I am also frustreted to see  how my investments melt, but I understand that GW tokens will bring me 30% return each year, at least, even if I my miners all become unprofitable.  

Wait i've clearly missed something, how do you get 30% return? Is there a passive income included or something?
Sure, because you can rent out your free wtt tokens, if you don't use them.


If YOUR miners become unprofitable, ALL the other miners are becoming unprofitable as well...

99.9% of the miners running in the Pods are Antminer....
You all have the same electricity cost and will not find someone to rent your token to if the miners are not profitable anymore  Cheesy

And my Miners are officially not profitable anymore Cheesy

-21 cents per day on 4 machines. Let see what the next weeks bring, maybe I turn them off if the price drops further or diff keeps climbing like that.


And yes, I also believe we should face that L4 is real and hashing. I fully believe humanity is stupid in general, but I doubt we find that many idiots buying L3++ in the last couple of weeks, that we can rule out the existence of L4 and blame diff increase on them...

We cannot force people to stop buying roster from bitmain, some people out there have different mindset from ours
Also bitmain will keep "playing" with the unit price

There is no shortcut for income, and mining with asic is a very very risky business especially for small miner


Of course, I am also crying on a first world problem lol My miners are from Batch 2/3 from last year. They paid off in crypto long time ago, but whatever mindset people have, even in the last 2 weeks or 4 weeks, calculators were showing 1year + ROI or something. Who would buy if you risk running over MC=MR

I doubt people with enough money to buy big are that careless with their moeny Cheesy

How many people actually bought L3++? Who would do that lol

I just checked diff and ROI and my old miners would be 2000 days lol

Now compare that to the new prices, it would still be over 1 year no?

Selling a used 100% working D3 for $200 shipping included from NYC. Message me.

Dang, that's a rock bottom price lol. How much hashpower is this one? Includes power supply?


I doubt the PSU is included. This alone would be worth 200 bucks already with shipping and import tax lol

Network hashrate has been skyrocketing in the last few days as I suspect this latest batch of cheap L3’s are coming online. Difficulty about to jump another 8% or so in a few hours.

https://www.coinwarz.com/difficulty-charts/litecoin-difficulty-chart

Difficulty was 7.1 a week ago and now 8.3. That is a 14% increase.
Difficulty was 5.7 a month ago and now it is 8.3. That is a 31% increase.


Increase of difficulty in 1.1 in a week is madness. Total difficulty is 8.3 now.
That means that in just 8 weeks, we can possibly add 8.8 increase in difficulty....which is higher than the current 8.3.

If mining difficulty double, that means the litecoin amount mined is halved.
Litecoin price has to double to enable miners to mine at same profitability, if difficulty were to double.


If litecoin price does double, u make 100% gains by buying and holding ltc. If u were mining, u will be mining at higher profitability for awhile, and in just 8 weeks, mining difficulty can go back up to lower your profitability back to the same levels as before.


However, it is unlikely litecoin difficulty will go up at same pace since litecoin mining equipment price has increased now.
Still, there is too much asic production capacity.


So, lets hope no new stronger machines and no new asic manufacturer appear because we have too much asic production capacity as it is.
I dont understand why some people want more asic manufacturers and more healthy competition lol because competition leads to lower asic prices and far higher increases in mining difficulty as we have just seen. This leads to those at the bottom of the food chain, aka miners, earning far less lol.


This is the same for other algorithms currently.

Or search for latest blissz firmware.
Easy overclocking and lower power usage.

I am at 570mhz and still 800watt

Can you tell me your frequenzy as well as voltage?

I tried to tweak around but it did not make a lot of change to it. My one miner is running again (bitmains firmware suddenly stoped working and a re-flash did nothing)

Bu I get 900W or so at the same Mh output

I just checked the calculators for the first time in weeks...

It is not pretty that's for sure. Good thing I did not check 3 days ago when prices were 114. I might have shut down my miners for now  Sad


About time to look for a cheaper data centre with better electricity prices :/  Because with 70 bucks profit a month on multiple machines, it's not going to last long.

Only good, they already ROI. Still a shame to have functioning machines

how long is the ROI on them , atm?


There are calculators for that... Simple google search would have given you a good guess.

Calculate around 200+ days given the low LTC price, the increasing diff and your electricity costs


Mine are doing a whopping 2.50 profit a day per machine (and mine are overclocked)

I'd say what is my 'thumb rule' with almost all asics, below 90C to avoid miner failure and below 80C for longer life time.

okay then at  the under clock my gear is great.

I should have ordered these sooner.

6 of them is only 6 x 725 = 4350 watts

at the underclock  of freq 344
  
fans set to 35%  running at 2,640 and 3,540  this is bearable.

I can run six of them on a single  30 amp pdu  as 24 x 240 = 5760 watts  and I will be at 4350 watts




Why would you underclock them, if they are very stable OC?

I run mine on 580-590mh for months without a problem so far. Just saying, temps are under 65°C, Fan speed 95% or so, nothing to complain about Smiley

I just sent a LCC payment and it only took 54 seconds to confirm. That's much quicker than LTC. Crazy how fast this coin is, thinking about buying me some more!!! Smiley Great work team.

Ive had 30 second transactions, from cryptobridge to wallet. 30 seconds from send to desktop notification.  Shocked Grin
I'm so happy with LCC, the team and most of all, the community and increasing support. This is going far and as an accepted form of payment coming to a business near you  Smiley




The only reason it is that fast, is that nobody is using it right now... 

I can count numerous other coins, that are just as fast but have a heavy usage compeared hahah 


Let's wait 2 years and talk about it again

@ suchmoon  a few members gave me some $200 coupons  bitmain  has  yet to do so.

O ordered a 4th unit today.

@searing   the solar array  will do 20kwatt of power 24/7/365 for the next 6 months.

we don't have that much used at the moment.


I also may mine the L3+s with  yun9999

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3163135.msg32775347#msg32775347


my 12c kWh self here...hates you...(that in that where you live is friggin WARM..unlike Minnesota!)



Snowing like mad as I type  late snowstorm for us  but we have had them as late as april

I got a hold of a 450 coupon paid 100 for it

so I ordered a fifth L3+

will get a sixth  and be power capped

do these use 900 watts at the wall?



I pull 900-920 but OC them to 580mh.

They probably could do more, but I don't want the chip temperature to go above 65°C.  But they run stable for almost 3 months on OC now. The first couple month were stock

Is it just me or is prohashing kinda low atm


I had some payout problems and switched to litecoinpool.org and got what I was promised, but when I switched back to prohashing, it was almost half of the profitability


Now I am mining for some time, but maybe I fucked up somewhere?  Why would it be so low compared to a single coin pool?

I only ever go by LCC/BTC Price, its been steady and people are trading it and making money, Dont go by dollar value because yobit is skewing it, you join the discord yet? good discussions in there https://discordapp.com/invite/F2nZXnW

How much lower can Litecoincash go yesterday it was $1 now it's 60 cents that were a big crash I should have sold when it hit $2 anyway this is an airdrop might as well wait for a few months who knows what could happen to Litecoincash I hate looking at the chart and to see it drop to 20 cents.



exactly. Don't look at Dollar. It's stupid and misleading most of the time.

The goal should be to increase BTC holdings. If they increase due to trading and investing all is good.

And for LCC, I mean come on guys it was free. I don't know anyone who actually bought LCC or LTC for the fork.

Re: [NEW] Bitmain Announces Antminer A3
by
Albortz
on 28/02/2018, 17:22:20 UTC
It is kind of scaring me that the March batch of Antminer A3's are not sold out yet.  Why are people not buying these when the Return on the Investment is soo much higher than any of the other miners being sold.  Using the mining calculator you supposedly can be in profit after 30 days or less.  I hope when the March orders come in that will still be the case or at least somewhere close to that vicinity.  I guess we will see.


Because prices of crypto is declining for weeks and the gold rush mentality is kinda gone. I like it, but after I read up on A3 with Obeliscs coming I would not touch them for that price. Ok I cant access the website most of the time anyway so it's more the "I don't sit in front of the computer and be frustrated reason"

but still, after the D3 and with hard forks lurking around that could ban A3 from the network people became a bit wiser I guess

Re: Antminer L3+ OVERCLOCKED !!! HOT !!! full review with LOTs of pics

on 22/02/2018, 15:57:23 UTC
I run my own L3+ using APW3++ (1600W) on 220v supply. With these I find the best results with the following settings:
475M 100% manual fan speed - 620Mhash
462M 100% manual fan speed - 600Mhash

Some miners get higher hardware errors above an acceptable level at 475M so they are set at 462M. We are able to run all miners at these two settings and have consistently low hardware errors (max 0.2% and usually less than 0.1%). We have not had hardware failures over many months on these settings.


What temperatures do your chips have and how do you cool them?  Mine are in a data center with 18°C cold air but my chips run as hot as 65-70°C with only 450M and 580MH
