What you guys seeing for HW errors I'm, seeing about 60 and 70 on boards 1 and 3 after 24 hrs. Boards and 2 and 4 only have a few HW errors.

After a few days of testing, I went ahead an updated the firmware. I know only the remote disable feature was disabled, but I did do a power cycle down for ~10 sec and restarted. My chain 1 and 3 show 19 and 16 HW errors and the other chains are at zero after 24hrs. The rate and number of HWs as lowered. Not sure if it's just variance, power cycle, or more burn in that's giving me these numbers.

I am going to to take Longsnowsm's advice and crank the fans up to %75, then send it to a data center. That tunnel sound!!!

can you please elaborate on these data centers you speak of. i would MUCH rathter have my rigs hosted at a reputable site and pay fees than have to deal with the noise/heat from them in my own apartment.

if u happen to know of any in the new england area that would b even better Wink

I would reach out to Tim at, they will port forward the IP so u have access.

264 bucks for 6 months. Sending my first L3+ to them Monday

thats $264 all in ? eve. hosted at home at 14 cent per kwh that would be like $500 or so for six months
theres gota be some other hidden fees , always is

You will have to supply your own power supply at that price, but look at the website and look at the terms. I'm taking a leap of faith, and trying it out.

I hope this works for you. If its legit, I would not hesitate to send my stuff to the USA. I pay more than 300$ for electricity per month for each miner....

I know we are super expensive but this sounds too good to be true

Hey guys,
I could host your L3 miners (limited space) in my dorm room. I have unlimited cheap electricity! Hopefully I'll make enough fair money from hosting costs (elec+monitoring) to buy my own L3

PM for address and cost negotiation, but I will def. charge less than what costs you to run it @home Wink

Location: EU Close to the Dutch/German border.
P.S. I could also pay up to 1-1.5K EUR of the price of the miner and get the respective share of the mined cryptos. In which case you'll get electricity and monitoring for free from me as your partner B]

Sent you a pm. Others I host with maxumark on here. Ask rates. He may still offer
Hash insurance if your rig has to go in for repairs to China on a 6 week vacation also.

What you guys seeing for HW errors I'm, seeing about 60 and 70 on boards 1 and 3 after 24 hrs. Boards and 2 and 4 only have a few HW errors.

Mine has been running about 19 hours at an air conditioned data center. Chain 1 has 40 hardware errors, chain 2 has 1 error, and the rest have zero.

This seems to be a trend in recent Bitmain hardware. One of my S9's (the most recently purchased one) also has one board that gets 10x hardware errors of the other boards. I tried down clocking that unit to reduce the hardware errors.

Back on the L3+, I don't think that temperature is a factor. One of the hottest boards has zero hardware errors.

On the hardware issues what I have seen with the L3's is that if a board throws errors as long as it isn't a high error rate the board is OK. However what I have seen is that boards in this state can become more unstable over time and as ambient temps rise. Some of those boards will begin escalating errors until the miner starts to crash.

So temps are a factor with the boards and HW errors, however temps are usually not the reason the board has the errors to begin with. The recommendation by many is to disable the auto fan and run the fans as a percentage such as 70-80% to ensure the inside boards most affected by heat are getting more air flow.

Like you stated this is pretty standard on the Bitmain miners to some boards with some errors. It isn't a problem unless those errors begin escalating. This is the dance I have been doing since we started this thread here on the forum with the L3 and the hardware issues. Hopefully turning up the fans will help some people. For those in a climate controlled facility this may not be as big a factor.

Keep an eye on your L3's is the best advice I can give aside from turning up those fans.

really looking forward to your infos. I decided to buy some miners to mine some too.

Would be a pity if they all got super high errors....

What is the end result of hardware errors? I have them on my L3+ too

If anyone wants to sell their L3/L3+, send me a PM, otherwise im not going to pre-order and wait for July delivery.
I would rather pass up a July 30 deliver if it means I have to pay now and wait to see what the network does between now and then.
Again, Don't throw your BTC away on pre-orders. Get actual in-stock gear when it's available and wait if it's not in-stock.

Some people act, others just wait and never act Wink

Well, it's not that I don't act, it's just that I try to act with reason and thought. After thinking this through, the prospect of significant changes to the mining environment over the next 3 months, it just seems too risky.
My A4's are still going strong, generating about $100/day. I like the benefits of the L3/L3+, but the lag-time for purchase is the real issue. I just want to wait and see how the mining environment is working in 3 months timeframe, and I realize that the price could change on the product, but that's ok. I just prefer to look before I leap.

If you point your miner at a pool it wouldnt matter anyway the pool would signal it or not, correct?

We will have to wait and see how this looks around July 30th...

Unfortunately all miners should be gone then...

As someone who has some of these I hope you are correct. But Bitmain is gonna pop them out like toasters imho. Its what they do Sad

(notice how profitable it is to mine bitmain bitcoin machines on the BTC network even WITH the price pump to $1,700 usd. It will pan out in the same

dismal fashion....only bitmain ..as you can see on the btc network does it make sense to mine...it seems) Sad

The same results on the LTC network I'm afraid. (As usual with my 'fears' I hope I am dead,dead wrong!)

Yea, it would have been great if I had found out about it in time, I might have done it. However, by the time I found they were on sale, all they had is the July 30th delivery.
That makes no sense to buy 3 months in advance, perhaps at most a week or two.
They really need to get caught up and start carrying stock for sale. Then it would be reasonable to purchase, but based on some future point, 3 months out, that's silly to order now.
It's well past the ROI point just to get delivery.
