I wonder what happened to all the real gold that the late lawful ruler of Libya was hoarding and that mysteriously vanished after the NATO invasion?

EU countries demanded to see their gold, stored in US. US had to get it form somewhere Smiley

Nah, they always show them the same 2 bars. Smiley

Yep, they are hoping to find enough suckers to make at least part of their money back on those erupters.  I'd be doing the same thing if I were stupid enough to buy USB erupters or any ASIC for that matter.

Yeah I won't get any more of them unless they are around $5 - then shipping goes and destroy ROI

I would certainly take a few off the hands of anyone who would be willing to sell them at $5  Roll Eyes

Alternatively, if you would like the chance to win one for the low low price of FREE, you can participate in this promo: http://redd.it/1nhs45

If you can buy miners (any miner) for 24$/gigahash, and get it in hands right now, you can make ROI by April.

So USBs *should* be 8$ apiece to make ROI.

USB isn't energy efficiency , I wont buy it even if its 6$ a piece.

I've made more on CGB than anything, it's got a non-linear block reward decrease, meaning that it should increase in rarity, such that even if it doesn't grow in popularity it will still grow in value. If it does both, it will be through the roof.

Used to mine $1/day with bitcoin on the one video card.. now nothing. Diversified across the board on cryptsy and not regretting it. I'm up 35% since just yesterday without lifting a finger. Good times.

Good to know, I just ordered 3 more BE's. Will keep the cases.

Some cases of old '80s home computers and video game systems are worth more than the systems themselves.

At difficult of 189,281,249
If USB Block Erupters are price at $5 each then it's worth it.

You should earn about $3.63 a month.

Before power usage and ignoring price increase?

Hey if you want to sell me one at $5 I'll take it
