Topic: What can I use Bitcoin miners for other than mining? - page 10. (Read 21370 times)
It's too bad that the FPGA miner era went by so fast. You could reprogram the FPGA devices to do something else. ASICs have one job, and that's all they can do.
heating room is the best bet, and you still mine something
If you normally have electric heating in your home, you might as well use Bitcoin miners instead. All power used by these things ends up as heat, so in that sense they're just as efficient as a regular heater that uses the same amount of power. Except you also get Bitcoins.
Thanks for answering seriously. Seems we don't have much of a mature community after all.
Our answers were a flippant way of seriously answering your question. They mine Bitcoin. They put out heat. They are useless otherwise.
Any other cool funky ways to use it? I'm sure we have a clever community here which will know some funky ways to use them .
I have though of using it to crack password, is it possible?
How about using the exhaust for drying wood or perhaps to dehydrate food (make your own beef jerky)?

I use my obsolete miners as dust collectors. I live in the desert so they'll soon be virtually invisible. Maybe thousands of years from now some archaeologist will uncover them and wonder what the hell they were for.
Best laugh I've had today

I've seen some people make keychains from USB block erupters, those are kind of neat.

Other then using it as a heater, it is better off selling it..
Space heater that is dangerous to cats and children. You can use them as clothes dryers too if you aim the exhaust at your clothes on a clothesline.
In the case of the asicminer tube - chick magnet! 
Heater for you home.
I can attest to that. My family went out of town last winter. I put the thermostat at 55F, put two miners in my room and shut the door, I was in a sauna in an hour, making btc and ltc.
