How did you find them?
That's what I wanna know. Dumpster diving out back of a pc shop that had a cleanout? seriously they are old tech, the only use for them will be people with old pcs whose gfx card fails and they wont upgrade to a new system. If you want to get an idea of the real value, start an auction on ebay at $2 and see where it sells  The value is in what someone will pay for it, not what someone wants to get for it  |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Yeah, I guess! Anyone offering any BTC I found them in an old warehouse we rented. Ask the owner, he had no idea, said they were junk. So I thought I'd put them to good use. Someone must have spent alot of money on these at the time they were good for mining.  How did you find them?

Yeah, I guess! Anyone offering any BTC If you can yingyang 2 of them in the small flat rate I will give you .7 BTC for 2 shipped |
This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.

If it mines at all (which it probably won't)...
If they're all identical to the card in the closeup, they won't. 5-series nVidia cards don't do CUDA; that wasn't available until the 8-series. |

Someone must have spent alot of money on these at the time they were good for mining. They were never good for mining. |
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Sick find. If it were me, I'd try to find an office or school or something with old machines, stick the cards in those machines, and sell the machines. I once had a library give me a dozen old pentium II 400mhz boxes, all I had to do was haul them off and they were free. Nice find.

They are very old cards and they are AGP. Since they are so old, and since probably buying them today is not easy, probably you can sell them for a nice profit, maybe someone has a old computer and need it |

You could build them up into a Ghetto Render Farm for use at a Highschool or something?

Now now, boards like that go for about $4.10/lb if you recycle them. The landfill processing center wouldn't let those fall into the actual fill. Remember when looking to value via ebay to always look at 'completed listings'. Look at what people paid for them, not what people are asking. |

Interesting, my report is from the port of Tacoma, goes directly on the boat to China.
They make you strip the steel header plates off to get that?
