No, unfortunately not.  I think at this point, most (if not all) Cointerra miners have been smashed, ground up, and melted down to create new cars with.  They are pretty much useless at this point as they use way too much power for what little hashrate you get out of them.  Even with the BitCoin price at record highs right now, I don't think that a Cointerra machine could be profitable to run.  I still have one Cointerra machine in my basement right now, but it hasn't run since about 2015 and I gave up trying to work on it a long time ago, lol...  I sunk way too much time and money into trying to keep my Cointerra miners working for as long as possible when it would have been much more sensible to have abandoned them long ago and just upgraded to newer mining hardware.

I recently upgraded my whole mining farm to AntMiner S9's and decommissioned all of my old miners and have never looked back.  I'm getting much better and more stable hashrates and I'm pulling down the best revenues that I ever have since I started mining BitCoin.  I sold off several of my old AntMiner S5's already as well as one of my Cointerra's and a Spondoolies SP31 I had.  All I have left right now is one broken Cointerra for parts (that won't mine at all anymore) and a couple of parts AntMiner S5's (that each of them had one of the hashing boards stop working for some reason).

If anyone wants any of these miners to play with or to scavenge parts off of to keep their other miners going, let me know and you can have them!
