Lucky guy and smart to send it in different shippings. But not practical with a lot of them   Imagine you need to drive to customs 300 times

The backlog of July 3 batches of bitmain L3+'s 505mh in July

Most of assume a 100% plus diff rise when they splash into the pool. Not
To mention bitmain could add to their own data halls and hashnet on top of
That.

Just saying my 1 tag along unit I'm getting L3+ I'm assuming if lucky an
11 month roi.

Hope you are right thou. But how I see it

Also with the recent btc bull its hard to lock up funds in advance.  Total disaster would be if btc really spikes, LTC lags and bitmain saturates the market with L3s, too much unknown.  2 months is a long time in crypto

After a few days of testing, I went ahead an updated the firmware. I know only the remote disable feature was disabled, but I did do a power cycle down for ~10 sec and restarted. My chain 1 and 3 show 19 and 16 HW errors and the other chains are at zero after 24hrs. The rate and number of HWs as lowered. Not sure if it's just variance, power cycle, or more burn in that's giving me these numbers.

I am going to to take Longsnowsm's advice and crank the fans up to %75, then send it to a data center. That tunnel sound!!!

July batch is avail still on the bimain site

www.bitmain.com

but be aware difficulty is going up big time due to bitmain kicking out units like toasters..thus use a calc like

www.litecoinpool.org/calc (free pool no fee pays at 103% and the 3% is included in the calc...but gives you a ballpark figure)

So anyway difficulty has gone up 100% on LTC in last month.thus any static machine in the barn you own is now making 1/2 the coin

now vs 1 month  ago. The above calculator DOES NOT have difficulty increases...so be aware to add your best 'guess' of what this may be

worse case scenario ..by the time you got a July miner at the end of that month

if price of LTC goes to 50 bucks you are golden...if it goes back down to 15 bucks maybe not so much

bitmain also offers hashnet and for 1850 vs buying a miner for 1300 in july at the end of the line ..will turn it on for you in 3 days max...but you are paying like

860 for the privilege of beating difficulty by 2 months plus and still pay a fee/elec/rent/etc to bitmain for this cloud hosting

anyway that is the bet you are making ....to be truth if you are just counting on a price pump in LTC you are probably better of just guying LTC imho

others can chime in here....on here.....with better advice then me

Much louder than the L3, but less than A4 or Antminer S9. But unfortunately too loud for my wife having it in the garage.
Well, I have to admit that our neighours have their garden right next to it and we don't want trouble with them
This wasn't a problem for me, I already planned to send it to Hosting because my energy price is far too high (approx 0.3/USD per kWh).

I tried one of these step up converters at home when the Antminer S7 first came out. I would run it for a number of hours and eventually it would trip the 20A breaker in circuit panel. I ran the same s7's using ATX power supplies and never had one problem with breakers. Decided it might not be safe to use and gave up on it
