bitmain is using cheap electricity a 1GH for 500w not enough powerful, I'm sure it is 5GH or above for 1600w this is how they managed to increase the difficulty.

Diff on LTC now 9758801.1623634

Is not worth the invest right now, stop buying L3+ guys, now you get less than 2 usd daily in proffit, and it will be lower, it was 20 usd only 5 months ago, in 3 months you will pay
more for electricity than you mine.

Stop buying L3+  , lets give Bitman a lesson, they need to stop building this like toasters.

They are not, they are probably deploying their 16nm scrypt chips to their data centers now, any L3+ for sale are probably their old units they are swapping out. We will probably be seeing their 1GH 500 watt miner for 2k USD by june for sale, after they have ROIed their own stuff of course.

It is just lower priced miners. This creates huge sales of miners and major difficulty increase. I mention this a number of pages back already. My worry is that L3+ is on 28nm. If a l4+ 16m appears, it will wipe out the L3+ because it should be 3 times stronger. I hope they dont appear as there is no real viable competitor to L3+. Innosilicons is only 20% more efficient but cost too much more and is already on 14/16nm. So, the L3+ leads the market.
ALL evidence suggests that not only is the "L4 a reality, but it is already hashing away in China on a large scale. The S11 as well. Folks better wake up. It's not like Bitmain didn't severely telegraph this upcoming release of new tech.

What evidence?
As Albortz previously stated, massive difficulty spikes of late. Not very feasible that those are being driven by massive sales of legacy miners eg; L3+ L3++ S9 etc etc. Also, why do you guess ALL of the Bitmain coupons expire by end of June? Why do you guess they have been firesale'ing legacy technology. My guess is clearing the shelves of legacy inventory to squeeze every last drop out of the last amazing run they've had. To make room for the next one. July or August will be the announcements.
