Title: Getting started with "Scrypt" mining
Post by: phytosaw22 on February 04, 2017, 01:37:04 AM
What is the best miner available for Scypt mining? Are GPU's good for Scrypt? What about ASICs?

Try to go for as many antminer L3s as possible, then see if you can't get an IBM 2880W psu with a breakout board. Psu will save you money but it'll run pretty damn loud; depending on price you may need a second one to cover electricity. I'd say the IBM psus are comparable to a hair dryer at times.


Finksy also sells 4KW IBM power supplies if you really want em, but you won't need so much power for your rigs.

How much is an Antminer L3 (without psu?) and how much $usd per day does it make with current prices? also with that algo how often does the difficult rise?
