I've got about 5 of these little USB asic miner "block erupters" from a few years ago, are there any hot coins I can be mining with them rn? I've been out of the game for a couple years so any advice is appreciated.

So do I pretty much need a GPU based mining rig to make any real progress? Even if I could make a couple bucks a day just mining some weird meme coin and converting it over I'd be cool with that

If you wanna buy them that means they're worth something. Guess I'll just have to do actual research on my own now.

Yeah, they're worth about $4, but im willing to do $5, final offer

They're worth more to me on sentimental value alone.

You can probably mine some altcoin that will blow up in the future

That was my idea pretty much, what coins would be most viable.

>block erupter
They have 330 MH/s of hash power which would net you less than $0.01 per month.
You could, however, make $20-$40 a day shoving them up your rump on cam sites!

If I find a coin in it's infancy then that can be enough to mine a little nest egg and hope it spikes in price, right?

ASICMiner? holy shit that brings me back to the gold ol days where I their stock (not coin like nowadays) gave massive dividends. Good thing I got out before they exit scammed.

Yea they're left over from a few years ago when I was basically just doing it as a hobby and I heard the crypto currency scene was getting interesting again so here I am

Neato. I've got 9 of these sitting in a box near me.

My friend made the metal plate from one of his into a keychain!
