I don't argue that this isn't a good deal for a broken jally, but .15 is not more than it would have made in its lifetime.

My jally: http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1BJwCSRt7doZMS1RWtNFhefFbHmSU4BXPY

Hee hee! My single Jally... Yeah, it's hashing at 20gh. But that's because I rule :-)

The point though is that from today (well tomorrow going forward) a jally that falls into my hand and starts mining can only mine another .15btc due to difficulty going up. That's why I posted the calcs from mining.thegenesisblock. Now I did assume 5gh and not 8 partially because bringing a 5 to an 8 requires at the least a $50 dragon and some skillz.

So I think it is a fair deal. The problem is you can "get" more than that on Ebay now for a working jally (.6btc at 1,000 rates) but this is not because the jally is worth it intrinsicly but because people are stupid as all hell. I could sell my block erupter for $45 now even though it will never even cover it's electricity usages.

It's that crazy. So no, I don't expect anyone to take me up on the offer, but it's not because it's a fair offer. It's because one can skin a more gullible person out there out of more money, which is the definition of "greed".
