I've seen people selling block erupter blades, version 2 on ebay for around 150 usd.. The question is, are they still worth it at round 15usd per gigahash? Someone please help me out on this. Still deciding on buying some block erupter blades on eBay or purchasing some gigahashes on cex.io. Thanks!
I think blades and cubes are still a good way for people to "ease into" mining. I have 11 blades running and 4 cubes, these were bought over a period of several months. Asicminer stuff seems to lend well to starting small and scaling up; the way the blades plug into the backplane, and the cubes have the interlocking notched cases... Sure, the Antminer is more efficient, but not everyone can lay out that much expense in one hit, especially when starting up or just testing the waters.
