Title: Any usage for Block Erupter ASIC in 2021?
Post by: michasus on May 26, 2021, 04:04:23 PM
Hi, recently my friend gave me Block Erupter ASIC (it gets up to 500MH/s) and i can't find any usage for this. It is too weak for Bitcoin mining even using a mining pool. Is there any SHA256 altcoin with low difficulty that this hardware can mine?

Your friend has a good humor.
Modern ASICs have a hash rate of 100 Tx / s or 100,000,000 MH / s on the SHA256 algorithm. I don't know the coins for your device. On SHA256 at https://whattomine.com/
calculator 7 coins, and they are all mined on ASICs.
I think that mining on it is pointless, but it can be sold to a collector.
