Title: What do you do with old hardware?
Post by: utdrmac on February 24, 2015, 07:02:22 PM
Hello,
I have 2 ASIC Cube miners and 2 USB YellowJacket miners. It costs more money (electricity) to run them than they produce. What should I do with them? Just throw them away? Does anyone want them? You can have them if you cover shipping costs. PM me.

Cheers,
Matthew

I'd sell them - see the marketplace forum section.  Plenty of takers on ebay as well.  Throwing them away should be your last option.

You can sell them (here or ebay), or just let them roll solo mining as lottery tickets.

Can I interest you in a 15 month old Black Arrow Prospero X3 pre-order? The miner consists of 2 units each running at 1TH/s @ 1W/GH/s and they claim they're shipping next week!

All yours for only $5k USD, that's almost 30% off the list price!

I know sidehack buys up old hardware, we've got a little museum of old stuff.  It already contains both Yellowjackets and Cubes though, so probably wouldn't be interested in those specifically.

sell it - people with cheap power or simply an interest in cheap $/MH or $/GH equipment might pay above reasonable prices for it.

antminer S1 units are still often selling for $40+

I would agree sell them.  You might be able to sell here on forums if not ebay has a big market. Someone with lower electricity or those who claim "free" electricity will buy.

We have one Yellowjacket right now, probably wouldn't hurt to fetch another. I like having two of things.
