How many eruptors are you talking about? Just so you know, you will never reach ROI if you just start mining.

I'm running 5 right now in a mining pool. Getting ~0.0015/day.

Work your butt off for a month or two and then buy some real mining equipment.

Exactly - though it's hard to know where's a good place to get them. So many scammers out there.

Wow, $1.50 per day. How much did you pay in total. In BTC or Fiat?

People claim to buy usb miners for novelty and now they even buy usb hubs for the same reason. It 's only getting worse.

Granted, I'm new, but I think I've worked out a strategy. I ran the math, and the erupters will pay for themselves in about a year - I know this. I'm re-investing the BTC into GHS at cex.io and back into themselves. I realize that there's a lot of people ahead of me right now, but that's how it is when you jump in like this.

I've also yet to find an exchange that I'm willing to trust enough to actually buy bitcoins.

Just getting started out, and I'm starting to build up my collection of USB hubs. I'm finding though that many multi-port hubs don't have a big enough power supply to supply a full bank of Block Erupters. Any recommendations, or should I just start hacking off cables and sticking them into into a bench supply?

Sorry Raptor2213, but if you're using Block Erupters to mine for Bitcoins, then you'll be waiting a long time to see a return on your money. You're mining basically the same gold mine that the big guys and girls are mining. You have a little hand sifter while they have heavy duty machinery. It would be better for you to invest your money into buying actual Bitcoins instead of Block Erupters.

Hello, I use D-Link hubs for my erupters. The model is: D-Link Dub-H7, 7 port hub that I haven't had a single issue with. Picked them up for around $25 on amazon. Not sure if this hub suit your needs, but I have found it to definitely be reliable, hope this helps some! Grin
