If you can find them for a decent price, it's not a bad idea to get your feet wet in Bitcoin mining for cheaper than most of the other hardware available. But as you said, seems like all the sellers are selling them at ridiculous prices. I have heard of some hubs failing when loading them up with the erupters. I use "D-Link DUB-H7" hubs, they are 7 port hubs and I haven't had a single problem using them for 3+ months now.
are you currently mining with it? how much profit?
Yeah, I'm currently mining with 10 of them @ 3.33~ gh/s. My 24 hour earnings are 0.00209187 on BTCGuild.
Are you using raspberry pi also? If so, how does this thing work?
