Guys, maybe someone knows any news or leaks, about new generation scrypt miners? From Bitmain or another product. Thanks for answer

No news. It is wired that they are doing a fire sale with T9s and everything else they have found in a shad lol

But for script, just remember that they do not have any competition. They got the only and best performing miner on the market. If they build a stronger one, they will use it themselves first, but if they sell the better miner, they just compete with the L3+

That would not make any sense

I would not put it past Bitmain to release a more powerful and efficient Scrypt miner sometime later this year. The L3+ is making +/- $5 per day. Don't think Bitmain will be selling many units with this daily profit.

Why not? Last bubble time ASICS were going for low 100s. You have insider knowledge of how much it actually costs to produce them? I strongly suspect their current production costs arent much higher.

Why? Bitmain is trying to sell the L3+ for $1536 each and deliver in March. Based on this and the current Litecoin stats, these miners will ROI in about 8 months, which we all know won't happen since the difficulty will keep increasing. It's anybody's guess where the LTC price will go. Buying a L3+ today from Bitmain is pretty much hoping that the price Litecoin will appreciate.

Given that Bitmain still has these available, most buyers realize this.

We see this cycle over and over. Experienced miners don't buy these units at the highs. It's all the new entries to the race because they saw insane daily profits. Also those scumbag resellers. Resellers and ignorant miner wanna be's bought 10's of 1000's of the S9's and L3+'s at insane prices. Before this year, I never paid more than $1500.00 for an S9 direct from Bitmain. Soon you'll see those same miners for sale at fire sale prices. It's a larger version of the D3 debacle but the same metric. I bought a D3 at $650.00 roughly 2 weeks after the last deliveries from Bitmain hit the networks.
