Hi Michael,
I would like to own some BTC and break even in 12 months. I would be using a proxy and connected to a pool. This is just an experiment for me, won't quit my job to start mining.
Have break even on your hardware?
Thanks,
Oliver

What was the price you considered as a buying price to find out that it is profitable to mine with. For all i know if you have a blade right now your best option is to find the greater fool and sell it to him 
lol
Thanks for the screenshot Michael
Main reason for screen shot is to show that solo mining with blades isn't really worth it on bitcoin. You can solo alt coins no problem. I use coinwarz to see profit levels and adjust accordingly.
Slush has a good pool, and bitparking does merged mining. With bitparking I got .02 on one block, that block also took 56 hours to complete.
I know how you feel on the whole profitability concern. I started out gpu mining on my macbook pro, while waiting for my 4 usb 333 mhs erupters to come in. Mined for about a week on the usb erupters and like what I saw so I took the plunge and invested in two blades. I plan on adding 1 or 2 more next month.
Main thing is figure out what you want to mine and where you want to mine. Once you figure that out you will be set.

I've seen this opinion stated a lot on here and on reddit.... however the online calculators seem to disagree. Is it a get rich quick scheme? No. But if your electricity isn't absurdly expensive, you'll still make money with them, unless the 3+ calculators I looked at were all wrong.

Three weeks with two blade ~20 GHs I netted ~60 dollars. Mind you I switched between pools (slush, bitminter, bitparking, multipool), and switched between zeta and bitcoin.
Right now I am solo mining zeta, joule, and bit (all at the same time). Zeta and joule will mine no problem, I am playing the lottery with bitcoin with only 20 ghs.
Find a pool you like and stick it there. Bitminter has getwork support, if you want to run btcguild, or any of the other with just stratum you will need to use the stratum mining proxy from slush as the blades only do getwork.
Personally I would suggest open a bitminter account and let it mine on it for a week and you can guage it from there.
I have no personal ties with bitminter, just a suggestion.
The is roughly 18 hours of solo mining for Zetacoin, 12 hours for Joulecoin, and Bitcoin. I had to restart bfgminer for server updates.

Thanks for all replies, I also get mixing advice regarding mining. Mixing advise regarding calculators. And the same advice regarding cex or trading BTC or GHs.
Mining: mixing result
Trading: that works, cex or BTC trading.
I think I will need to try it in order to test, will report back in 1 month.
Regards,
Oliver

Leave it, it's worthless. Try /1jALRQI]https://cex.io, it's the best way to invest your money at this moment.

Whether or not they'll make money in the future is hard to say, since the difficulty goes up every time someone spends $100,000 on a liquid cooled mining installation :/
You should absolutely not mine with a blade without joining a mining pool, otherwise it's quite likely you'll never get anything out of it. However, if you join a pool, you'll get a steady, albeit not very big, bitcoin income that likely is worth more than the electricity cost you.

What is 337? I mean block erupted blade, its 10Ghs. 0.01 BTC?
it you runn block erupter 337 today it will mine 0.01 /month 
Thats from a calculator or do you have one? Or an equivalent 10Ghs device? Thanks
If you run the blade today it will mine ~7$ every day.
Hi,
I have been reading about the Block Erupter Blade, its 10Ghs.
I also have been following for months the online profit calculators and some say you could make some money/BTC with a 10Ghs ASIC, but some say you will loose money starting today.
So, my question to anyone with this ASIC: how does it work? Do you have ROI/even in sight?
Many thanks
Oliver
