I have been GPU mining for about 5 months. I am on the fence a little regarding ASICs. Both philosophically and financially.

Would the L3+ be a good way to dip my toe in the ASICs water?

Any noobie caveats for ordering and paying Bitmain?

Thanks, Frankie

I have been mining bitcoin only for a few years before I started to open to door the GPU (alt).

Litecoin is doing great there days. I almost bought a few L3 but I'm short in electricity at my hosting ... so i want to replace my S7 with other btc miners.

It would be nice buy with the 420$ coupon.

My opinion is yes, it should be a good idea to get an L3, they looks like way more reliable then the S9 which is the main reason i'm not going for any bitmain bitcoin miner anymore.

How loud are they if you compare them to the A741 for exemple ?

Everyone mining ZEN, it looks like the miners are about to get screwed big time as more of the block reward gets diverted to shady "supernodes" and "securenodes":

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.34458806

I'm giving some serious think [sic] as to whether I want to continue mining this coin now.

Well if you have 43 coins, it's time for a node !

L3+ only $462 - $200 coupon.
They must have a new more powerful model coming out??

Was thinking that myself. I have a couple $420 coupons was thinking of getting some of those for next to nothing.

Only $220 or below coupons work for this batch of L3+.

good to know I used a 200 and paid

462 + 99 = 561 - 200 = 361

Do you have any $200 coupons for sale ?

I can give you a 100 for free.

you should get one if it is 462 + 100 = 562 - 420 it is only 142 bucks.

these downclock and can run pretty quietly.

or overclock and run loud your choice.

Agreed.

So far, I found RVN and ZEN are also better on SUPRNOVA. I've put approximately 50% of my nVidia mining capacity on each. Normally, I just mine the most profitable coin at the moment...which is RVN. However, I am hoping ZEN will be as good in the long term as predicted and have started to accumulate it.

http://xvg-mg.idcray.com/ seems to be the best pool for mining XVG Myriad Groestl on a Baikal X10.

@ sNaKeyz0r91,

Mining XVG Lyra with nVidia GPUs is very good now ....but the profits are twice as good in mining RVN. Here's the RVN profit calculator:

http://ravencalc.xyz/

It's pretty easy to mine RVN and sell it for BTC on Crypto Bridge.

I moved my AMDs to mine PIGN at Suprnova for a few days now with good rewards since the diff is low ...

Dev shared that they have completed the listing application and payment to Crypto-Bridge Exchange.

Expect PIGN to be right there along side RVN, the first two coins based on X16R and X16S.

If you in the mood for some casino luck and take your mind away from the Bitcoin charts.... PIGN maybe your consolation...

Speaking of CB / RVN, a quick heads up for ppl mining RVN and using Crypto Bridge--you may have already heard this, and precise details elude me--but a 36 million RVN sell wall appeared on the exchange, with no corresponding footprint in CB's ledger, and stayed around for 4-5 hours to the astonishment and speculation of everyone on RVN discord at the time (including me). Some panic sold.

Apparently, someone bought 3600 RVNs and a bug credited him with 36 million, which he then immediately tried to sell. The consensus was that the exchange noticed the error, created another account, and "purchased" it to get it out of there. Many recriminations against CB ensued with some refusing to ever use it again. I have no idea what happened but hope it gets listed on more exchanges soon.

Yeah the difficulty has gone up allot on PGN.... I was quite enjoying the amount of coins I could get with a single 1080 Ti about 10-12 days ago when I pointed a GPU from my personal machine at it. I'm hoping that X16r and X16s really take off this year since I like what both development teams are trying to do.

I remember back in September when we tried to do a group buy with them it fell apart; as a result of their plans to go public.

That's why all the pallets from that point on needed to be handled with a bank wire; the group wanted/needed to pay with BTC.

I never really thought on it after that I'm surprised they ran into so many issues.

Any pointers on getting a miner that is stable for RVN?

I've tried a few of them that are linked in the ANN thread. I think they're all ccminer variants. None of them will run longer than 10 minutes without crashing my rig, rigs that are stable 24/7 for days mining Zcash with EWBF's Zcash CUDA miner. 0.3.4b.

I have found that I have to reduce the core OC by 20 or 25 on Linux to make Enemy ccminer stable with 1070 and 1080 Ti rigs compared to what I use for equihash. Since RVN is a mix of 16 algos, finding the sweet spot is a challenge.

I still use the latest enemy build in SMOS and it works great.

However, if you mine at Suprnova, you can use the inhouse Suprnova Miner - it can do x16R (RVN) and x16S (PIGN) - works as good as the other miners and best thing is no dev fee! Its also listed in SMOS, otherwise download at https://github.com/ocminer/suprminer

The X16R algo that RVN uses will push your cards and PSU to the peak - "R" for random.

The X16S algo that PIGN uses however, was designed to normalise X16R and smoothen the hash peaks and power spikes - "S" for shuffle.
