6 Things To Do With An Old Scrypt Miner

Post by roundelephant » Thu Dec 15, 2016 2:35 am

Hi all,

I've got an old Zeusminer which I use on prohashing - wrote a little blog post about things to do with old hardware and thought it might be interesting (though I'm sure everyone knows about all the suggestions already).

In case you're interested, you can also do "lottery mining" here. Just use "c=[coin] m=solo." You'll get all merge mining payouts at pay-per-share rates, and then if you find a block, you get the transaction fees plus 97.5% of the block reward. If you don't find any blocks, you get merge mining payouts only.

If you want to try your luck at litecoins and hope to wake up one day with a bonus, feel free to try that.
