Update:
Our L3+ is up and running.  I have it on nicehash currently, paying out BTC to the NastyFans donation address.  You can monitor it here: https://www.nicehash.com/miner/1NastyFRkeUTmMdbMmzggDVTQA6r3ibUoX

Very cool, glad to hear that it is up and running!

Looks like our L3+ had an error and shut down overnight...  I updated the firmware, switched it to a new wireless access point, changed the network cable, and it appears to be operating again.  Hopefully this isn't an ongoing issue.  I'll try to keep my eye on it.

EDIT: My wireless network seems to be going a bit crazy.  After a couple hours of troubleshooting I think I've got it all playing nicely now.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  I have way too many wifi devices...

Nice!  Happy to see the new hardware chugging along, always hate getting the things initially stabilized with new hardware.   Are we anticipating picking up any More L3+'s based on what we're seeing so far? 

Also for some of the comments earlier concerning mismanagement - I'd just like to note as a long term member of NastyFans, I've not once had trouble or concerns in OgNasty's transparency or management decisions.  He's always been very open to addressing specific questions or concerns via direct messages.   I think there's been some frustration over folks who have invested in seats via bitcoin who have since seen bitcoin perform at higher levels than what the return they received from NastyFans.  To this I'd also note I "invested" 3 BTC in some alpaca socks many years ago, at the time it was an equitable trade made for something of value to me.  Yes, sitting on it may have been the wiser move, but as a NastyFan, I've invested in a long term contribution to the security and stability of the block chain.   The other thing for me, is that I've since long ago stepped out of the mining space personally, relying on folks like Nonnakip and OgNasty to take care of the day to day operations, and they've also continued to make the investments in new hardware and setting up the infrastructure to support all of this - and for this I'm very grateful.    We've been through a few rounds of discussions concerning management, and while I think it's important that there is accountability, this isn't and has never been a fly-by-night operation to fleece members - if it was it would have shut down years ago like so many other mining groups.
