Title: ASICMiner Block Erupter Blade v2 still worth it for the price? Post by: dimka on December 10, 2013, 10:54:38 PM Hey everyone, I'm planning to buy a block erupter blade for around 500. It takes up about 80 watts and needs fans, so I'm guessing on around 550. If that thing mines at around 11 GHash/s, how long will it take for the numbers to even out with today's numbers of $700-1000 per bitcoin? Also please put the calculator you were using so I could use it for further refrence.

But you can only guess how fast the Difficulty Factor grows. Title: Re: ASICMiner Block Erupter Blade v2 still worth it for the price? Post by: dimka on December 10, 2013, 11:34:06 PM wow, difficulty just screws it over doesnt it?

Post by: cunixion on December 11, 2013, 01:08:31 AM Approximately with today data it will produce per Month: BTC 0.168 = USD 165.70, in the specs for their blade they recommend the HP DPS 800GBA power supply which is a 1000Watts, 5Amps is quite alot and expensive to run 24/7.

If you're in it just to make money, not so much. The next gen miners will kill its earnings within. 3 months.

Yeah, that's the trick, isn't it -- trying to buy enough hash at a good enough price to make some money before difficulty increases. Be careful who you buy from -- lots of scammers out there. Not sure if that blade will pay off or not. But if you're buying it, do it right away. It might not work out as a money maker, but if the value of bitcoin stays up, you probably will still be able to reseller the hardware for a decent price later. Might be worth it as a learning experience as well (getting your feet wet, so to speak). Lots of new hardware allegedly coming online in the February/March/April timeframe that will likely push the difficulty way up again (driving down returns), but there are still a couple months until then. |
