guy is 100% about the other 20, if he is then I think it will be better to split the duty/tax charges equally amongst each other according to how ever many units per person.
Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 2.10 BTC Post by: nottm28 on May 29, 2013, 11:54:46 PM No offense Ajay, but seeing you are new to the forums can we do escrow or some shit like that - where are you based in the UK - could I pick up?. If you are genuine then I doubt you will need this other guys 20 sticks...
Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 2.10 BTC Post by: Ajay on May 30, 2013, 12:00:51 AM None taken I'm more then happy to use an escrow if we are able to (not sue how it will wok as we need to pay friedcat direct), I have done deals with people on the forum for over 250BTC including Friedcat, so I'm sure I can get a couple of vouches, I'm based in London I don't have a problem with you picking your order up up, I can verify my identity/address with a mod if you guys like :)

Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: bigtimespaghetti on May 30, 2013, 12:11:07 PM I was attempting a small buy too, but you're price is much better- plus very little hassle for me :) I'd be interested in one.

Is part BTC part paypal possible? Yes UK only as this would make things a lot easier for me postage wise, and payments would be in BTC only Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: augustocroppo on May 30, 2013, 02:33:25 PM Lads and lassies,

Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: reb73 on May 31, 2013, 02:31:15 PM Would you cover Ireland? Shipping can be sorted out via NI Address which should make it manageable for postage..
If yes, put me down for 1 unit.. Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: TomHartburg on May 31, 2013, 03:22:35 PM If anyone is willing to loan me, I'd pay back the first 4 BTC I make per unit. So for each unit you earn 2 BTC back.
It's quite a hefty amount to loan I know but if anyone would consider it pm me and we can talk about it. Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: nwbitcoin on May 31, 2013, 03:28:02 PM I am interested if there are any left, but what is the ROI on this and over what period of time if I only buy 1?
Anywhere I can find this info? Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: darklight on May 31, 2013, 03:34:12 PM You can read this thread where some people have run the numbers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195004.20
Basically theres a chance it will never be profitable at the current price, and in the best case you are probably looking at around a year to make your money back. Personally I would avoid them like the plague Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: piit79 on May 31, 2013, 03:41:57 PM I am interested if there are any left, but what is the ROI on this and over what period of time if I only buy 1? Anywhere I can find this info? According to my numbers at the current difficulty and 300 MH/s it will make ~0.013 BTC per week. -- At a very moderate 5% difficulty increase per retargetting interval (every ~12 days) you will make ROI by the end of April 2014 -- However, change that to 8% (which is much more likely) and you will make ROI in the beginning of June 2016. This is more of a hobby mining device, you will not make any money with it :) (Please anybody correct me if I'm wrong!)

I would love to help you, but unfortunately you will never mine 4 BTC with the unit... Read my post above. Title: Re: Small UK group buy Block Erupter USB @ 1.99 BTC + taxes/duty & postage Post by: TomHartburg on May 31, 2013, 03:54:13 PM Yea, I just did, did some of my own calculations and realised it's utterly pointless :)
I love the idea of a super low power usb miner, but at 300 mhash's and that price it is pointless. |
