Title: Uses for an old block eruptor?
Post by: GriffinHeart on August 21, 2015, 09:07:13 PM
So I have a load of old 333mh/s block eruptors, using some on the lottery, but the question is...
What the tits do I do with 10 333mh/s block eruptors....

Sell them and buy Sidehack's USB miners to lotto mine

List them on eBay as collectors gear. More for owning it and displaying it.

Then use the money to buy side hack usb sticks

And if you can't manage to sell them, they should make good "conversation piece" paperweights.

Heating devices, they works extremely well if you pair them with some quiet fans. Someone even install them in the central heating chamber to send warm air into the whole house

I was going to make one into a necklace but can't bring myself to drilling into it. :D  But yes, put them on Ebay someone will buy them.

I would agree with selling.  They have a surprising amount of value still.

Also people seem to collect the entire color selection.  So if you can sell an entire set depending on your colors value might go up.

You don't have a "load". I have 70. That's a load.

And guess what? You can't do anything productive with them. They are worthless. The "lottery" is a waste of USB slots.

That's just great! If you live near the Arctic Circle. It's August... Summer for 90% of the people on earth.

And what happens when you do that in August?

Put your miners in your vents during the winter! But now, it's not very productive. Right? Just sayin'.

Why drill?  There's already two holes going through the heat spreaders and the boards, one conveniently near a corner.

I have seen them on eBay using the heat sink as a key ring.
