For those of you mining litecoin with L3+, how much litecoin are you ACTUALLY generating per day? And have there been any sharp decreases in this amount? I don't want links to profit calculators please...
I'm debating whether or not to buy more L3+'s vs S9's given the lower cost of the L3+s. The breakdown I was thinking is either:
(18) L3+'s and (10) S9's
Or just go all in with 40 L3+'s
Profits seem to be about the same compared to an S9 and, at about half the price, seems like a better investment (esp considering electricity demands of the units). I'm making about .0011 BTC per day on each of my two S9's (about $22/day).
I assume you meant about $11/day each = $22/day total...
I haven't gotten my L3 yet but I've followed mining for a while. At one point in the not so distant past the S9 was pulling in $30+/day, at that time L3s were bringing <$20/day since bitcoin pretty much leads the pack most of the time and litecoin hadn't increased in value as much.
The L3 seems to be holding pretty well in the ~$10-20/day range, while the S9 fluctuated from ~$10-30/day range. All that being said, I personally like the fact that the L3 isn't as power hungry, and I like the litecoin project so I'm going to give it a shot.
I think you will make more over time if you went S9 unless there is a huge influx of next generation miners before you ROI...
