I'm having trouble finding where I can buy these little devils. Other than that asicgigahash website.
Could I get a link to that thread?

Umm, I gave it to you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190731.0

Yes its hard to find the best deal, but you're pretty much on your own there, just jump into the mosh pit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0 n

Bitcoin isn't free money, Its more like raw anarchism (with a kindly god looking over it). Satoshi, the ultimate Deist God sets it in motion, then steps out for a cup of tea, while we mortals get on with the nitty gritty for a few millenia to prove the concept, Then at the second coming ... sorry that's another thread (out of context problem) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=221411.0

1Jest66T6Jw1gSVpvYpYLXR6qgnch6QYU1 NumberOfTheBeast ... go on, give it a try Grin

Didn't mean to spit in your face about the link sorry, I was thinking about another thread on the same subject that was a in depth tutorial on how to buy the USB from a user on the forum.

I don't think it's worth it at the current price for the ASICMINER usb miners, given the current difficulty. Give AM some time and the prices may drop since the marginal cost of making the miners has to be pretty low - then it may be profitable to run a few of them again.

I can only imaging what is going to happen when all the KnCMiner ASIC's hit the market and are mining away...

It's a negative ROI.

+1

I'd stick with a GPU instead of a USB stick.

If BTC tanks, you can still sell the GPU and get some of your money back. I don't see anyone willing to pay anything close to today's fiat value of a USB stick if BTC tanks.

It's a different story with full blown ASICs, where the ROI is (hopefully) less than a month.
