Just type in "bitcoin profit calculator" and you will get lots of hits.
keep in mind that things that look too good to be true usually are.
A single USB is not going to do anything for you at all. Start thinking about 10 or 100 and you are talking.

Most people will that you that buying Bitcoin directly is a better investment than mining these days.

There are not any ASICS for SCRYPT (litecoin algo) that I'm aware of. Litecoin was specifically designed to combat ASICS implementation. There are some FPGAs claiming to deal with SCRYPT, but I have not used or seen one operating in the way it was designed. |

One of those USB miners will mine somewhere between 0.025 BTC and 0.040 BTC. 1 BTC costs about $190 right now, so the miner will mine between $4.75 and $7.60 worth of BTC. I wouldn't pay more than $3 for one. How much are they? |

bout £16
If your goal is to mine for a profit, then £16 is too much because it will never mine £16 worth of bitcoins. I would not pay more than £1.85 each. Also, keep in mind that the amount that a miner will mine drops about 30% about every 11 days. Over the next 11 days, the most I would pay will drop from £1.85 to £1.40. |

About the 100, one computer will be unable to mine on so many USB devices. 10 is ok though Just so you dont buy more than you can handle  |
