Okay there are 4 or five miners worth mining ltc/doge with

bitmain

l3+ = 480-550mh 800-900 watts

l7 = 9500mh 3200-3400 watts

innosilicon A6+ 2200mh. 2100-2150 watts

goldshell

L5 pro 2455mh. 3000-3100 watts

L5 2050mh 2080-2150 watts

if you take a good look

bitmain l7 is 19x the hash and 4x the power of the L3

So if you have 2000gh you have 210 l7 as 210 x 9500 = 1995 gh and burns 714kwatts.

you are also making very serious cash.

as 1995 x 0.022499 = 44 ltc a day. 10000 usd

and 44 x 2000 = 88000 doge a day 26400 usd

714 kwatts per hour = 17136 kwatts a day. make it 18000 kwatts a day that is a 18 megawatt complex. or big real big.

so 36000 usd a day earned and at 5 cent power only 900 in power

net of 35000 usd a day.

if you got your l7 gear at 10000 each you are paying 3.5 off a day.

so make it 11700 each you pay off 3 l7's in a day so your 210/3 = 70 day payoff.

Must be nice for that farm. Which if it is in one place is huge.

So just a few hundred of the most powerful miners can explain it. I thought it had to be a botnet situation. That is still an amazing amount of electricity being used, though. Thanks for your response.
