So guys i was thinking about getting myself a usb block erupters and mine, any idea what the hashrate of a single erupter is in comparison with r290 graphics card?

You are looking at the wrong coin to use a block erupter.
http://www.quarkcoins.com/mining-quarkcoin.html

By all means, mine quark on your CPU while mining some other sha256 coin on the block erupter.

Yes i mean with multi pool

A single usb block erupter (sapphire) will effectively run a SHA hashrate of ~336mh/s .. why would you want this? You'd barely get .25 if you mined with two of them all day. AntMiner USBs (2Gh/s) are like sub $30 on Amazon right now whereas assholes are trying to still sell Sapphire block eurpters for like $40+ to suckers.

An ATI R9 290 will be very inefficient at hashing SHA coins, comparatively per-watt. However, it will hash scrypt algorithms and additionally other algorithms.

I think usb erupter is less of a hassle for the non technical guys, how fast would they be if used on Scrypt? I believe the Quark multi pool is starting with scrypt any idea which scrypt coin would be the most profitable with a usb erupter?

Block erupter sapphires are only capable of hashing SHA coins because that's just what the ASIC device is designed for.

However, there are USB scrypt/SHA ASIC miners I've heard about that can mine one or the other, or both. I don't have any technical knowledge but know that they exist.

Can't say which scrypt coin would be the most profitable because I don't mine any scrypt coins. If I was to say, the first one that comes to mind is Worldcoin (WDC).

What is the sense of a multipool for quark,
or in general what sense makes it for a coin?
^^ sorry for the noobish question.

The community would benefit from a multi-pool because mining QRK isn't very profitable right now. So a multi-pool for QRK would mean that you could mine a scrypt-based coin which is exchanged for QRK within the multi-pool and your mining payment is sent in QRK instead of the coin you're mining. This doesn't benefit the network because of the redirection of hashing power, however, it does benefit the market-trading volumes. The multi-pool would eliminate part of the process of selling off your reward for mining.

thanks now i understand it - sounds like it is good for qrk

I think he's talking about mining on the upcoming multipool!

Reraise - probably we will start off with scrypt first just to let you know!
