I see that too. I think people don’t see that they will not get a decent ROI

hashingpro wrote: is it IN HARD or preorder?

In hard as of Sept 30th

In hand

That’s true but it’s not worth it considering I have found the D3 on other outlets for 2.5k

It felt like forever when I ordered my L3+ but I’m almost at ROI currently and majority of my mining has been at PH with little effiency issues or stale shares since starting

yup. But with new coins coming out for both scrypt and x11 who knows what the future holds for either of these

The question though remains what will happen to profits when all the D3’s go live. I see a drop in profits all the way around regardless of new coins

and it’s good luck on getting your hands on an L3+ or D3 at bitmain cause as soon as they put them up for sale, the website crashes. Bitmain announced a new batch of L3+’s going on sale at 8PM PDT so I see a website crash at 8:01PM PDT

today

Bitmain should discontinue the L3+ and work on a higher power miner for scrypt to account for the soon to be rapid increase in diff

I’m one of the idiots that bought 2 L3+ off amazon for 5k each. Then again they came with 3 year warranties through Assurant, so I’m not really sure how I can lose. Considering I can sell them for more than I bought them. I’m also the idiot that bought an D3 off ebay for 4k and thought it said 1st batch, but it said Nov. 1st batch. DOH!, finally learned my lesson and bought second D3 from Bitmain a couple batches ago.

Yes I converted time

I just hope you’re able to make a decent ROI on those once you receive them

Whatever 0.34284816 BTC on 8-17 equalled.

Yeah, I’m thinking of sticking them in mineral oil and overclocking them.

I don’t trust e-bay as far as I can throw it

I sold some Radeon graphics card on ebay, I don’t think I’ll sell anything like that again, what a pain in the ass

Is there a way to see the historic price and not just instantaneous?

Oh man, why didn’t you just convert it over to mining monero?

Gotcha

Yeah I could see myself in the same boat here soon

Oh man hash, glad that works out, pretty much my plan. Mine through the down turns.

Question about overclocking, lets say you kept these things cold (L3+ and D3) i mean cold cold (freezer status) would you see any OTHER risks in overclocking?

From what I’ve read on the internet it’s safe to overclock oup to 425 as long as you keep the connectors cool, they seem to like to melt that’s why I’m thinking oil

hashingpro wrote: I will say...I’ve already thought about snagging 1 or 2 L3+ off my rack and keeping them at my place to help with the heating costs in the winter.

When you electric costs are low, then whats about what their value is outside of mining. Otherwise, I view them as a worthless paperweight when they’re at the shelf life

heck yes

since everyone has SOOO much knowledge here (love picking your brains honestly) Let me ask, is there a pool that mines multi cpu coins only? or like new coins with no GPU/ASIC’s yet?

How much per day LTC on L3 +?

Approx $30-$40

Nicehash and zpool are a few I know that mine multi cpu coins

cpu only coins

or cpu mining that has GPU’s mining as well?

@mikey I was able to overclock my L3+ to 450Mhz for last 23 days without issue, but you have to keep close eye during hot days, you dont want to push your chip temp to over 75C.. I have software that automatic set miners to 400Mhz during peak of hottest day.

what was your hashrate?

~600mh

Upsoft, thanks for the info

@fire3916, at 450Mhz, I was getting approx 590 Mh/s

Efficiency has been in the 70’s tonight.. :/

same

$2280 for the latest L3 batch LOFL. I was thinking more like $800 and I was going to add.

Hello. Can anyone tell me the best mining script for max profit?

I honestly thought they were going to be $1k or maybe $1200 and I still wasn’t going to bite. Only $250 LTC will save them at this point lol.

Have payouts been stuck for you guys the past 2 or 3 days? Mine is well over the payout limit

l3+

antminer l3+

and so on...

thank you very much

I also have the difficulty at d=32768, but idk if that is 100% optimal

Otherwise mine maxes out at the 262k

i am a bit new. for pool 1 2 and 3 do can i use the same pool, or do they have to be all different?

Failovers are recommended

Otherwise you could have them sit idle if pool 1 goes down

alright thanks guys really appreciate it
