Just sell it on eBay, they are going from 3500-10,000.

Not required on bfgminer 3.1.4 now - just use -S erupter:all instead.
Just "-S all" You don't need the erupter But it annoys me to see the devices detected as icarus. I'd rather have it detected as a block erupter. Luke-JR found/made a slabs rebranding tool. that can be used to set some flags on the erupters so they are auto recognized as such by -S all in bfgminer... will edit if i can find the link Don't see why you'll want to waste time. They still run at the same speed. I might be wrong correct me if I am.

Most USB miners appear to be more of a collectors item, I wouldn't believe it to be a great addition to your mining set-up. Maybe a starter piece as a bit of fun or as a learning tool.
Yeah. Well, no actually. My USB miners have replaced my GPUs. They use 2.5W rather than 200W. True, but still a collectors item, because it will take forever to get your ROI back. I have 1 which is running ...making 0.35 cents a day, but today it drop to 0.23 cents. But still better than using a video card, doesn't require a power source, so you save the money on energy. Also it free my computer. But non of this matters now, mining will be dead in the next 2 weeks, for those who cant mine at 10Ghps at least.(and even at 10Ghps will be low) I was mining 336Mhps was making 0.50 cent a day, then it drop to $0.42, for the last week it been running at $0.35 cents. and today it was down to $0.23. The only way to save mining is for BTC to increases in price.

Im also new to BTC but after reading and reading / I decided to go with Block Chain they look legit. They have pretty good security measures in place. < Even thought some user claim that they got jacked. But most likely it was their fault, being that BlockChain give you the option to download all Private Key in a single hash file. https://blockchain.info/wallet

Just "-S all" You don't need the erupter

With an Erupter you'll be getting around $0.35 cents US everyday. At current difficulty.

I understand your concerns but you can run the unit for long time like 5 years and add bits of BTC together. If you dont hurry, it can return your BTC in my opinion
This could happened, unless BTC drop dead. Remember afew month ago BTC was at $250.00 each, but it might increase But I don't think it is, been dropping for a while now.

The most readily available ASIC is the Block Erupter USB which hashes @ 336MH/s. I paid BTC 2.6 each, but now you can get them for BTC 0.55 each. It's a much better deal, but you might still have trouble making ROI. Check out my case study here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=224015.0I have one, its mining 0.35cents a day. That will still take me 200 days to get my $70 investment back. << Not counting complications

My recommendation is that if you are new, don't get into it.
Unless you have allot of money to invest and don't mine waiting for your money back and even that's a still a might get your investment back.
With new GPU ASIC miner running everything its has become hard to mine.
I'm mining at 336 Mhps with an ASIC miner wanted to test it , Im also new to this too.
So I been mining for 8 Days 24/7 on slush pool I only have BTC0.03, that's around $0.35 cents per day.
I invested 70.00 to purchase the ASIC Miner, so at it current speed and complication it will take me 200 days just to get my money back. Which is not bad, but I its getting harder every day which will make my 35 cents to lower.
One importing is that its getting harder every 1hour to mine to Bitcoin.
Other here will say "You need more mining power", but this will cost more money on your side and the results will be the same.

Yup I was mining then it went dead didn't even notice for half a day.
I need something that will be up almost 99.99% up.

You cant upload to their server, you need to upload on your side. I use Google + to upload it and I just the link I posted here. You do the following to add a image to your post. [img]http://www.google.com/usersxx/image.png[/img]
Also when you a posting something on the top left area of the editor there is an option to add the command for a picture. change the url to your picture location.

Simple install it.Unzip it, create a batch file with the command I posted below and your good to go. Download from HERE ONLY!https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0Create a Batch File (.bat) in your in windows.bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u UserID_worker -p **** --disable-gpu -S all This is setup for BitMinter so you need to change to your pool. This will disable the GPU/Video Cards and this will detect all ASIC Erupters and to load all of them to run.

If you assume an ebay price drop of $50/year, that's $0.14/day in lost sales cost. At a BTC price of $100, you need to be making 1.4 mBTC per day to break even. Right now, 300 MH/s = 5.7 mBTC/day. So you're still better off mining now and selling later, given your assumption of free electricity.
You cant make 5.7mBTC per day at 300 Mhps its has become harder in the two weeks. Im running at 340 Mhps im only making 0.0025 BTC today at current speed. last week I was making 0.044 BTCIts a big difference. Last month I was making 0.05

Mining on a laptop is bad, it will overheat and something will break, anyway mining bitcoin with anything other than an ASIC device is pointless now, and those USB miners are ASIC but so expensive you will never break even, better keeping the bitcoin in your wallet.
Also you want a dedicated GPU for Litecoin mining, again the laptop might make 1 Litecoin a month if its top of the range.
drawing is right.

I had my block erupter(s) working on Bitminter, but started having problems when I added more than 2 erupters. I am trying to setup BFGMiner, but when I run the .bat file, I am getting an error "Failed to load opencl library, no gpus usable. All devices disabled, cannot mine".
Dump it and re-install it. Unzip it, create a batch file with the command I posted above and your good to go. Download from HERE ONLY! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0

no offence but this guy wasted a shitload of time for something so useless, I look at it and don't understand shit, wtf do the weeks mean, what are they showing? it's a giant mess.
its pretty easy to understand. The weeks is showing the money that you invested for that GPU or ASIC and so on. I have Erupter it shows that in a week I will get $2 of $80 that I invested. Miner Price Watts G Hash kWh ROI Week 1 Week 7 Week 13 Week 19 Week 25 Week 31 Week 37 Week 43 Week 49 BTC USB Erupter $80 1 0.33 $0.00 180.00 -78 -75 -73 -71 -70 -69 -69 -69 -69
Being that I have an Erupter been mining 72+hours non-stop I have been able to get BTC0.016. Since I got it calculation no BitMinter was 0.054 per day now its 0.0042 per day. Its not looking good.
