Title: old asic miner
Post by: andron26 on January 30, 2018, 08:22:41 AM
Hello,

I have 2 old working hashra scrypt asics 14MH each. Is it profitable to mine any scrypt altcoin with such hashpower?

Thx

based on 501watts per miner (hard to find if that's correct), you would need super cheap (< $0.02 / kwh) to break even or free electricity to make $0.50 per day...

up until a month ago I was mining pink coin with 2 overclocked gridseed orbs @ about 900kh and earned around .06 USD a day... I sold them to buy a GPU. lol

Is it cold in the room? If so, and you want it to be warmer, then yes. I have an S3 and an S5, neither are technically profitable (the S5 currently isn't but it goes back and forth based on the price of BTC), but I use them as space heaters in cold rooms in my house/office. Since I would have heated those rooms anyway, any income is technically profit.

No, the  Zues Hurricaine x3 (gaw black widow) is definitely not worth powering up (I have one gathering dust)
