why would anyone use those small block erupters. aren't they pretty well useless in these days of 400gh miners? 300mh isn't jack snuff..........

nothing below about 60gh will mine anything above 1btc per day, 30/.5btc, taking into coincideration for electricity, etc, it isn't worth it. and that is going down in a hurry.
By the end of the year, those 300mh erupters will be nothing more than shooting targets (for distance.....really nice at 100Yds, for target practice. and the price will never pay for itself.
at 300mh it would take a year or more to pay for 1 erupter at 150 bucks.


Why would anybody ask that question? it has been done to death. Trolling?

They works well with USB 1.0. I use one 4 port HUB with USB 1.0 version .

Thanks zamot, that's very helpful feedback.

Thankfully we can get them for $10-$30.

Yes, and that PC has to be before 1996 or it was fucking low end in 1998

Well, it's not the computer in question... I found some powerful and cheap usb 1.0 hubs that would be ideal for running block erupters. I have it's 2.0 brother and it works fine. I just ordered one of the 1.0, so we'll see how it goes.

I can't find the specs for the ASICMiner USB Block Erupters. Are they USB 1.0 compatible? If anyone knows where I can read the full specs that would be great!
