Below is what I get now with an L3 at 400 watts at 250mh at 12c kwh electric.
$11.20 with electricity paid, per day.
24 hours 0.04009836 LTC 12.35 USD 1.15 USD 11.20 USD
7 days 0.28068853 LTC 86.45 USD 8.06 USD 78.39 USD
30 days 1.20295085 LTC 370.51 USD 34.56 USD 335.95 USD
Below is what I get now with a KNC Titan 300mh miner at 1,250 watts and 12c kwh electric.
$11.22 with electric per day.
24 hours 0.04811803 LTC 14.82 USD 3.60 USD 11.22 USD
7 days 0.33682624 LTC 103.74 USD 25.20 USD 78.54 USD
30 days 1.44354103 LTC 444.61 USD 108.00 USD 336.61 USD
LOL. What the Hell.
Of course the above means that an L3+ is getting $22.44 per day after electric at 12c kwh.
Who'd a thunk this, about 2 months ago?
Anyway, for your consideration. The calc used was from
www.litecoinpool.org/calcand does include the fact it is 101% payout free LTC pool.
I mine on Prohashing, until recently got more on PH so switched, but with LTC pump this may not
be the case anymore.
Anyway, was messing around with the litecoinpool calc, in that, I have both machines...and thought
this was funny.
Gosh this price drop in scrypt coins could not have come at a worst time for the buyers of the L3. Hopefully coin prices go up soon or there are going to be a lot of people dumping these on the market. There is already a bunch showing up on Ebay. I am praying things get better.
and for the above guy who posted Sept 5th, 2017.....see all is well now
Amazing to see that you still got your KNC
These fuckers are also rock solid huh? I don't worry much. Price is going to go up until Bitcoin will drop. And since everyone expects Bitcoin to hit 25k it will hit 25k...
NOTE: (off-topic on the EVIL of KNC 300mh Titan scrypt-pow miners (well-known fact...the Vatican is Investigating!) SKIP, if you are into PURE Bitmain EVIL only!
(I understand..Bitmain Evil is a full load of Evilness on itself, probably plenty!)
they are still 'evil as f*ck* and again, I have 2 yet in the basement, the rest in data hall, but anyway, you can't make direct eye contact...being evil and all, they
can sense fear and immediately will try to 'brick themselves' (I'm not kidding, on 4 occasions in last 3 years since I started getting them, the first was Nov 8th, 2014
they have fried a power plug, burn out, in front of me in spite...( managed to fix them all) but I mean really,
seems too coincidental...they hate my ass...all that 24/7 in the hamster wheel, etc
Every 6 months now (with the Maxumark brackets replacing the big ass ugly heatsink and the 8 individual dc/dc heatsinks and the hi speed fan) you have to clean
and repaste...all but 4 have been done at least 2x most 3x....damn they get dirty...the airflow improvement knocked the heat down about 12c degrees
so some of the mods, with Gen Tarkin Titan firmware mods..catching dead fans etc and temp sensors have saved them cubes countless times...
The REAL way we have kept them going, (all but a 5 cube unit in basement still on 2 corsairs..burning out the occasional plug every 1/2 year or so)
Is we have mod'ed server PSU's with the proper surge protection and usual PSU guts ...in the server backplates...thus 2 platinum 1280 units back in the day
2,560 watts at 96% efficiency, dual mod'd as 1 unit with 5 leads..works slick...and better then a breakout attach to such server PSU's ..in that backplate
they slide into has all the regular PSU safeguards and surge protection etc...slick!
when cheap to get new (@ $300 bucks with backplate) and using 15 AWG wire mods from such as leads, making leads, to get around these issues, thus NO Y adapters needed...(though they slowly "brown out" after a bit more than a year say...but you can watch for browning and catch and crimp replace if that is the case)
much more stable, much cooler, to the touch in the summer, etc
IF this keeps up ALL my units will have eventually burnt out the plastic plugs in the cubes of all my Titans (I mean they were supposed to last 90 days max according
to the KNC warranty and even that was changed from 30 days on a revolt of customers...real time figure 9 months max?)
So each time that happens, I do the scrape all the plastic off the leads, use a knc Y adapter (got a mess new for this purpose back in the day they were dumped on
eBay etc) put the 1 end in the cube direct and slide it on the pins..MAKING SURE THE TAB ON THE PSU CABLE IS UP LIKE IT IS ON THE PLUG (or bye, bye, cube)
Sorry, lightfoot...(repair's Titans) I know you hate this....I know of at least on all my Titans ....9 I'd say, we've done this w/o any issues....knock, wood
so yeah a LOT of these titans are only working from Litghtfoot fixes (8 or so cubes......I love the 1 BTC I sent him Dec or so of 2016 for fixes...groan!)
the Gen Tarkin software the checks for fans being off, too much temp and other cool features...the extensive cube bracket dc/dc heatsink and hi-speed fan mods
NEW...toss out the KNC ones, yech, repaste every 6 months ago (mainly needs cleaning also they get dirty, q-tip and alcohol) etc
True evil Titan needs to have minion's like me to bend to their every whim...but hey....last month it was 5 bucks a day or some such a Titan ..now it is like $15 bucks a Titan
a day, yet another price save vs difficulty to save the Titans for yet a few more months! Evil Triumphs!
I swear it is downright Lord of the Rings ...Sauron! Mordor!
It all makes sense now....me below
Ack!
