No it does not



Considering resale/reuse value of a video card, and hash/$ ratio erupters suck at that price. Electricity cost gains do not cover that gap.



Yeah, I saw the same ad and was thinking the same thing. For the same price I can get double the hashrate... Yeah, I saw the same ad and was thinking the same thing. For the same price I can get double the hashrate...

Prefer to see Erupter USB at 1 BTC each final price available via group buy from 25 pcs. Time is money mining.

- Looks like hardware error, i.e. device malfunction (the logic is simple - if device can not complete self-test, it is broken).



But I may advice to you to plug your Erupter USBs, one by one, directly to your host computer USB port. If 'hardware error' will appear again - try to change host computer, better to other architecture and OS plarform.



If all these steps will not change the situation with selftest error reporting - than, you have too much chances that your device is broken and need to be replaced. - Looks like hardware error, i.e. device malfunction (the logic is simple - if device can not complete self-test, it is broken).But I may advice to you to plug your Erupter USBs, one by one, directly to your host computer USB port.

Agreed, better to sell these things on ebay at the moment. Buy for 2BTC, sell for 3 to 3.5BTC (at current prices) after fees. I've sold all but two of mine, which I'll keep as novelty items.



Great little product though - mine have been rock solid, fire and forget miners with no cooling solution whatsoever.



For 24/7 mining, these are definitely the way forward. We just need 1GHash models. Agreed, better to sell these things on ebay at the moment.
