Any idea why last Aug 3 batch Bitmain originally announced L3+. At the time of order I could not even add L3+ to order. Bitmain was so slow 2 am PST. Any idea why L3+ has such a large demand even though ROI is lot longer than D3? Why such demand for L3+?
I guess because total hashrate compared to what a L3+ brings is very high and it is much more spread between different coins. So the calculated profitability is much more realistic than that for D3.
What do you mean by L3+ Litecoin hasrate is spread over different coins? Which coins?
The L3+ is a scrypt algorithm miner so it can mine coins that use the scrypt algorithm. I am not sure how accurate or complete this list is but if you go here and sort the table by type and then scroll down to POW scrypt you will see a lot of coins.
http://coinwik.org/List_of_all_DCsI am not sure why there is an inconsistency with some being listed as just scrypt and some as POW scrypt but you can see there are a lot. Then scroll down further and look at the list of X11 coins. Those can be mined with the D3 which is an X11 algorithm miner. So one thing worth mentioning is that monetary unit switched from quark to X11 fairly recently and it is accurately listed on there as X11 so it would appear that someone is maintaining the list to some degree.
Thank you no.you for the list of Litecoin compatible currencies using POW Script algorithm. Since L3+ is designed to mine Litecoin at 504MH/s, lets say can you mine Zcash (also POW Script) using it at 504MH/s? Is it a safe assumption?
Ah hell, it does say ZCash is scrypt. Well fuck that list then. ZCash is Equihash not scrypt. If it was scrypt though, then yes the L3+ would be able to mine it at 504Mh/s. I just googled and found that page and posted it to help respond to your question which is why I said I wasn't sure how accurate it was. But if you do your research you can find no shortage of scrypt coins.
http://whattomine.com has a reliable list but it is very incomplete.
So for example the L3+ can absolutely mine (among other things including obviously LTC):
DNotes(NOTE)
DGB-Scrypt(DGB)
AUR-Scrypt(AUR)
Bata(BTA)
GameCredits(GAME)
etc...
But since this is actually the D3 thread I should mention that in addition to DASH the D3 can mine:
Startcoin(START)
Smartcoin(SMC)
Prime-XI(PXI)
DigitalPrice(DP)
etc...
Coinwarz has pretty decent list of 30 Scrypt cryptocurrencies to mine.
