USB Bitcoin miner useless?

[whatwid]

I got 5 ASIC USB miner in a hub connected to RPI running minepeon.

My goal was never to make money or have any sort of profit. Its all for fun.

 

But its not fun when they can't produce anything at all. They rearly get a cent... I have tried different pools and solo mining with the same results (solo mining I got nothing).

 

So my question is; Are ASIC usb miners useless? And in that case, what other uses/other coins can I mine?

They aren't very powerful, if they're running off USB, you'd need something like an antminer S3 or a Spoondoolies-tech SP20 to make any kind of money IIRC

Barnacles made a good video about this and yes I think those USB miners are straight up BS the only one who earns money with those are the people who produce them

So nothing. Just throw them away? Are there no alternative use for them?

Well, I'd suggest trying to sell them if you've made no money at all with them

I mean you could try it out and let them run for a year they won't cost that much and it would be interresting to see how much you got
