Should I be concerned?
Yesterday I received my L3+, it seemed to work stable at ~504MH/s. This morning I realized a reduced hashrate, looking at the "Miner Status" reveals, that one blade is not hashing, all ASICs were marked with X.
Luckily a reboot seemed to solve this issue, lets hope it will not happen again...

Could you show some picture ??

I am interesting to get 1.

Will do so next time, as I said the reboot solved it (until now).

Don't mind me asking, On real world, how many LTC can you mined with a 504mh/s per day?

i know this is a bit late but i mine about 9 ltc a day with 4 l3+'s and 1 5 cube titan at coinotron. the 5 cube titan is missing 1 cube because the pci-e connector blew out so im working on getting that fixed when i get some free time during the weekend. the titan is mining at 320mh/s for the time being so i would say in or about 1.5-2 ltc per day with the l3+ with variations depending on pps and what pool you use not to mention fees and so on.

i had to reboot one of the miners after running for almost 5 days....one of the boards showed all x's but that miner runs cool at 58 degrees c -62 degrees c per board so after a quick reboot everything was back to normal. i noticed before i rebooted it when the miner does this the hashrate listed on the main page is weird. for example it showed the AVG hasrate at 450mh/s (i underclock this one because of the noise like i said before) but the RT column showed 1.5xxxxx and the x's are random numbers. coinotron reported it mining at 370mh/s so maybe the board issue comes from some interface error after running for a long period of time? maybe an "auto reboot every few days" option would be a good thing to have but so far i dont consider this "issue" much of an issue. if the temps were high i would but i think bitmain did it right this timeby spreading the hashrate over 4 boards instead of cramming a ton of chips onto 3 boards. there is a huge temp difference between the s9 and l3+ and that cant all be due to the difference in coin being mined. i honestly hope they implement this 4 board design into their future btc miners to give them a bit more room to breathe....it feels like it would reduce the number of failures others have had and that its way more forgiving temp wise since they run at such low temps to begin with.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention my l3+'s came with a beaglebone controller again....not the controller bitmain made to replace the beaglebone on the newer gen s9's. this is cool mainly because it means if you have your own full fledged beaglebone controller with a working usb and controller for the tx and power (bitmain uses bare bones beablebone blacks with no usb and other components to save money on making them) we should be able to use a wifi dongle again! right now im using tp-link external wifi ap's that need 5v power (the internal controller is the same as the one used on old avalon miners) which is a pain because i need a long usb cable and a pwer brick for the tp link controller but if you use the beaglebone with usb and a compatible wifi dongle you should be able to connect up to wifi networks just fine. I havent ever flashed a beaglebone black or backed up the image so if anyone has the bitmain firmware image (not the upgrade package but the full firmware image) i can flash one of mine an see if wifi works on it and report back. i dont suggest using wifi unless you need to and for 2 of the miners i would need to run wifi so i dont have long ethernet cables running accross the room.

The ability to reimage one of these controllers is the problem I have right now. I pinged Bitmain to find out if I can remimage the card from the SD card on the board and they told me that is not supported. So I have to send the controller back to them. Please let me know if you know how to reimage one of these. I suspect my controller is probably fine, but the image has somehow gotten corrupted. Otherwise it will have to go out to Bitmain. Let us know what you come up with.

The Wifi thing is interesting. I would like to know how this is done also. Would provide a lot more flexibility in my miner placement. Grin

Wifi is a very interesting option in my opinion. Now from past experience with bitmain and their miners it seems they use the same firmware for all of their miners...they have you load the stock image and then you load the firmware package for the specific miner you run. I was also told the firmware restore option wasnt available for the l3+ but thats not 100% true lol. I remember when i used to repair cointerra miners people shipped to me...it started getting harder and harder to find the firmware downloads for that miner and links were dyin left and right so i made an image of the bbb controller card using an sd card and a program loaded that auto copies the entire flash memory chip and its partitions to the micro sd card in a nice neat little image file. It also did the same in reverse if you changed the lines of code in the config file. The same should apply to the l3+ since it uses a bbb. If i back the firmware up i can remove the bbb and replace it with one of the cointerra ones i have left over and sitting collecting dust. The cointerra bbb's r full blown cards so they have every component including the much needed usb port and controller components for tx and power. I dont suggest hooking a high power device like a usb hdd or anything like that to the bbb if you replace it because we all know bitmain designs their boards to use what is needed and not much more than that so the traces for power tend to be very tiny. Since they use the same firmware accross the board the wifi option should pop up once a compatible micro usb dongle is attached or at least thats the hope.

I placed an order for a micro sd card so i can back up the image and try it on my spare bbb's. Idk if it would work but i dont see any reason y it wouldnt. I would just like the option of having wifi again! Something that was taken for granted during the s1/3 days and seen as un reliable by many was one of the best options for these miners! I wont use it with every miner but it would reduce the clutter a bit with all the tp-link aps i have connected to miners not close enough to the switch or when my router has no available ethernet connection lol. When my card comes in i will try all of this out. If it fails i lose $10....so no biggie.
