<p>So, I have a couple of BTC mining FPGAs lying around from the earlier days when they were worth running (specifically a BPMC Red Fury and an ASICMiner Block Erupter). I'm wondering if these can be used to mine any other cryptocurrencies that might be a little more profitable these days. Any tips would be appreciated!</p>
