Hey everyone, would the raspberry pi offer sufficient power to run 1 USB Block Erupter? I will be receiving my first device later this month, and plan to use strictly one unit with the pi for a while. I currently use a 1.2 A usb power adapter for the raspberry pi. Thanks.

Maybe (depending on the voltage) - I had a rPi+BE running, but using a 2A/5V Power Supply, 1.2 might be high enough ... W=V*A

For stability and ease-of-remote-reboot, rPi+PoweredHub+BE(on hub) would be the way to go

No, the maximum power the USB port of a Raspberry Pi can deliver is 100mA.
There is a fuse that blows if you ask more.
You need a powered usb hub.
