If anyone wants to sell off there old erupters in the UK I will buy

As long as they are cheap!

How cheap do you want them?

The Block Erupter USB is available for $5 from neXgen Mining now.

Any cheaper and they enter promotional give-away item territory; etch off the existing logo, print/laser your own on Wink

They'll still be profitable for another jump or two, depending on your electricity. I've got two hashing away. Sad to see them go...

Happy Anniversary, Block Erupter USB!

Congratulations to Bitfountan/ASICMiner for creating one of the most, if not the single most, successful pieces of Bitcoin mining hardware to be made.

I still have some of them for sale. If anyone of the new bitcoiners is interested in a piece of history, send me a PM

It's an awesome product, but not cost-effective for mining BitCoin anymore... still fun and I still have a set running, though! (Just a warning for people paying $50 for these off amazon).

This may be noob of me to ask but, Ive had alot of block erupters for a while now and I just added one more to my collection today but I noticed that the green light was yellow on this one. Does this mean something or is it just a different color? 25 asic block erupters all with green lights yet this one has 1 yellow.

Anyone successfully got BE's working on Android without building a custom kernel?

I see the USB to UART Bridge VCP driver page now includes an Android version; http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx

Yes, that whole concept of not reaching ROI because just holding coins would have offered better returns really does not preclude people from attaining a profit in pure dollar terms.

There is always something that could have gotten you better returns. The only question to be answered is whether you personally end up with more of anything than what you started with. If yes, then you win.

worth remembering too youll end up with hardware (diminshing resale value perhaps, but nonetheless a physical item

It's the only reason I bought a BE, cost me roughly £10 after deducting earnings and at the rate BTC is going today it might actually return more than I paid in GBP once converted from BTC. I bought it thinking I would make 50% back, actually got 80% so far.

If you buy any of these with fiat you will probably get your money back if BTC price increases.

BTC is not chasing hardware any longer though.

How many times must it be explained that fiat appreciation is irrelevant with regards to ROI...

Depends on how you look at things. May be irrelevant to you, but not to others.

M

how many times people have to counter with 'how many bitcoins can you buy on a credit card??'

well if you can buy miners on credits cards (0% intro rate of course) but not bitcoins how can one say 'you should of just bought bitcoins with your money instead of miners' Huh

understand now why people still rate increase of BTC as part of their ROI?

Hang on, I've been using 0.07BTC per Eruptor and 330 MH/s as a base for estimating the cost efficiency of most everything else, and so far have only found one unit that's truly for sale that actually beats it.

I see the same way as you, but I'm curious to know what you found that has a better BTC/hash rate (well, this week
