I love the idea of a super low power usb miner, but at 300 mhash's and that price it is pointless.

Yea, I just did, did some of my own calculations and realised it's utterly pointless

If anyone is willing to loan me, I'd pay back the first 4 BTC I make per unit. So for each unit you earn 2 BTC back.
It's quite a hefty amount to loan I know but if anyone would consider it pm me and we can talk about it.

I would love to help you, but unfortunately you will never mine 4 BTC with the unit... Read my post above.

I am interested if there are any left, but what is the ROI on this and over what period of time if I only buy 1?
Anywhere I can find this info?

According to my numbers at the current difficulty and 300 MH/s it will make ~0.013 BTC per week.
-- At a very moderate 5% difficulty increase per retargetting interval (every ~12 days) you will make ROI by the end of April 2014
-- However, change that to 8% (which is much more likely) and you will make ROI in the beginning of June 2016.
This is more of a hobby mining device, you will not make any money with it
(Please anybody correct me if I'm wrong!)

You can read this thread where some people have run the numbers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195004.20
Basically theres a chance it will never be profitable at the current price, and in the best case you are probably looking at around a year to make your money back. Personally I would avoid them like the plague

Would you cover Ireland? Shipping can be sorted out via NI Address which should make it manageable for postage..
If yes, put me down for 1 unit..

UK only? Or is it possible to get it to Slovenia? Is part BTC part paypal possible?
Yes UK only as this would make things a lot easier for me postage wise, and payments would be in BTC only

I was attempting a small buy too, but you're price is much better- plus very little hassle for me I'd be interested in one.
I'd be interested in one. May 30, 2013, 06:37:59 AM
20% of cost, depending on what freidcat declares as price
May 30, 2013, 06:17:40 AM
What do the taxes come to?
May 30, 2013, 06:09:40 AM

11 more to go people come on guys

None taken I'm more then happy to use an escrow if we are able to (not sue how it will wok as we need to pay friedcat direct), I have done deals with people on the forum for over 250BTC including Friedcat, so I'm sure I can get a couple of vouches, I'm based in London I don't have a problem with you picking your order up up, I can verify my identity/address with a mod if you guys like
Ok thanks, I'm still in for 1 Stück (as the German group buy called them - which has Stück in my head)

No offense Ajay, but seeing you are new to the forums can we do escrow or some shit like that - where are you based in the UK - could I pick up?. If you are genuine then I doubt you will need this other guys 20 sticks...
May 29, 2013, 06:46:07 PM
Okay so that's 44 as long as the other guy is 100% about the other 20, if he is then I think it will be better to split the duty/tax charges equally amongst each other according to how ever many units per person.
May 29, 2013, 06:39:01 PM
I'll take 2.
May 29, 2013, 06:26:25 PM
put me down for 1
May 29, 2013, 06:23:11 PM
Someone has stated they also would be interested in 20 units so just need another 9 units and I will put an order in with friedcat.
May 29, 2013, 06:07:18 PM
I might be interested in another one but we need to move fast.

Hello it seems that all the group buys are now closed so I want to start a small group buy for anyone in the UK who is still interested in buying a Block Erupter USB.
The minimum order has been cut down to 50, I would like to buy 20 units so I need to find people to cover the other 30 if anyone is interested let me know.
pricing @ 1.99 per unit, we will work out taxes/duty + postage per unit and equally split the cost between us
If there is any interest please let me know.
