Block Erupter thoughts

[lithod02]

I am kinda new to bitcoin mining, and crytocurrency and thought about buying block erupter cube  32-38GH/s but it seems it may be outdated and a door stop in 3 months what gives? Would it be better to figure out the convoluted cex.io to make$$ isnt that the whole point to make $$?

I have a cube and it currently earns 0.022 BTC per day on BTC Guild.  This works out to about $130 per week.  So, you could recover the cost in approximately 10 weeks if nothing changed.  Unfortunately, the network difficulty goes up every 2 weeks as people buy more high-end equipment.  One guy on BTC Guild has a 125 TH/s rig and there are a number of 10-25 TH/s rigs.

That said, I've had fun with the BE Cube (and the BE USB sticks before that).  It has been an interesting learning experience but things are just getting too pricey now.  Maybe in a year things will cool off.
