I just bought Antminer L3+ 504 Mh/s from Bitmain today.  biggrin.gif

Antminer L3+ = 40 LTC / $ 2136
PSU              = $115
Shipping DHL = $ 91.08
Total              = $ 2342.08

Shipping out date Sept 21 to 30

Previous July batch was only $ 1370. They jack up the price to $2100 because LTC price had increased and become profitable.

You can buy now at cheaper price because LTC price drop slightly compared to this morning.

Thanks, I saw you bought 2 unit ofL3+ to be hosted at giga-watt warehouse.

Only after that, i checkout bitmain for the L3+ availability.  biggrin.gif

lol
I too looked into bitmain L3+ after rayman earleir post
in the afternoon the bitmain site was soo laggy,
was also considering Innosilicon A4 Dominator as an alternative, but specs are not good.

Chelsea-Fan
how did you pay, by visa? or did you buy btc from luno, convert to ltc and pay bitmain?

im currently undecided weather i should get gigawatt to host for me or host it myself.

QUOTE(raynman @ Jul 5 2017, 11:29 PM)
Gigawatt charges 51 LTC for the L3+ which includes PSU and shipping from China to the U.S.
So they make a small profit from their customers who orders from them.  smile.gif
*
raynman i though bitmain is in the usa are their machinese manufactured in china?
also if i buy WTT token, i just need to email them re L3+ and pay them 51 LTC for the L3+ no need to deal with bitmain?
lastly how did you pay for WTT and the L3+? visa? or crypto via luno?
Seems im still having issue with my genesis purchase

Your Zotac cannot mine.?
Who want to mine lower class coins?

they are mining right now.
may start to look for alternative to eth, maybe zcash as they are very similar now in $/W

ha that is very interesting in deed, wonder why you getting such bad results.

Was thinking of getting the Ryzen 5 1500x, that just suites my purpose for the next few years.
I may upgrade to a Ryzen 7 1700 now hehe,

Anyone with 1060 running Claymore 9.7?

If not you should, there is about 8% increases in performance
Ive been running the new optimized ethminer for few days now ever since its came out.
Now seems Claymore has copied the open source code.
from what I can tell the performance between Claymore 9.7 and ethminer is about the same, about 8% increases in hashrate

forgive me if this thing has been explained before.. will it be better to run miner with different worker id for the same wallet address or simply use the same id?.. does it have any effect with the hash rate?.. thanks..
*
i personally have different work all pointing to same wallet.
dont think it effects hashrate either way,
i just like to transfer eth out from pool to wallet fast.

good to know; how to use the ethminer with cmd line? using claymore now

you still use a bat file to start it off just like claymore.
claymore has much more usefull features, that ethminer dont, since its already giving similar performance, i will keep using claymore

between a GTX1060 and RX570 which would be a better candidate for mining ? unsure.gif

you can find RX570??

about 2 weeks ago, the people found out that the dag file is going effect the rx series cards, it does not effect gtx
dag file increase hash rate slowers, the epoc size for ethereum i mean.
i would stick with gtx 1060 for now.

Hi All, I'm a mining noob. I just wanted to check your opinion before I jump onto the mining ship. Was planning to build a 6 gpu rig, either GTX 1070 or 1060, to mine ether or zcash. From what I see, ether is now very hard, but would there be any big risk just mining zcash for consistent money?

I'm afraid if my train of thought is too simple as I see a lot of people selling off their mining rigs. Will mining consistently be profitable? (Although amount of profit goes up and down)

Thank you so much for the advice.

If you are a new, I suggest you stay away from actual mining now its a bad time to get it, if it was 3-4 months ago, then go ahead. now is not a good time to buy eth mining rig, first of all the hardware are extreamly expensive now, POS, difficulty bomb, current weak ETH price but that should be temp. there is no more 3month roi
zcash is not good on 1060, 1070 and 1080ti yes if you can get it at reasonable price, other coins tho not sure, Im actually in the mids researching on mining other coins to hedge my bets.

it took me a very long time to get my 2nd rig done, you need very good PC trouble shooting skills.
Basically took me 2 days to figure out i had multiple issues with pci usb risers and not software, took another day to test each individual PCI/mobo, and full pci/gpu, there are lots of shit quality ones out there now, as high demand low quality.
Once I determine the defective ones, about 1/3 was not usable, 1/3 was ok but had stability issues, lucky I had ordered much more then I needed.
My first batch of riser work 7 out of 7 perfectly. 2nd batch form different supplier was horrible.

If all your hardware is fine and plugged in, it just takes 2-3 hours each PC to setup the software from to finish (flash mobo, install os, updates, miner, driver, etc... start mining.)

another option is do LTC mining using L3+ buy from bitmain.com. I got 2 on its way. its currently more profitable on that, but its noisy as hell. should be much simpler to setup then gpu rig.

Else suggest you better head do cloud mining instead, Im on the LTC plans as well and its also the most profitable one now for cloud mining
https://www.hashnest.com/ (they are actually bitmain.com)

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4345064
there are people there that can help you, lots have join already, just do yourself a favour and dont say i send you there, im the black sheep there.

By the way where are you seeing people selling their mining rigs?
price of 1060 is still way over price, same as 1070.

oh thats not what i heard, maybe they have updated it since, as ati and claymore were looking into a solution, they claim s.g miner (linux) was not effected, but no one can verify that. the was about 1 week ago, i dont follow as it does not effect me. im only have gtx.

Hi Leon, Thanks a lot for the advice. Personally I don't like the idea of using ASICs because I don't want to be tied to a particular coin, that coin die means I die. Also by buying a GPU rig, if I mess up, worst case I can at least sell the GPUs so all is not lost. About people selling their rigs, mostly people in US liquidating their rigs to buy coins as the difficulty increases and ice age coming. Because of POS, Ether is probably only a short term thing. I know currently is the "bad" phase of mining, so was planning to wait for some cheap 1070 cards to pop up as a result.

Can you consistently make enough money mining to replace a full time job? To ang moh it might not look like much, but was estimating 6 x 1070 rig can net you like RM1.5k a month? So if I have 4 of these rigs it could potentially sustain me? I know it's not a get rich quick thing, but 11 or 12 months ROI in business is considered pretty decent already. It feels too good to be true though, so I'm thinking, where is the loophole?

Thanks a lot for your time.
*
True you can always resell your pc mining rig, but you have to know if market crash everyone will dump their gpu, you be lucky if you get say 50% back, as there will be over supply.
Its is more safer then Asics, but with L3+ roi is 3-4 months, but waiting for 3-4 months to deliver
Not sure when you will see cheap 1070

its very hard to predict income, your rig will only last you around 1-2 years, then you will need to upgrade your gpu again.

I mentioned previously people selling off their mining rigs, if you go to the graphics card garage sales you can see all the rx470s, 480s, 580s etc all selling. Previously these cards were hard to come by and now ta-daa suddenly so many for sale. Some posts also just happen to have 6 for sale. Probably more to do with new DAG affecting these cards though.

Calvin, I'm still a mining noob but I think different manufacturer has different cooler attached which does affect how much you can overclock it. Also think they tune them differently but same chip.
*
its more about the memory, samsung memory are the best, cooler not so important as memory for oc, but it is important to if you want it to last.
and you should set your power level to around 65, so it runs cool and save electricity.

Someone said on the L3+
As at today, the global hashrate is 7999 GH/s but on average it's 7,696 GH/s.
*
just looked at previous 3 months graph on hashrate and difficulty, it still seems like its constant, not like eth almost exponential.

Hi guys, thanks for this informative thread.

Can anyone suggest a good motherboard that supports 6 cards for mining that I can get my hand on right now?

lol its very hard to find now days.
I just sold a new asrock h81 last week at cost, sold for RM520. later i went to check lelong all out of stock and they were charging around RM600 now thats crazy.
remember seeing this biostar 12 pci selling for around RM650 i think 2 weeks ago, now they want 1k

there is this biostar available for RM400 but its Ryzen, you pay much more for the cpu tho.

Asus h270-plus . I'm using it and tested very stable with 6 cards. You need to do some bios settings though .

Can pm me if you want the settings. Price should be around rm500++ and last I checked, there's alot of it on most shops
*
wow thanks for sharing, didnt know there was such a board at this price point and still available in the market.
I also looked into it apparently this has 2x m.2 slots, so you can potentially have 8 cards on this mobo.
that biostar only has 1 m.2 slot, i did had mix results on getting it to run, when i have time will try to run 7 card of my biostar.

Mine eth or zcash directly.

Nicehash pays you in BTC as you're selling hashing power. Youre not "mining" the coin directly.
Never ever use Jaxx for long term holding as you dont hold the private keys.

Only keep in wallets where you are in charge of the private key.
*
myeatherwallet, i have private key is that secure? i mean if the website is down can i stil accesss my eth?

coinomi i guess is just an online wallet and i dont hold my private key there for not as safe?

Hi guys, how's the performance of gtx1060 hash rate?
The dag size of ETH gonna increased soon? Which means 4gb of gpu no longer fit as mining gpu?
*
there is no 4gb version, gtx 1060 only 3 and 6 gb
i have both, and and still perform the same. gtx is not effected by dag/epoch size unlike the RX series
last i checked, at current rate i think 3gb can still mine until end of year or early 2018

by the way i head pos is delayed again, can someone verify this?

3 gb can has as much as 6gb, depends on ram, Samsung the best

my asus 3gb dual fan can only do mem 750-900, each card huge different.
zotac 6gb all can do 1000 mem, but i run at 900 more stable.

both my asus and zotac are doing 24-25mhs per card.

you guys should really get the latest claymore 9.7, its has improvement on gtx 1060. i getting about 8% extra hashrate compared to claymore 9.6

D3 i know one guy manage to get 1 unit.
