I'm looking to save hundreds of USB miners from hitting the landfill by turning them into art. I'm looking to get an idea of how cheaply I can buy them once they're unprofitable to mine with.

I wonder how much someone would pay me to eat one? or grind it down into a fine powder and snort Tongue

As for my USB miners... I will be mining for years on them thanks to the power of the sun for providing my electricity Cheesy
But I think it will be a month or 2 and you will start getting some in the region of 0.001btc per USB miner I think

I think that many people will be stubborn and hold onto them rather than sell them for a loss. I intend to keep mine running until they stop working personally Smiley

FuzzyBear have you got pictures of your setup? That sounds cool. I'm also going to be mining with at least a couple till the end of time cause the idea of them is awesome. But I'm hoping to find someone with hundreds of them, I'm sure those people are out there!

would it not be possible for someone clever to strip the chips from old asics and integrate them into a new board?

They will never be obsolete if they still work?!  Huh

Personally I will keep using it until they stop working.
