Although they are really just collector items these days, the AsicMiner Block Erupter USB miner can still be used for solo mining. There are a bunch of youtube videos explaining how.
I bought a few of them on eBay just because I think they're cool.

I feel like you should open up a private museum with all the BTC-related artefacts that you have gathered
I have burned my fingers many of times on these, My finger tips hurt just looking at it.
I would not expect them to work but do you know if they would not work with a mining pool?
I heard they can get to 80° C
yeah that's why do not have large timespan.
I've burned a lot of them even with good ventilation.
that's almost boiling or melting point
Good point. It must be an exaggeration. I heard it from some random youtuber.

boiling point isn't that hot, my kettle whistles around 99 C
It's closer to sauna temp than boiling.
How much hash pf power this provide?
Ha! About 330 Mh/s. They are from a different time. It makes no sense to really mine with them.
a fridge can mine faster
hahaha yes, I still have 2 of these. In the past I had like 25.
Only one is still functional. I keep them only as relics.
not worth it to put them nowadays to mine. You will have a lot of stale hashes.
OMG... I am going to buy a few

If $100 is really the going price, then maybe I can recoup my investment.
I have been telling people being Horader would pay off in the long run.
That's way more expensive than what I paid. Let me tell you my experience. I found the cheapest listing on eBay, then saw the guy offered a low price of $18 for 4 or more. I think they sold new for $13 back in the day. I bought 4, and paid $87.49, which includes shipping. When it arrived, the package contained 10 of them. I have a hunch the seller has so many of these he is looking to get rid of them. I plan on selling them cheaply for sats on satwize.com. I'm really just looking to more or less break even, and keep one or two for myself.
got it
I will go to satwize.com
I haven't listed them yet. Give me a few days. 😀
I will give you 30 days or whenever Ramadan ends
Never seen this until today!
