Considering a block erupter only makes 0.21 cents a day. An only "5 cent more a day" to run cost will burn your profit or ROI quiet quick.
Not to mention you need 9 USB full of Block Erupters ports to make up the hashing power of 1 device offered.

Equiv Block Erupters TODAY are 0.97 for 2.7GH

So I will offer BTC0.75 for when these will be available in November.

I'd give you BTC1.1 for delivery this week.

The math should make perfect sense.

Add the power consumption (which is more) and the hub to run them you are looking over 1BTC and higher cost to run.


Each block erupter takes, what? 2.5W? He'd be buying 8 of them, and 8x2.5W=20W. Power difference isn't much I'm sure, sure it'll cost maybe 5 cents extra per day to run, you can find 5 cents on the ground everyday though.  Grin

Hubs cost around $20 too, so his total cost would be around 1.1BTC which is what he's offering you for delivery this week, I think that's a fair price, especially that there's a good chance he might never break even with this miner.

I understand where you are coming from on this post. I don't think it will take as long as November for me to get these in hand but it is a small possibility. If you were to order the Batch 2 available now you would be paying the same price AND getting it after the second production run is done.. Which could be December / January by my estimates.  I don't think this unit will take a year to ROI to be honest. Unless difficulty goes up further then I have estimated (+30% a jump or so).

Not trying to rip anyone off here, And compared to the other USB based Miners on this forum this is quite a deal.

Not all all your getting them for 0.67 BTC and 0.08 Shipping (total 0.75) and then reselling, with no promise of ROI and no clear delivery date. "BFL KYLE?"

I got 1 Unit at a discount price (around the price you mentioned) from Barntech for helping him with the DrillBit website. Barntech has set aside 2 more aside for me and I'm able to sell 1.

FOR SALE: DrillBit Thumb USB Miner X 2

Hey folks, I've done some web work for Barntech over at http://www.DrillBitSystem.com (Excellent Bitfury based hardware, Now on their second group buy!) and he was nice enough to squirrel away a few DrillBit Thumb USB miners for me. Unfortunately I am unable to afford to purchase all of the miners he had set aside for me so I'm offering to pass on the offer to whoever wants it here on the forums who didn't get a chance to get in on batch one.
(Shipping mid October / early November 2013).


These units can hash up to~2.7GH/s using only standard USB 2.0 power and are then next generation in USB ASIC miners, replacing the now obsolete 333mh/s AsicMiner Block Erupters.

I'm currently asking 1.2BTC per each of these units OBO (If an offer is made higher then previous offer and stands for a day, it shall be sold at that price)
I will have all units shipped to me when they are finally ready to ship, then post them to you at any address you provide.
Shipping cost is included in the unit price seen above, and If it is more costly to ship out then what is included in the price I will pay for it out of my own pocket.


Please post your offer below or PM me if you are interested.

Cheers,

Kyle.T

These prices seem reasonable(ish) for immediate delivery but are downright awful for a preorder shipping as late as November.  I know you are kind of stuck with source chip pricing etc, but this game seems to be over for the common man.  

If you plugged this stick in RIGHT NOW you would make about .45 BTC (or less) in the next 30 days.  The next month about .3 BTC and the third month about .2 BTC.  You would have a chance of possibly breaking even after a year.  Plug it in in 30 days and you miss that .45 BTC and would really have trouble getting over .8 BTC overall mining a whole year.

Will you go any lower than 1.2? It's a good price, but still...

For you xanto I could knock off 0.05BTC. Simply because you are nice with me on Just-Dice.com
Where in the world are you located?

I'm in Sweden Smiley

Yeah, I could do 1.15BTC shipped to Sweden Via regular parcel. Tracked express air postal service would be far more expensive. (0.20BTC or extra. :/)

If you are interested in the miner shoot me a PM with your shipping information and we can get payments sent off.
Cheers man,
