S1 and S5 might be reusable if someone (cough) makes a new hashboard to fit on that chassis.

S7 can be undervolted to around 4TH/950W and get a bit more life out of it.

well you can use them to search google for other uses.

oh wait - nope they dont have that function. or any other function.

they do SHA256 calculations and produce heat in the process. and maybe blink a few LEDs. so unless you strip it for parts its just a cryptocurrency miner and/or space heater

You can only use SHA-256 Application-Specific Integration Circuit to mine other SHA-256 coins. I think some people may be willing to take it of your hand for reduced price.

As I'm sure is the case for many other people, I have a ton of hardware laying around that isn't profitable for bitcoin mining at the moment. Is there something more useful to do with my S1, S5, S7 that's taking up space other than a once expensive paperweight?

Is anyone having good experiences with multiminers that just throw hash power at altcoins?

I've got a few scrypt miners that I use to convert various alt to BTC regularly but my ASICs are much more high powered and efficient, is there something else to be done with them?
