so what do you all do with your old usb miners, (the obsolete ones)?
or dont they become obsolete>?

Believe it or not, I still have mine mining away on BitMinter! They add around 9-10 gh/s to my total (~400 Gh/s) which is made up of a mishmash of equipment, including two S1's. They were my first ASIC miners and got me started.

Perhaps, one day, there will be some useful alt-coin using sha265 that I could point these to.

I just got one of those 20 port USB hubs, which works great btw. Actually has been reducing errors on all my ants and allowing some to OC further. So with my older smaller hubs I got to plug in all my old Block erupters just to add a few more GH/s to my wimpy 110GH/s total. This 3 day block is killing me since i have to wait for 6 blocks to give me a bitcent payout. But every H/s counts with me so even when an ant is starting to go bad i switch it over to BFGminer on a different computer and get it to run whatever it will. As wonderful as the bitminter program is, it just won't let a miner die slowly without constantly restarting it and throwing error codes at me. I had one antminer get down to .07GH/s and it was completely cool to the touch, but it died a day later. All the old 333MH/s miners are still running fine though.

PS- SOMEONE BREAK THIS BLOCK! At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if my name popped up when it gets cracked.
