So some old KNC miners are still chugging along. LOL

I still have my Jupiter miner sitting on a shelf, I pulled the beagle-bone out of it a couple of years ago just to play around with it using it as a small Linux server. LOL

Can I mine anything with it if I put it all back together?

EDIT: Looks like the only use would to mine a new sha256 coin and only after it launches and hope the coin does something, so i'll get it working again and may give a go or just stick it back on the shelf.


Yes I had many of those KnC Jupiters. These ASICs actually made a killing for the first owners because they took orders in mid 2013 and they delivered them right before BTC went to like $1100 from $100 or so.

From what I recall they cost like $5000. However if you mined all the way thru middle of 2014 when mining got unprofitable you would of net yourself maybe $20K per ASIC if I recall correctly.

But you are correct, its only for SHA256D which is Bitcoin pretty much. And even with free power you won't make anything. Keep those KnC Jupiters in your museum. Maybe one day they will be worth something.
