If someone was still looking to use these for mining, what would be the argument against that? I'm sure people understand they aren't efficient compared to newer tech and I'm wondering what numbers put that into perspective.

with 3 block eruptors you would make 0.00001065BTC a month. not even enough to cover transaction fees.

It would take ~~1million~~ 100,000 years to mine a block assuming difficulty stays the same. I don't even think ckpool supports that low of hashrate anymore

Thanks eze. That's a good stat, can't even make enough monthly BTC to cover the transaction fee for sending that months income.

That's why I posted these as "vintage" in the "collectibles" section rather than as mining hardware

Agreed and I hope users aren't buying this for mining hardware! I've heard people (in person) with some arguments for mining that sounds like they've never mined before. eze's point was perfect and puts it into perspective that you'd be better off just buying BTC than trying to mine with these.
