Post by: jantje010 on December 01, 2013, 08:39:06 AM i think it's too late since other companies come out with better equipment. KNC miner send their batch of jupiters (550 GH/s a piece) last week. Diff will be to high really fast. especially because Q1/Q2 2014 a lot more equipment will be pumped in the network (miners mining 2+ TH/s a piece!!)

However, they're small, don't require external power (assuming you have USB 3.0 to power it) and it looks and feels simple. This makes it a great miner for starters who maybe didn't dive too deep into ROI and such. But yeah, making $449 back with 5GH/s will take some time (if ever), that's for sure.

Post by: StefanThePro on December 03, 2013, 01:20:29 PM $ per GH/s is what kills hardware mining these days, the sudden price hike has shocked the existing mining community and makes the barrier to entry for mining much greater.
Erupters were $8 ---> now $40-$60 [so from about $25 per GH/s to over $150] Blades were $250 ---> now $500-$800 :'( [$25 --> $70] Cubes were $600 ---> now $1100-$2000 [$17 --> $42] KnCs' were $4500 ---> now over $15k-$30k [$5-$7 --> $50] etc etc |
