Topic: Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon (Read 137455 times)

"if you have free electricity". That is a BIG if. In my mind these are obsolete now. Can be used as paperweights though, or even door stoppers. But not really for mining. How much is a door stopper worth anyway - $5???

the L3++ model is not worth the extra cost, L3+ is enough if you have free electricity 


there are better deals out there than this, we will drop the price on eyeboot.com to $85/pc tomorrow:

don't forget above the shipping costs the 2.7% import fee and 25% tarriff to the USA..

just saying you can't forget about that on top of shipping or you are gonna cry,cry,cry...

The sad point is up till Feb 14th, when I shut off my last KNC Titan Scrypt Miner with 13 cubes in my basement, the KNC Titan mining Scrypt-N Fujicoin (FJC)

I was making a profit, IF YOU COUNTED THE HEAT I SAVED THIS WINTER, but alas, even at these prices...I finally fell $50 below a month on the heat savings and shut

them off...

now if the Apollo could do scrypt n ..yep, you probably would make a profit yet, but with knc titans ONLY ASIC units doing scrypt-N coins....even those days are numbered

I really doubt that pow scrypt will come back in any way (LTC included) for at least 1 year.

Even if someone gave me a scrypt miner (L3+) or whatever, I could not make anything on this unit. IMHO, we need  a 50% increase in LTC price for that to happen

20% would be due to the difficulty wise of everyone turning on their old bitmain L3+'s again and in the USA...May 15th electric prices go up 1/3 almost or so...

In my case that is 9.75c kWh according to last month's bill to what it was last year (or more) of 15.6c kWh for Summer rates...

So, I'm like an experienced 6 year Zepplin Pilot with crypto mining...grounded....all that experience of no use now....and likely at best to stay that way for LTC mining at

least for 1-2 years if not forever..(I am despondent) An 'Airship' Pilot with no 'current' useful skills indeed!

my take on this...of course I hope I'm dead wrong or we have a 100% increase in LTC price to make the above argument moot....but I kinda doubt it...at least in the short term

scrypt pow and LTC mining wise

but what do I know I'm a grounded obsolete former Zepplin captain....

litecoin halving is coming and there is a limited supply of scrypt miners out there...the only two that are mass produced being the Bitmain Antminer L3+ 500mh series and the Futurebit Apollo 100mh pod miner.

Well if you need the heat I suppose $99 is ok. It’s a bit surprising that so many scrypt miners are still mining. Low price for electricity or people have high hopes...

this is old, now you can get the new Bitmain Antminer L3+ Litecoin ASIC miner and it has double the speed (250mh x 2):

Coupons up to $220 can be used for the L3++



Do you want to buy back your $200 coupon  ?

lol I haven't used it yet

You posted on the wrong thread. L3s have been out of production for a very long time, and they're much weaker than the L3+s currently on sale.

Any future discussion that is about the current L3+ miners should be conducted here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/launching-the-antminer-l3-worlds-most-powerful-and-efficient-litecoin-miner-1864920

My guess as to the L3+ situation is they have most likely stopped L3+ production and have begun production on a new Scrypt miner or are ready to produce a new Scrypt miner. This would explain the extremely cheap L3+s Bitmain are selling right now (trying eliminate current stock of L3+s to make room for a new miner).

Just another note for the miners out there. What ever you do, do not mine on the Bitmain pool. This just encourages them to keep selling miners with no end in site. They can make money off of you when you mine there. Mine for litecoin any where but antminer Bitmain pool. They will make money selling you the miners and force you to keep buying more and more mining power to be profitable. The best thing to do is to stop ordering miners and force them to manufacture only a set amount. Then do not mine in the AntPool.

Does anybody know how long Bitmain is going to manufacture L3s? Are they going to stop at some point? If they don't stop there is no sense in buying them as eventually they will be worthless.

The $200 coupons cover the shipping cost. 

I do know and have tested it's possible to use 200usd coupons for L3. Even if it was for 505USD.

I don't know for sure the $200 ones work.  I know the $125s do, but don't have any $200s to try with.  I know $300s don't work.

Well OK, no problem for me.
200usd are now interesting coupons cos higher are not usable for L3

I paid that for a $400 coupon. 

Yes. $50 for each.

Anyone have 4 $200 coupons they would like to get rid off?  Can't use the $300 ones on the L3++s
