What is this thing ?

Hi,

 

I bought a gpu a few months ago and the seller on ebay included a usb miner. I don't have any use for it and would like to sell it back on ebay. 

 

I'm looking to you guys, bitcoin aficionados, for information on what I got in my hands and how much it's worth. I don't want to mislead anyone on ebay by giving a wrong model number or false information of any sort. So could anyone identify this, elaborate a bit on its specifications, tell me how I can test it to see if everything works and tell me how much I can get for it ? What is this weird contraption ?

 

Thank you,

USB ASICMiner Block Eruptor, Approximate value USD: $33.87 and climbing.

Plug it into your PC, if it lights up and gets warm, it will run fine.  

 

Market it at 330Mh/s when you sell.

What do you mean climbing ?

 

Doesn't every mining hardware devaluating since the difficulty is rising and more and more people join the pools ?

 

(and thanks, the led does light up and it gets warm)

When the value of a bitcoin more than doubles in a week, the value of the mining hardware increases.

Yeah I heard about that. Do you think it would be wiser to hold on to it ? I can't see the big advantage on trying to get 2-3% more on this 40 ish $ hardware.

Either keep it as a novelty or sell it.

Can I make any money with only this?

I'm a total noob when it comes to mining?

About $0.14 a day if you run it 24/7
