Title: Thoughts on Bitmain L3+ Post by: cshelswell on June 03, 2017, 06:02:38 AM just wondering what people's thoughts are on the Bitmain L3+ I had a response from Bitmain asking about shipping, which they said would commence after Aug 28th.
Most calculators I've tried put these unit's in to the profitable range rather than hobbyist. I've been out of mining for a bit and more in to trading. Do folks think these are a good bet? I presume you need a power supply to go with them too? I can probably manage 2 of them but I really am looking for a return. It's winter here in New Zealand so if they make good heaters - even better :) Thanks for any advice Title: Re: Thoughts on Bitmain L3+ Post by: couture on June 03, 2017, 12:11:08 PM They certainly are profitable, some of the batch 1 l3+ have broken even in under a month
The problem is there is a new batch every single month until yours would arrive and all of those batches (and they are big BitMain mass produced batches) are going to whack up the difficulty big time I think that by the tim August comes around they will be earning pennies on the pound... BitMain just pump them out too fast This is probably why their August batch is still in stock; not enough people have forecast enough profitability to go ahead and preorder them Title: Re: Thoughts on Bitmain L3+ Post by: philipma1957 on June 03, 2017, 12:26:54 PM waiting 60 days for gear is a long time. raises risk factors quite a bit.
for the life of me I find it really hard to understand why you want it vs a gpu rig. I can get parts and build this rig below by monday. it earns 23 dollars a day mining zec at nicehash. It cost 1300 2 1080 ti's on sale 349 1 1070 108 1 gigabyte mobo 100 1 psu 30 1 stick of ram 60 1 cpu 1947 total it earns 20 a day mining zec it earns 26 a day mining skein so in 60 days 1 have 1200 to 1560 back - 120 for power so say 1080 back. and you are waiting on the august shipping https://i.imgur.com/dg0TGrW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0YKAiAO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Vyc6l9f.jpg Title: Re: Thoughts on Bitmain L3+ Post by: cshelswell on June 04, 2017, 06:53:30 AM Thanks philipma1957 - sounds like a GPU rig is probably a better option then :)
I thought AMD cards were better for mining or can you get good results on a PC with Nvidia? I've not found I'm able to get very good results with Mac OS GTX980 and a Quadro M4000. It's my main work computer but I was just testing the water to see what it could do. |
