But it reminds me of the good old days. I still have 10 of these miners that I bought here in the forum back then. For me these block erupters are a nice memory and I will never sell them.  Cheesy

Same, I don't plan on selling mine ever. It's a part of history and it has a big sentimental value. I don't think anyone who has never mined any bitcoins would be as passionate about it as people who have.

Is there anything these USB miners are still good for? Can someone run SOLo mining with them? Assuming one have up to good numbers of the USB miners will it make any sense running them for possible luck solving a block or two one day.

I don't think they're too good for solo mining. Not sure if there's even any software available that would support that. Plus, there are many newer generations USB miners (also obsolete) that would give you much higher chances of finding a block than these first-generation ones. And the first-gen seem to be more expensive than the newer, more efficient ones.
