Topic: USB block erupters are now useless. $5 - $7 each. - page 2. (Read 26048 times)
9$ incluiding shipping would be the ub3r limit for a BE to make ROI, they get 3.5$ a month, so in about 5 months you'll get ROI, if there hasn't been 100PH/s added to the network...

If USB Block Erupters are price at $5 each then it's worth it.
You should earn about $3.63 a month.

Before power usage and ignoring price increase?
Hey if you want to sell me one at $5 I'll take it

When we're old and grey these thing are going to be like 1st ed Spider-Man comic books IMHO.
Darn it I knew these would be worth more if I left them in the case.
I kept the cases of all my 141 units. Just in case... (pun intended)
Good to know, I just ordered 3 more BE's. Will keep the cases.
Some cases of old '80s home computers and video game systems are worth more than the systems themselves.
I've made more on CGB than anything, it's got a non-linear block reward decrease, meaning that it should increase in rarity, such that even if it doesn't grow in popularity it will still grow in value. If it does both, it will be through the roof.
Used to mine $1/day with bitcoin on the one video card.. now nothing. Diversified across the board on cryptsy and not regretting it. I'm up 35% since just yesterday without lifting a finger. Good times.

I'm mining alt coins with my sticks. I'm hoping they'll go up in value.
What alt coins do you like?

Your ignore button is shining dude XD
If you can buy miners (any miner) for 24$/gigahash, and get it in hands right now, you can make ROI by April.
So USBs *should* be 8$ apiece to make ROI.

USB isn't energy efficiency , I wont buy it even if its 6$ a piece.

I would certainly take a few off the hands of anyone who would be willing to sell them at $5

Yeah I won't get any more of them unless they are around $5 - then shipping goes and destroy ROI
ROI never existed with these things bro.

And they still aren't worth their purchase price!
Right now USB Block Erupters are currently at 0.10 BTC each.
Yep, they are hoping to find enough suckers to make at least part of their money back on those erupters. I'd be doing the same thing if I were stupid enough to buy USB erupters or any ASIC for that matter.
just noticed lots of ppl listed their usb miners on ebay at ~$25 per stick, there are now over 200 listings.
