Hey, that's the spirit!   ;D

Doesn't always have to be about the profit or throwing thousands, sometimes millions to attempt to ROI.

Sometimes, it's for hobbying.  Like frequenting massage parlors or buying crack from your landlord.   :P

teach yourself to solo mine with them!    If all 3 work it is 1gh..    1gh should make a block every 400,000 days. well that  is at todays diff of 8.

dig around in old PCs for the 5v fan adapter * dual ended cable with 5v fan off of the 5v line *

I cut it half way to the fan and soldered it to where the power in to a 10 port hub goes so it's getting 5v from a HDD connector and I have 4 Erupters all nicely powered and mining ( and 2 of my 3 ants on different USB ports ).

Keep it up and you might be able to do what I did.... buy 2 ants from group buys ( including shipping ) with mined coin!

I also kept hitting some of the BTC/LTC faucets to up my monthly coins and used places like Cryptsy ( an exchange ) or peerbet ( gambling site ) to convert the ' dust ' to slightly larger lumps to go to my wallets ( yes, plural, hard to steal all my coins from 4 different wallet.dat files with at least 2 online!  )
