At that point, just buy a Jalapeno.

The only way it *might* be worth it is if you were to avoid buying a Jalapeno. They're great for just getting into mining, but they're the least cost-effective ASICs out there.

$600 gets you 4 Jalapenos, which is ~18GH/s. $650 gets you 1 Little Single, which is ~30GH/s. Worth the extra $50!

They're only worth it if you've got less than a few hundred USD to spend, and you're only buying 1-2 to try this whole mining thing out.

Yes, but it requires a lot of effort and trust between the parties, and people don't usually consider a $500 investment to be necessary to split 3 ways. A minirig between several friends would be a bit more realistic, but accounting is a pain.

Has anyone thought of buying ASIC miners together and splitting the earnings? Say, for example, 3 people buying a Little Single together and splitting the earnings 3 ways?
