So i Just purchased 18 block erupters and After reading the threads here I am starting to feel a bit of Buyers remorse..
I bought them at $11.00 a piece so i don't think i did that bad....But at the current difficulty rate they are kinda worthless aren't they?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

dont get buyers remorse. They will make you money. maybe not all your money back but very still a possibility. never know waht way bitcoin cost is going to go in the future. plus your helping out the network.

Yes, the ebay link is quite funny... Just in case you decide to sell the black erupters later, they should still hold some value, proportional to expected profit still available on them.

If all else fails, mine altcoins with them. Eventually you'll make the money back, given sheer luck.

thats not bad at all, I bought three of them, with import taxes and shipping, I ended up spending about $150. Of course I didn't make my money back but for me the education and even fun involved in getting everything setup was well worth the money. Now they are mining alt coins which is fun and ifI'm super lucky maybe their value will rise enough for me to make my money back.

6Gh/s for $200 isn't terrible when compared with some deals I see being made, not even talking about pre-orders. You'll break even in a few months.

35$/GH is never going to break-even (taking into account 'running costs'). |
