Topic: Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon - page 33. (Read 137455 times)

It is still on the site...the price....but they are out of stock....I just looked and it told me it was

says $1759....i think they raised it to $1900 thou..when they took my last 4 order (since pulled back by bitmain the april 24th batch) ...

remember my deal was $2550 for all elec/rent/hosting and TURN ON NOW for the 4 I got with Maxumark's deal (see his profile for his now closed deal)

these last 4 were in the batch above we were TOLD by eastshore that all was well (not to be for eastshore either all their stuff was pulled also)..thus nada

I think the 4 that were cancelled were $1,900 each ( i would have also run them thru the above maxumark deal...as well in May 2017....alas ...not to be)

What I used to think when the last 4 order was solid



What I think now that unicorns are not to be....



oh well ...got more btc again

Searing, how much was the price for a L3 miner from eastshore ?

Well we got an email...saying what I said in the previous posts....if you did NOT get an email....maybe yours drove away in the truck fast and did not get pulled..
irregardless we are SHOL so I hope it works out for you at least

Again did get 4 but them last 4 L3 Unicorns getting away is really, really depressing...for eastshore to for that matter...all was paid and all parties were told it was a done
deal ..till Bitmain proper ...pulled the rug out....again eastshore is beyond pissed off.....man .....the money they lost as a  wholesaler on these returns must be epic!

my 'asic fish story' about those that got away I guess

For anyone still interested in the saga to get an L3 repaired.  Bitmain received my failed hash board on the 24th of March.  I followed up with them on the 26th of March to find out if they received it.  They confirmed that the Hong Kong facility received it, but it would have to be sent to China and would have to clear customs which is 5 business days.  At which time they would update my ticket from "uncollected" to collected and begin the repair of the board. 

As of tomorrow it will be 2 weeks since they received the board in Hong Kong and STILL the board has not cleared customs and been updated as collected on the Bitmain site.  So I am yet again emailing them to find out what has happened to this board.  At this point if I don't get some progress and good news soon I am losing hope that this is going to get resolved at all. 

The other failed board(controller/io) that I sent back went to Eastshore and they did confirm they received it and have forwarded it onto Bitmain.  They are giving an estimate of approximately 10 days to turn the board around and ship it back.  I am not holding my breath at this point given the process these things have to go through just to get to the Bitmain site and actually get repaired.

If you own or are thinking of owning L3's just pray you don't have a problem.   

Best pester eastshore to get a status on your order.
I wish I knew how to read chinese, as I hear they are still available there, although not sure if they will ship to US even if ordered from chinese site.

I haven't gotten a refund at all or an email from east shore saying otherwise, only the payment was confirmed and was being shipped out to me. Maybe im waiting to hear bad news but i think mines is already in transit and should be here today or tomorrow. Let you know If i also got the Bitmain Shaft or not.

According to folk at Eastshore ...darker..yanked all their orders for this April 27th batch with no news on any more being made...L3's that is....the scuttlebutt is
all got yanked to go into the Bitmain data halls rather then ship...made more sense to keep them at double scrypt prices and refund folk/distributors/warehouse vendors (like eastshore)
then to sell them to the world. Makes a hell of a lot of sense ..if there are NOT a lot of L3+ they can fill the bitmain data halls with the last of the L3's ..for the next 3 to 4 months
until you can peel off your next big orders of L3+'s to yourself (bitmain) and thus NOW to grab
what you could back on L3's and cancel any future L3's and push your L3+ product (probably 3x the $$ amount) that is down roadand just mine like..hell till you can be first in
line to put the L3+ in your data hall before everyone else and maybe,just maybe sell some at inflated prices IF the price of scrypt doubles again .you just keep them
rinse/wash/repeat......evil corp 101......the new way to cut/corners and make money...MUG all your customers no matter WHAT the size.....

I suspect this is because they have sat on their hands (bitmain) due to the $4.12 LTC of 2 weeks ago and while they MAY have the chips masked in play for the L3+ they
may not be really 'up to speed yet' on the parts to make such..thus Bitmain imho saw a drought of miners ..due to their own delay on the L3+ and took them ALL BACK

Eastshore was 'beyond pissed' ..I mean the L3's were not moving at all a month ago...this April 24th batch order may have been in play for 2 months ...folk accumulating
waiting for them to hit the world...damn....big time whale evil corp action indeed...even slaying other distributor whales...a frigging bar brawl indeed.

anyway most of above is speculation on my part ..but it is universal everyone I talked to ..that unless your order was PHYSICALLY ON THE TRUCK ALREADY

it was 'pulled' and refunded by bitmain...and again this is the huge guys like eastshore as well.....not just us little guys...all the way up the food chain.

So again imho, the bright side because MAYBE Bitmain sat on their hands on getting the L3 parts ordered (besides chips) and out the door we could have a 3 month
lag of not as much difficulty..and mine well for a bit till this next wave of orders flow in from bitmain L3+ or whoever else ramps up scrypt pow equip sales

Butterfly labs did this...KNC completely jerked its 3rd batch of Jupiters and kept them for themselves....and their next miner was 1/3 more money

The further (my speculation again) likelyhood imho is a 505mh 800w L3+ (essentially 2 L3's in the same case) will also be 1/3 more if the price of the now imho forever gone
L3's and if LTC stays above $10 bucks

Asic companies are 'evil' it is what they do.....well played, well played indeed



But poor eastshore hard to sell the bitmain product in high volume and such with support when the company you get the equip from is your own competitor and yanks
the units out of your 'already paid and told it is shipping' que and takes them back..yeah....really....bet if there are drone pictures over the bitmain shipping area....on
Friday 3/31/17 they were loading the trucks and after the weekend on Monda 4/3/17..they were taking all the units back up...it seems that this is NOW the kinda
world we live in

Watching Bitmain's LTC pool will tell you much (assuming their mining is open to see such and not hidden) if my above speculation has any merit..from the info I've
gotten etc

Anyway it is a 'frigging' miracle I got the FOUR Bitmain 250mh L3's that I did ..with my once in my life ball up post on bitcointalk thread.. at the early am on April 1st 2017 (April Fools Day) that I was in for FOUR L3's because I was taking a stand...that the price point of $6 LTC was the floor...(scary post at the time ...saying it was not a pump/dump). The last
time I did that was chucking out $7,131.80 on a KNC 550gh Jupiter BTC miner via paypal and credit card option and the ONLY info on the site was a 'drawing' of the supposed
knc Juptier unit!!!!

Well 'I man'd up and it paid off' ..and increased my hash from 3000 mh to 4000 mh...but damn...those extra 4 Bitmain L3's I supposedly was secure in ordering on the way..damn it (grrrrr)
...well better to know now I guess ....this will happen with other asic makers in the future I'm sure if our dream of high $$$ for crypto pans out in the future..at least on such
pumps of such in crypto .....

anyway ..been a damn wild week (on the other hand I just got $10,200 bucks back incl/product and hosting deal) ....not like I'm on a streetcorner begging for asics (yet)

But wow....it was not just the little guy this time...EVERYONE from what I can tell down the line from Bitmain...all got the same 'wake up call' and 'er..we're taking it all back
...here is your refund...don't let the screen door hit you on the ass on the way out....

I most just play league of legends and ps4, my friend just brought it up to me one day and i started reading up on reddit and ive been addicted ever since. Losing my Job definitely was the best thing for me, i feel like ive gotten all the work experience i need to tackle life as an entrepreneur, i gotta get used to github and programming my gpus to specific servers to mine specific coins but its all like a money making game that i can captilize on better than anything else going for me so now researching this all day is easy and following everything is just like being on a forum for an mmo. All of this is life changing stuff for inner city kid thinking 9-5 is all you can do until you die.

That is absolute 100% true! Every single person will try to offer you 60% of Ebay price, with some murky escrows etc

SO i noticed i will buy here because i have got some really good deals here but sell here no way , i will use Ebay any day and deal with those fees ..even buying off some sellers can be a pain in the ass you get it but it may take some time.

No disrespect to forum members, but if you have ever tried to sell anything here you are in for an experience.  Most want to low ball you, and talk you out of what ever you are trying to sell.  Even if the price was a good deal to begin with.  Frankly it is less hassle to sell on eBay. 

After my few experiences trying to give forum members a first shot at things I had for sale I finally said to heck with this and sold it immediately on eBay for more than I would have made if I sold it here...

So my own personal experience has taught me if you want to sell it just take it to eBay.  Just mark it up to cover your eBay fees.  YMMV

Why not sell on here minus the ebay fees and hassles?

 no idea

you may have to buy it off a re seller like https://www.eastshore.xyz/ if you want the best price there in china and there site is in English and they are honest re sellers .

There out of stock . till  all most the end of the month ..


https://www.eastshore.xyz/shop/antminer-l3-litecoin-miner-250mh-for-scrypt-mining/

sense the L3 doesn't mine X11 coins it depends on what coins you want to mine the baikal might be better if X11 coins hold there price but don't court on that so i would buy the L3 and mine Lite coins or BTC in directly on CleverMining.com or NiceHash .

Can't read Chinese, so wouldn't know how to order.
Do they even ship international given they are only advertising in China?

Given the max lifetime of the HW seems to be 2 months, not sure how that is profitable for the purchaser.

Bitmain isn't selling them world wide yet and may not or on there world wide site, you can see the them on there Chinese site and buy them there, i think on the buy part ...  .Ive seen them on there Chinese site sorry don't have link anymore but some one in this post, posted it i believe ...

It's good step from bitmain but why I can't to see information about antminer L3 on bitmain's website? Despite that fact I have seen them on amazon, ebay and aliexpress, also there are reviews on googlr but ehy isn't it on bitmain? Isn't it officially in massive sell? Or there are betas on websites?
BTW seems good miner and it's already popular on litecoin forums. Which one is better, baikal or this?

I'm sure you will get it, only reason i buy it off eastshore they are the cheapest ones Ive found any place that sell real gear of all most any of the new stuff  ...  and are Honest reseller's .

I should put my 2 up on Flea-Bay at $2500 each!!  Makes ROI plus some!!

Sigh i was just about to buy one off eastshore but do plan to buy another A4 tube form them sense the A4s are running better for me sense INNOSILICON sent me the firmware beta 203 , 204 i was told is suppose to fix a lot more if not just about everything . that they are working on . who knows they may figure out a way to lower the power usage more with software, which is very possible. i may even buy one or two A2 yet but so far i have yet to because i get the feeling I wasn't meant to and i could have ...
