Topic: If Bitcoin dies... what could I do with 50 GPUs? (Read 7323 times)
If bitcoin (and all alt coins) go to zero, then sell off some of your GPUs, keep the best, use the money to buy 6 kick-ass monitors, and go crazy with Eyefinity playing games.
That's what *I'd* do, anyway.

Point the cards to the MilkyWay@HOME project, or one of the other BOINC projects that support GPU. They often require double bit precision cards though. To find out if your card supports double bit precision or just single bit, refer to the ATI/AMD GPU list on wikipedia.

Of course though its donating cycles, electricity and operating costs to charity and for science, so you won't see any money from it. Sometimes there are prizes for competitions on some projects but to my knowledge none of them provide reimbursement for the work done (at least none that would approach break-even).

Mining Litecoin or other alt

Mining Litecoin or other alt
Depending on how powerful they are I bet you could set up a render farm with them, I think you'd need full computers to go with them for that though.
Do you have some additional data regarding render farms? Im talkng about 7950 sapphire gpus.
Sell them. Or mine lite coin..
Haha I joke ;-)
Amazing how many people don't actually read the posts properly!
Make an awesome virtual reality center! My old uni had one. Was awesome :-)

Let's say Bitcoin (and all alts) goes to zero because Nakamoto was wrong . What could I do with 50 GPUs besides selling them, have fun with my kids (and the whole school) or replace my home heater with them?
Any ideas that have been implemented? Like starting a "gaming center" or process proteins...

LOL - you still could mine PiPiCoin. What could I do with 50 GPUs besides selling them, have fun with my kids (and the whole school) or replace my home heater with them? Any ideas that have been implemented? Like starting a "gaming center" or process proteins...
own altcoin mining
mine litecoins
You should be mining Litecoin or another Scrypt altcoin long ago.
sometimes people makes me sick and want to puke
For my peace of mind, I'll just put into ignore anyone who falls into this...

Couldnt you use them as servers for gamers etc.. or get with a server based company maybe they could help you out. set them up as game servers to host online games or something like that im guessing what else could you do keep mining. Web servers or game servers maybe thats still a lot of power that can be used why throw them out but a big waste of energy. Still think they might be useful though. Can upgrade mobo and still use them somehow or sell them on ebay easiest thing to liquidate without future headaches.
I think the real good alternative is to sell them for money.
Amazing the problems we now have.. that a few years ago we didn't have.. Were changing the world! 
we must understand how get profit from heat of mining gpus... 
You might want to try your hand at cracking hashes for Bitcoin over at HashBounty (http://www.hashbounty.net/bounties) using ocl-Hachcat plus (http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat-plus/).
If you use something like VirtualCL (http://www.mosix.org/txt_vcl.html), you could distribute the work to multiple computers, allowing you to fully utilize all of your GPUs.

Host a server for a game that has a high-demand of computing power on the server side. Or put them to work doing protein-folding or whatever other project BOINC et al offer.
What are the fees for hosting games?

Sell some of them while they are still worth something.
