My 8 card 1070 rig blows this thing away, and costs about the same and consumes about the same amount of energy. I am UNDER 800 watts.
The Lyrza2 algorithm for ZCOIN consumes less electricity than the other algos.
I am only making max $20.00 a day on the L3+.
I am making over $100.00 a DAY on my Nvidia GPU rig mining ZCOIN ( now over $100 each coin, I mine about 1 coin a day )
What is the big hoopla regarding ASICS< they suck, and I got suckered with D3, and now L3+, oh well....
I make way more than an S9 also, plus I get paid in Bitcoin, so I still do not see the point of an asic?
Time to build more GPU mining rigs
Would you mind sharing your setup and what you pay for a 1070?
I built this rig over 6 months ago.
You can find the parts on Amazon and just build it yourself following this video:

Great video. I am going to watch it fully once I have time. But it is already looking like so much work to get it build
I fiddled around with GPU mining rigs in 2013. It was a real pita, ongoing tuning, changing and tinkering, including smoking or exploding graphic cards, PSUs and mainboards.
As the ASICs came up I switched and, except for the early generations, its more or less plug and play and forget now. Plus smoke and explosions are much rarer
