10 btc I will send you 10x USB Block Erupters + 2x DLINK HUB-7's
everything you need to start a ~3.3 gh/s miner.
I'm extremely trusted on these boards & in the poker world.
Sorry, in your own words you may be trusted, but that's not a very good price with the prices going down, net. difficulty going up daily & all the ASICs coming online. This poor complete newbie would be paying 9 BTC for 10 BEs @ 0.9 BTC each (used no less).
If you're going the USB BE route, you should be able to score a brand new one on ebay or BTC Guild for $60-70 or 0.6BTC. Still a bad deal that may never make ROI (unless BTC really takes off). TBH, in your price range your better off saving up a little more.
You'd be better off angling for an Oct. delivery of a 25GH/s Bitfury unit for $1300 (12.1 BTC) which easily blows away spending ~$1100 for 3.3GH/s now. [Also, you'll be able to upgrade the Bitfury over time by installing $500 25GH/s modules which max out at 400GH/s. This will help you to deal with the inevitable network difficulty rise].
Word to the wise: those USB BEs prices are going to continue to drop like a rock from the 2 BTC initial price they were originally introduced at.Basically: Please don't take advantage of the noobs here...that's what ebay is for!
