So is this Block Erupter capable of litecoin mining with cgminer?

Negative.

sha256-based cryptocurrencies only.

I mean fucking honestly USPS... I could have gotten on a bike and took a small vacation and received my miners faster...

How is it possible to take this long to deliver something?!!!?!  Oh and the "tracking info" makes it seem that the package has not even been received by USPS yet... it just says "electronic shipping info received" like it was entered into a system... and just is sitting on some shelf somewhere now... that cant be the case... right?

USPS does suck unfortunately unless you pay for every bell and whistle. Delivery confirmation is not even technically proof of delivery, they call that "signature confirmation." USPS routinely scans the packages at the office as "delivered" and then loads them on the truck for delivery. This means you can have a package marked as delivered but not actually show up until the next day.
i've had that happen to me, two days in a row now....

Got my device yesterday.  I've not tired it since I'm interested in other things, but before I forget, I've sent a 0.1 BTC tip to 1F4j4Lha8BjL4wxwFVbGaQwMJ4Kd1brfXb  This brings my outlay into a range where I feel it adequately compensates ~arklan for his outstanding work.

I've not tipped John K because I believe his compensation to be basically adequate for the services rendered.  I do appreciate his going above and beyond the call over the course of this transaction.  Again, though, I think it best that he avoids becoming involved in servicing any efforts which might be construed as having conflict-of-interest issues.  Escrow is currently an under-served market at this time so some of that is understandable, but as things grow, I believe that transparency and demonstrable avoidance conflict of interest are going to be keys to success.

EDIT: Also, whats backfeed with the pi?!

Basically powering the rpi via its USB output.

The power supply on your picture showing 5V and 2A, right? This might work, but it's really close to the limit. Estimate a little bit more than 0.5A for one Block Erupter. 2A is really on the edge. But give it a try!

A question for those of you running these block erupters on their raspberry pi:
Where in /dev/ do you find these?  Is it /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/bus/usb/ or somewhere like that?  Does some driver need to be installed for them to show up?  I plan on trying to use bfgminer first with the -S all option.

They will show up as /dev/ttyUSBx. No need to install a driver, the USB2Serial driver is preinstalled on a rpi. Smiley
I dont know if it would make a difference but do you have any recommendations for a USB hub that i could use with a raspberry pi? One that can power at least four of these block erupters.
Please and thank you!
Not sure if I should recommend my powered hub here. This might start some discussion as it's cheap and backfeeding my rpi (model B revision 2)... With other words you do not need to connect a µUSB power adapter to your rpi. Even if this should not be a problem with a model B revision 2, backfeed on your own risk.

There is a list with recommended powered hubs: http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Powered_USB_Hubs

However, hashing here with a rpi, four Block Erupers, a WiFi dongle, a Lancelot and USB fan connected: Logilink UA0096. Not sure if it's available in the US, I'm located in Germany.

Took a picture some days ago:

(without USB fan)

Best to choose from : http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Working_USB_Hubs

Additionally for 4 erupters make sure the hubs power adapter is at least 2A @5v . If u get one with 2.5A then the same hub can power your rpi as well as erupters.

I have yet to see mine arrive, and am not sure if I should have seen it yet.  I am bothered by this, but not to the point of demanding funds back or anything... It just astonishes me that people in Asia and London got their miners, which were shipped AFTER mine... when I live less than 1,000 miles from Arklan.  I mean fucking honestly USPS... I could have gotten on a bike and took a small vacation and received my miners faster...

I'm in the exact same position with package status, except I'm in the northeast US. I dropped arklan a note this morning to see what's up.

Kano was so confident in 3.2.0. I wonder what the problem is? Maybe we are missing a library or something.

I asked about it in the cgminer thread, kano acknowledged the issue and suggested to use 3.1.1 ... i am guessing 3.2.0 was emergency release for windows n00bs who had to earlier install drivers for usb to serial...

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ clearly says "LAST-STABLE-IS-3.1.1" ... so 3.2.0 is an unstable release.
