hey philipma1957 - may I check with you, if you had a choice between building a rig and buying with the same funds a portfolio of top 10 currencies. What would you choose?
thanks
If I could have 10000 usd of gear or coins
in my case I would want some bitmain L3+ ltc miners and some avalon 741 btc miners.
not that I don't like gpu's but I am gpu heavy and need some asics like the avalon 741 and the bitmain L3+
maybe 7 avalon 741's and 2 L3+
My ratios are
gpu's 15x 1080 ti's ------------------ I include psu's mobos etc 10k
s-9's 3x ----------------------------------------------------------- 3k
r-4 1x ----------------------------------------------------------- 1k
721 3x ----------------------------------------------------------- 2k
741 1x ----------------------------------------------------------- 1k
cash 6k ---------------------------------------------------------- 6k
coins btc, bcc ---------------------------------------------------- 7k
debt ------------------------------------------------------------ 0
so about 30k no debt all profit I feel I am heavy in gpus and lite on asic gear
Yes, balanced mining portfolio is key to long term profitability - my group is about 60% Asics ATM in all three main algos - SHA256, X11 and Scrypt.
Get them L3+ , when you can, buy direct from Bitmain -- the resellers are selling them for up to 3x premium.
Yes, my group has L3+ running for about 2 weeks now.... its looking good - I expect ROI very fast (about 40-45 days).
The L3+ joined the existing A4s Scrypt farm, and they make more money currently being rented out (Nicehash).
LTC has made a good pop above $60, I am tracking this closely but my group's policy is ROI first before coin accumulation and long position, so it will stay selling hash for now.
