If you have any old FPGA miners, like a ZTEX 1.15y or a CM1 (Cairsmore1), you can get a decent return mining Vanillacoin.
If you just want to get rid of a ZTEX 1.15y or a CM1, there may be buyers in the community depending on the price you want and your willingness to use a trusted escrow, etc.
Some background information on Vanillacoin:
-Not a clone
-Only coin that has staking mobile wallets that allow you to move your wallet.dat to your PC from your Android and iOS wallets
-Only coin other than Bitcoin that only requires 1 confirmation on Poloniex
-Only coin with near-instant 0-confirmation transactions that doesn't use master nodes. You can receive node incentives if you have 10,000 in collateral, but collateral is not necessary to be a super peer. You just need an open VNL port, a certain amount of uptime, and possibly a certain amount of bandwidth.
-Only coin that has encrypted connections and gives you a random port if you have no config.dat. All your ISP will see is normal SSL traffic while monitoring your ports, which is unlike what happens with all other coins. If you're using Bitcoin and your ISP monitors your ports, it will know you're using port 8333,
which means it knows you're using Bitcoin.
