Use the 7 thumbs on cex.io as you will need massive amount of hash to follow up. I am using that one to speed up for a while.
Good luck on trying to find a block. Do remember to take a screen shot and you will be famous 
There have been a few posts on the forum about people mining a block with an erupter so, you never know! The cost to run 10 is nothing any way so might as well.
Base on the calculator, it would take few thousand of years to mine. But yeah when someone is lucky...
With 7? No, not a few thousand years. I run 10 and I think it was just over once every 10 years before the latest difficulty change - better odds than lotto.
Again, did you try factoring the Difficulty increment? in 10 years the difficulty might be 200 times of today's difficulty..

They mine so little that imo it's pointless to mine with them on a pool and you should treat them as a lottery ticket and switch to solo mining. I have 10 and just let them do their thing, if I find a block, that's great, if not, I'm supporting the network albeit it's a very tiny contribution.

how about 4, encase them in lucite and wait 20-50 years until they are priceless relics of bitcoin's early days...
Trying to sell them for the lowest amount of lost money is no option?
Sell it before it has no value. Or burn it

2) Join a mining pool and get something like 40$/months (excluded costs)
Maybe look into opportunities to expand your hashrate? Especially if you can do it cheaply.
I'll buy them for 0.05 depending where you are
Mine the hell out of it until it broke.

You should add a poll, maybe you will be able to record the answers a little easier.

avoid altcoins that use SHA256. most of the market for them is based around pump-and-dump investing as there is little reason to mine/support coins that use the exact same coding (SHA256) as bitcoin but have a fraction of the support.
imagine if any bitcoin pool capable of >100TH pointed at an altcoin using asics. they would obliterate it, and could produce far more than a 51% atttack.
in my opinion, there can/should only be 1 currency based on each coding type:
SHA256 = bitcoin
scrypt = litecoin

at this point, you can expect about $2-$5 mined per erupter in the next 2 months before they are obsolete. Unless you plan to keep them as momentos, you may be best to sell them for $15-$25 each
Hi guys,
i currently have 2,2gh/s hash rating. I know, it's really low for the actual difficulty but... Help me to choose 1 of these options (u MUST choose 1 of them!! ):
1) Try to solo mining and maybe get a block in several months (almost impossible)
2) Join a mining pool and get something like 40$/months (excluded costs)
3) Mine different sha-256 coins (like Tigercoins) and hope they get more usefull in the future
Help me please, i really don't know what to do
P.S.
Doesn't exist a 4) option
P.S. 2
Sorry for my crap english

Do for me, you may like to mine the forked for the first one.
Mine on a pool, but choose a merged mining pool. That way you can make 5 - 8 % extra (depending on the pool and the number of merged mined coins) compared to pure Bitcoin mining.
Load balancing is also a good way to to stabilise your mining income.

May I know which load balancing are you referring to? Bandwidth or something else I'm missing?
