9$ incluiding shipping would be the ub3r limit for a BE to make ROI, they get 3.5$ a month, so in about 5 months you'll get ROI, if there hasn't been 100PH/s added to the network...

Has anyone come up with something else to do with them once they truly are useless? Something like SETI or Folding? That goes for the FPGAs and BFL Jallys in a month or so.

Mine SHA-256 altcoins. That's all they're good for. I guess you could look at them and admire the tech, but besides hashing SHA-256, they're useless. |

Don't they have aluminum heat-sinks on them? Surely that's enough weight to hold down a piece of paper. |

Yes that looks nicer. Good to see another Dutch bitcoin user (judging from the Albert Heijn bonuskaart).  |

There is at least one I know of: Stadscafé De Waag at Markt 11, Delft (behind the old town hall). About an hour by train from Amsterdam.  http://www.de-waag.nl/Stadscafe/Home |

I've never been there but maybe the cafe they go to also accepts Bitcoin.

I just sold off all my USB block erupters. It's really more worth while to buy from cex.io (referral link) instead. I get higher GH/s and the electricity, management and etc is all free. |

So 550 GH/s (equivalent of a KnC Jupiter) costs 550 * BTC 0.14 = BTC 77 or US$ 11,704 (at the current Bitstamp price of US$ 152). The Jupiter costs US$ 4,995. That is a huge premium (234% of the price of the Jupiter)! |

Bear in mind that not everyone that would like to be mining has that kind of time or capital. It also beats waffling around with so many bit-funded mining startups. I like that you can redeem for the hardware if you want to, or cash in GHS for BF1's or so on.
