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.

Those are very old as far as asics. 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.
Thank you for your reply. So how SHOULD I start? I mean, how can I mine as a beginner for a small invetment?
Is it even possible mining BitCoin with a small investment ?
