Topic: Launching the Antminer L3+, World's Most Powerful and Efficient Litecoin Miner - page 52. (Read 284882 times)

I was going to give prohash a try to see how it compares to nicehash, but it seems they are truly maxed out lol. They won't let me register, it says that there are already 20,000 users and they are maxed out.

bitmain website crashed 

Just make sure you click the box that the miner turns off over 80°C and put the fan speed on a steady 90% or 97%. This will cool the miners chips a lot more.

Those are Celsius temps bit also they are fine. Remember those are the actual "chip temps". It seems crazy but they are fine at those temps F. The chips have Heat syncs on them that dissipate that heat very quickly. The L3+ doesn't start cooking off until > 70 c. D3's start eating themselves > 72-74C The S9's....geeez who knows. Those things are Tanks! I don't like it when they go North of 80c but mine still run fine there. Unbelievable. I make sure they stay below 74-76c.

I'm fine with getting an L3+ (if you use fiat and not crypto) on an expected price pump of LTC and scrypt-pow...but to use crypto now at this difficulty
on the hope of crypto rising ..you are better off holding your coin..than using it on equip imho

an example is those using btc before the pump and getting equip after

so take out a loan...buy a unit that way for giggles....if you get in trouble with the loan than cash out some of your crypto hoard...hopefully at a better price

I'm off the wagon for using crypto for equip at this point in time ...via bitmain  prices and current difficulty and 2-3 month arrival

So if you are betting on a price pump to justify your equip, just mine what you got and hodl , you can always revist using crypto for equip later

as to the titans 2014 was an ugly year ..I had a tagline like my 'never to roi piece of sh*t knc titans....1.80 LTC etc was annoying

luckily, the knc titans are too frigging evil to die......touchy bas*ards that they are....( I never could make eye contact in basement when doing laundry with them
or they would get miffed and brick themselves)


anyway, my take on current bitmain toasters

Searing L3+ will ROI don't worry
You remember that you was crying at the past with your TITANS and the early batch of L3+s  that you will not ROI ... and you ROI !
Litecoin + other srypt coins are attracting investors ....

Celsius always 

Thank you! I just wanted to verify my thinking and bounce it off of you guys.. ON a side note, I got 2 of the L3's hooked up and running. Do these run hot? I attached a picture below of the temps and was wondering if those are Celsius or Fahrenheit? My last S9 was Fahrenheit and it usually ran about 70 - 72 and I kept it cool. As it is, it is really cool inside my mining room right now and I have a fan on both of them..plus its winter. So i'm wondering because if the picture below is of Celsius, wouldn't that equate out to about 130 fahrenheit? Just confused because I don't see how they could be 53 Fahrenheit, but I also don't see how they could be 130 Fahrenheit because it is cool in here and the miners themselves are cool to the touch. I'd say its about 65 degrees Fahrenheit currently in here.

Since APW5 have 2600W run in 240V, you may power up 1 L3+ (700W-800W) and 1 D3 (1000W-1200W) and even with 2 D3 will do.

Surely this should be relocated to the altcoin mining section though.  >>> yeah I think so that bro, , the altcoin mining section though

I'm getting between $15 and $17 before electric.  It also depends how many times it switches to the failover.

Guys, how about that:


Never tried it, does it make a difference? I was thinking that setting a fixed difficulty will prevent it from mining different coins, thus making the multipool useless, but I guess I deserve my nickname .

well the 'what to mine' calcultor shows this

Litecoin is $13.23 / day. See above link for other flavors of coin.

guys, what about day earnings $ with 1 L3+ on Mining dutch  or Prohashing?

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll probably start with nicehash and go from there

I actually have the APW5 which has 20 connectors  I was just wondering if it is feasible. I am waiting for my APW3's to come in the mail as well. I had bought some APW3's for the L3's but they "ran out of raw materials" so they gave me 50 dollar coupons for every one I had ordered and then switched them out with regular APW3's (10 connectors).

I use Nicehash (pays in BTC only) for L3+ and granatgas for D3 (pays in a coin of your choice).

L3+ PSU is different from the D3, L3+'s PSU has 18 connections and D3's PSU only 10. At least those are the ones I've got.

I just got my 3 L3+ in and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good pool? I'm leaning towards nicehash although I've never used it. What do you guys think? Does nicehash payout in LTC or do they payout in something else? I was also considering granatgas as a second or if someone thinks they are better maybe use them as my primary.

Also, I have 2 APW5's coming in the mail, do you guys think it will be ok to run 2 LTC miners off of 1 miner and then 1 L3+ miner and 1 D3 miner off of the other? I'm running 240V with really good thick wiring including the PSU cord. I saw the APW5 was rated for up to 2600. Although if I had 1 L3+ and 1 D3 on it I would only be at about 2000 to 2100 maximum. Any thoughts?

" Procrash" is going down more than a cheap hooker these days. They have too many miners and need to expand. As soon as the network gets too crowded they boot your miner. Honestly I've been renting my L3+ Hash on Nicehash. It's rock solid and pays very steady. They are always at the top of profitability for Scrypt. You may get a few more cents on switching pools but they are real PITA lately. I use Nicehash for primary and GranatGas as first fail over, then Prohashing for 3rd. I can count on one and in the last 2 months the number o times my units failed over off of Nicehash. On Procrashing, it's 2-3 times a day. Sucks.

Hey Guys quick question, sorry if it has been answered already but I scanned the thread a little bit and can't really find it... What is the most profitable way to mine litecoin is it prohash? Or another litecoin pool?

Thanks

Hm ... strange ... I was trying to use http://poolpicker.eu/table?algo=scrypt

and it gives there better results for Zpool for the last 3 days

(I've tried Zpool for 1 week earlier, but stopped because I heard some bad reviews for them stealing, didn't occur to me but I decided not to risk it)

As for Prohashing, never tried it as First pool (due to their enormous BTC withdraw threshold), but according to their own graph their profitability is less (or do they have problems with their own stats also ? ) :

8th - 0.00000480 BTC
7th - 517
6th - 488
5th - 538
4th - 487
3rd - 518
2nd - 529

According to this they were the best pool only on 2nd Nov, when we don't have the stats from Nicehash ...

So ... I don't know should I believe such stats or not... All I know is that every time I switch to another pool cause it's more profitable according to the poolpicker, the one I left takes the lead ... I'm feeling like a black sheep already !
