Title: [AUCTION] Tested & Fully Functioning Block Erupters - From RARE to COMMON Post by: anonymousminer on November 06, 2023, 04:03:35 PM Up for auction today are 9 different Fully Functioning Block Erupters!! First a little history about the Block Erupters for those unfamiliar with these items. Originally 12 "Emerald" Block Erupters were put out as a proof of concept. These are the absolute rarest of the rare when it comes to these little pieces of Bitcoin history. Unfortunately there are none of those available here today.... however there are some RARE ones to offer up! After the "Emeralds" proved the concept the Sapphire Collection was released. They were released in 2 batches. Batch 1 had 4 different faceplates. Batch 2 had 7 different faceplates. The original sale price was 1.99BTC per unit and a minimum order of 300 units! :o ....and yes that's 597BTC for the minimum order! :o During my research I found that the early calculations for ROI on these were about 163 days and seemed to hold under 200 days until Batch 2 FLOODED the market. A rarity statement about the batches: "Batch 1 - Block Erupters USBs were all flat colors: - Silver with an orange bitcoin logo (First ones to be shipped out) (RARE!) - Black (COMMON) - Yellowish-Orange (RARE!) - Red (COMMON) Batch 2 - Block Erupter USBs had regulatory markings on the aluminum heat sinks and had slightly better surface processing done on them. While they were the same hash rate, they did have a few minor hardware improvements. These came in 7 different variations: - Black (COMMON) - Blue (COMMON) - Red (COMMON) - Silver (COMMON) - Gold (SEMI-RARE) - Blue with surface concentric circle effect (SEMI-RARE) - Red with surface concentric circle effect (SEMI-RARE)" With that being said.... today the following ones available for auction: From Batch 1 Lot 1 - Silver with an orange bitcoin logo (First ones to be shipped out) (RARE!) Lot 2 - Black (COMMON) Lot 3 - Yellowish-Orange (RARE!) Lot 4 - Red (COMMON) Lot 5 - This one is a Black (ERROR) (It had the faceplate installed upside down. Some of these errors made it out like this, but there are no figures on how many) From Batch 2 Lot 6 - Blue (COMMON) Lot 7 - Red (COMMON) Lot 8 - Silver (COMMON) Lot 9 - Gold (SEMI-RARE) Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/tyoZb.jpeg Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/ty4kv.jpeg Lot 5 https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/tygod.jpeg Lot 5 https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/tyK6z.jpeg Lots 6, 7, 8 and 9 https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/ty1mW.jpeg Lots 6, 7, 8 and 9 https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/tycDC.jpeg Random pic from testing https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/ty5gH.jpeg Random pic from testing https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/ty9dg.jpeg Proof they are not just lighting up, but actually hashing https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/06/tyLVJ.jpeg STARTING BID PER LOT: 0.0005BTC MINIMUM BID INCREMENT PER LOT: 0.0001BTC Please limit bids to ONLY 4 decimal places END TIME: NOVEMBER 9th, 2023, 17:00:00 EST Payment due within 24 hours of auction end!!

Nice collection you have there...I collect these myself but not sure what I have and what I don't at the moment. I am sure I do not have the elusive green emerald ones for sure!

Title: Re: [AUCTION] Tested & Fully Functioning Block Erupters - From RARE to COMMON Post by: anonymousminer on November 06, 2023, 05:51:45 PM You see a lot of these not working or they just light up so the fact that they are all hashing adds to their collectability.... or run them.... in the past year 2 blocks have been hit by solo stick miners so maybe the math will be in your favor. ;)

It looks like 4 blocks have actually been hit by solo stick miners in the last 2 years per Decrypt. https://decrypt.co/119717/solo-bitcoin-miner-solves-block-with-hash-rate-of-just-10-th-s-beating-extremely-unlikely-odds Good luck with the auction! :D Title: Re: [AUCTION] Tested & Fully Functioning Block Erupters - From RARE to COMMON Post by: anonymousminer on November 09, 2023, 07:13:21 PM Current high bids:
