I have the chance to buy some old mining ASICs that are no longer good for BTC. Would they be profitable with any variant or shitcoin?

it depends what coin your gonna mine . My A6 is making about 10 to 14 $ a day mining BCH due to the price of the coin other wise it would be worth less to me .

I'm even temped to power up a S3 with one bad chip, an a c1 that still works and maybe a avalon4 , I have .

Some shitcoins are very profitable. If you have much time to investigate you can do not bad profit even with Antminer S3.

I would appreciate some hints Smiley any particular shitcoin at the moment?

Regarding the electricity, I use my rig as heating so is money well spent LOL
