Hey guys! This may seem a little out of the ordinary, but I'm looking to buy a couple of those old USB miners like BlockErupters and whatnot. I'm trying to get enough to make a display to put at my office. Even though they will not be used to mine bitcoin or any other currencies, if you're looking to sell, please make sure the miners actually work. I'm in Toronto, Canada. If you have any, feel free to make offers! Thanks again!

You might get more hits in the hardware section this is mainly for collectables.

I assume you're talking about these: https://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506796126&sr=8-2&keywords=block+eruptersI've got a couple, but I've been keeping them alongside my mtgox yubikey and my BFL mug. Any ballpark what you're wanting to pay?

I'm open to offers! They'll just be plugged for decorations, so I'm hoping not tooooo expensive? I'm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Thank you! I'm just looking for cheaper and older ones since they'll be used for decoration rather than for profit.

I realize this is a silly question to most of you, but I have one of these USB deals but I really have no idea what it's used for. Obviously something to do with mining but besides the use of graphics cards generality from NVDA or AMD, I'm in the dark. If it's a long explanation than no biggie!

Short answer: these mine bitcoin better than power hungry GPUs. Or at least that was the concept when they were first released. Now they are pretty much just nice collector's pieces/decoration/conversation starters

Certainly a cool piece of history.

However, my GUESS..is that hardware not directly attached to the CPU, and small in nature, would eventually (as time proved) never be able to keep up with the larger GPUs...or am I way off? Appreciate the lesson, this is really interesting to me!

Appreciate the lesson, this is really interesting to me! SHA256 is very simple, a basic input->SHA256->output, which is why ASICs could be built for it as they are hardcoded to run many parellel copies of the simple code

I have some brand new Nanofury USB miners made with Bitfury chips. These are one on the first USB miners and now pretty hard to find. Let me know if your interested. They also look pretty cool for USBs
