Title: Are ASIC Miner block erupters worth the money? Post by: ril2 on June 07, 2014, 05:36:26 PM Hi. I am very new to mining and I saw something called ASIC Miner block erupters.
If I'll buy a raspberrypi machine, some erupters and a usb fan, will it be worthy? Five erupters of 2Gh/s will cost me about 220$ I think and a raspberrypi machine will be about 60$. they will produce about 0.28$ a day in this difficulty. This way it'll take me about 3 years just to brake even and that's without calculating the electricity cost. My question is, where was I wrong in this calculation, or was I? Or is usb mining just not worth it? Thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor English and bitcoin knowledge. :-\ Title: Re: Are ASIC Miner block erupters worth the money?

If your talking about the one's im thinking you are overpaying by far on 220 for 5. You can find MUCH cheaper. I would look at different sources if you truly want to mine with those. Also look at ROI most want much shorter then 3 years. Title: Re: Are ASIC Miner block erupters worth the money? Post by: ril2 on June 07, 2014, 07:23:33 PM Hi.

Is it even possible mining BitCoin with a small investment ? Title: Re: Are ASIC Miner block erupters worth the money? Post by: SirChiko on June 07, 2014, 07:27:04 PM Hi.

Post by: xstr8guy on June 09, 2014, 12:00:22 AM You're about a year too late to get into btc mining and expect to profit with such a small investment. If you're in it just for fun, then do it it. But don't expect to actually make any money.
Title: Re: Are ASIC Miner block erupters worth the money? Post by: david123 on June 09, 2014, 03:40:14 PM There should be a sticky topic on that. Like: "Why mining is not profitable" or "Read this before
you start buying mining hardware". Every second thread here is from a newbie user who asks basically the same question, hopefully before making a purchase. While it is slightly entertaining to watch their reactions to the sad truth, it also gets a bit tiresome. Eventually this forum might run out of people patient enough to answer this question over and over again, which would be sad for those newbies I believe. |
