I guess one of the reasons for the price drop you are talking about is because both Bitmain and Baikal announced that Monero ASICs are comming to the market - Bitmain Antminer X3 and Baikal Giant N
Looks like a lot of people are concern about them and this reflects to the current price level of all the Cryptonight coins.
Right, but prior to them even being announced, they were DoA for Monero. The Monero Core team had gotten wind of ASIC's being a thing and with the coming upgrade on April 6th, they will be doorstops.
I guess you could use it for Boolberry or Ducknote(or whatever they call it now).
