Topic: What else can you do with an Asic USB Miner? - page 3. (Read 16107 times)
Of course you care if they get a block. Who are you fooling?
I'm going to just keep them plugged in, hidden away in a cupboard and solo mining. Check it every now and then and not care if it gets a block or not.
There will always be a certain price for these that makes mining worth it with them.
USB port advertising. Go plug them into your local computer shop's display computers. See how many people ask about them
Pong?
hang it from the ceiling whilst erupting for handy insect killer
the blinking light attracts em, whilst the ridiculous heat output kills em on contact
for sale: 3x insect killers

plug them into your butt?
Risky! There is no wide lip so it might go in too far and embarrassingly have to be surgically removed.
only good for bitcoin mining.
Not true, You aren't thinking hard enough.
Are you taking this into account?
If they are right in all their examples, my applications will still work and be viable in most instances. coins have two side, most people seem to look at the wrong side in this case.

Buttcoin 
Whoever said they are mining vanity with usb asics is a lying sack of shit. any sha256 asic cannot vanity mine, fold@home, or whatever. It can only do sha256 hash, nothing else, only good for bitcoin mining.

I think one would make a pretty cool necklace.
I strongly disagree. I can think of one application where they would work quite well, but just prefer not to mention it.
Sell them all to this guy! He needs them for his secret application.
Trongersoll: how much you paying for used Bitcion hashing equipment?
If it's possible to use then to vanity gen. A how-to would be nice 
No. It's not. Private/public address generation does not look like double-SHA256.
You people need to think outside the box, forget the mining paradigm. Think about what the erupter does, what the algorithm used was designed for, and then think about what else you could apply it to.
Bitcoin was designed to use SHA256 for a very specific operation that shares little with anything other than bitcoin - by design.
They're not usable for anything other than bitcoin-like double-SHA256 operations where you are searching for a target hash value by incrementing a nonce.

I dont think you can do anything except mining coins
You could send them to me!
I'll give you 0.1 BTC each.

Actually a good price...
