Block Erupter USB Sales [Temporarily Out of Stock]

"2.5 Watts USB Miner Outperforming Your Graphics Card. No Pre-Order. Get Them Now!"

No it does not

Considering  resale/reuse value of a video card, and hash/$ ratio erupters suck at that price. Electricity cost gains do not cover that gap.

Yeah, I saw the same ad and was thinking the same thing. For the same price I can get double the hashrate...

[kosmokramer]

Anyone looking for these shipped today - I guarantee you that you will NOT find a lower price today than this BitMit auction

Resell to those mining Altcoins... no?

Not really, no.  They can only do sha256 so no mining scrypt coins.

[ewibit]

after it has worked 3 days in this constellation without problems now I have only errors
I have done replugging a few times (and yes it is a powered USB HUB..)
(LEDs are green and on one item green LED is (was) blinking)

Well, there are sha-256 altcoins...  Although most of them aren't worth much.  NMC, PPCoin, DVC, TRC, BTE, etc.

I am not trying to mine my 2 BTC back as much as I am trying to mine my ~ $240.00 back.

Your reasoning is flawed.
You are acually losing compared to just holding to 2 BTC.
Who would pay 6BTC/1Ghash when you could buy 0.63BTC/1Ghash from burnin? Only misinformed people who bought on a hype and didn't do the calculations.

I did that 2 months ago - exactly the same error. My calculations were flawed.
Will my rig pay for itself in USD? Yes.
Will my rig pay for itself in LTC? No.
So I actually lost money compared to just buying LTC.

So if you didn't bought already, don't buy.

This isn't the 1st time I see some wild claim about buying gh from someone at a ridiculously low price.  Where is this magic 100gh for 63BTC and where do I get some without sending off btc to a jr who registered 10 days ago.

Massively overpriced - I may only agree.

Prefer to see Erupter USB at 1 BTC each final price available via group buy from 25 pcs.

2013.06.13 [20:50]  Icarus (ttyUSB9) ERROR: Selftest error

- Looks like hardware error, i.e. device malfunction (the logic is simple - if device can not complete self-test, it is broken).

But I may advice to you to plug your Erupter USBs, one by one, directly to your host computer USB port. If 'hardware error' will appear again - try to change host computer, better to other architecture and OS plarform.

If all these steps will not change the situation with selftest error reporting - than, you have too much chances that your device is broken and need to be replaced.

Agreed, better to sell these things on ebay at the moment.  Buy for 2BTC, sell for 3 to 3.5BTC (at current prices) after fees.  I've sold all but two of mine, which I'll keep as novelty items.

Great little product though - mine have been rock solid, fire and forget miners with no cooling solution whatsoever.

For 24/7 mining, these are definitely the way forward.  We just need 1GHash models.

Who is buying these at 3+ BTC?

[HTML5 Gordon]

Who is buying these at 3+ BTC?

Crazy people on eBay.  And I thought I was nuts buying them at 2BTC...   (but they are just cool as heck novelties)

[Trongersoll]

eBay prices have dropped. people are currently paying abour US$275.00 for these. it was over US$400 a week ago. at this point in time i won't bid more than US$225.00 so i'm not winning any auctions.

I purchased my two recent ones (I want one in each color) from kosmokramer - no pre-orders, only sells when in stock and ships super quickly.  I received each of my two orders in two days.  He should have another large batch coming in shortly.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223916.0

There's also been several groupbuys here in the forum.

[CanaryInTheMine]

i've run six group buys, will run another one but taking a break to setup BFL chips group buy.  if you want one, I can sell you one of my own. PM me

Sweet!!!! just sent you an email with a few questions.

[CanaryInTheMine]

my 7th group buy is setup: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241414.0

[bitbeast]

Price of 0.99 each

- Good news, thank you, fried.

It seems that my table of ASIC Competitors should be updated as following:



The only rest wish is to reduce MOV (Minimum Order Volume) from 50 USB sticks to 25 ones. It'll allow your products to find a faster way to your customers.
