Re: Launching the Antminer L3+, World's Most Powerful and Efficient Litecoin Miner
How do the pools setup work? why are there 3? does it switch?
Bitmain has traditionally used a "rollover" setup on pools, so that if pool 0 is down the miner will use pool 1 and if pools 0 and 1 are both down it will use pool 2.
They normally autoswitch back to a lower pool number when it comes up, IME with the S5, but it might take several seconds to a minute to do so when it does so.
IMO those folks asking $3500 are way high on their price - I could see charging $2000 as a "available now" surcharge but IMO $3500 is a blatant eBay-level ripoff.
I just sold my L3 hash on hashnest for over 0.29 LTC / MH ... that works out to over the $3500 L3 miner at LTC prices this morning. If the market is there it isn't ripping people off. People don't have to buy and people don't have to sell for low prices.
I agree i think $3500 are justified... to be honest I also sold half my hash for 0.2949999 Mhs/LTC recuperated my intital $1900 investment left with 268Mh/s i think i will just let it run to mine some LTC as LTC just broke through $34 on Gdax and it looks like $50 is possible.
me I just mine at 25% off the expected taxes I would have to pay on income I get off 100% off gross income ..again 25% off equipment in real $$$ saved I would have had to pay
the IRS...I just run them down to doorstops....it works quite well actually (2015 not so much) but still
so a 1370 may 15th order of 4 is (not including shipping I forget what that was) so say 1370 x 4 = $5580.00 usd at 25% off is = $ 1370 savings x 75% ...so...in my case that is buy 4 get one FREE vs what I can mine out of them...I'm good
and again legal miner USA paying income tax to IRS...but hell this works dandy whatever...cost of doing business...if you can get the equipment at the right time and coin pumps that is
IT is not very complicated (ducks...hey don't throw stuff at me in the thread!)
Dumb and lucky..sometimes it is just dumb and lucky wins the race
