Topic: Will people ever get their investment back on USB Erupter ? - page 3. (Read 1952 times)
very true. Id like to get a few myself but am opting to wait a few weeks and see where the prices are at.
Unless they bought in bulk, or are in it for the very long term, people will most likely not make an ROI. Also, the price has already dropped on the Erupters and its going to keep dropping I suspect. This is why you see a lot of people selling off Erupters and blades, they overspent on the hardware, and now its losing value before they could make a ROI.
Even in bulk it is 1.99 BTC I think. Same conclusion. I don't see how the investment can be returned, with so many ASIC is pouring into the market.

Each USB erupted cost about 2-2.3 bitcoins, and has 333Mh/s hash. According to calculator, it generates 0.25 BTC per month, at the current difficulty. This requires at least 8 months to beat even, with rapid diff increasing, I think people who buy USB Erupter now will never get their investment back. Any comments?
