if you would have to choose if to buy 3 Gtx 1070 Ti OR 2 x Antminer L2s which one would you choose?

Don't use a deciding factor the resale value please.

Buy Ethereum. It is very low right now.

I'd rather to do not invest into any antminer till july , soo if u want mining eqiupment i'd recommend you to take 1070Ti and mining Eth + DCR (in dual) or take 1080 ti

Antminer L2 is scrypt based ASIC, means, only scrypt based coins you can mine. May you need to take a look around about scrypt based coin beside LTC. If you found a lot of coins that you can mine with good profitability, go for it.

GTX 1070Ti more flexible in the algorithm. Can mine several algorithms and powerful almost in every coin.

I'll go for GTX 1070Ti.

I would never buy an ASIC machine period... I wouldn't be rushing out to buy any new GPUs for mining either unless the deal was too good to pass up.

My advice which would be to consider that you can always sell your GPU's if you need to and recover much more than if you had bought an ASIC miner. :)

Thanks for the very useful advices!!

the L2 really attract me...hmmmmmmmmmmmm........

Asics get outdated pretty quickly. GPUs are more versatile and retain their value. The 1070ti is a particularly nice card.

I personally suggest purchasing GPUs if saw a flexibility on to mine a coin, more coin can be mined. 1070'ti can mine on ETH or NeoScrypt coins. but at this time, not the right time would be purchasing GPUs except you don't care about time of ROI and income per GPU.

I always advise my friends buy GPU rigs because you could do a lot with it, manage, test, play with it and of course get profit with it. If you could get Asics miner at very first batch, you should grab it, it's a good deal, but if you're late with for example 3rd or 4th batch, consider it carefully, manufacturers typically release new miner which always has 2x power more than previous one after 9 months or 1 year. Also, for asics miner, you have to deal with more thing such as noise, maintenance, and warranty.   

Curious about OP's decision.
Which one you bought, OP? Three Gtx 1070Ti or two Antminer L2. Just want to know members inputs that infecting to OP's decision.

I opted for one Bikal Giant X10

It's time for me to try and use the ASICS. And this one looks to me the best/safest option.

Finally no one was infecting you here.
Asking suggestion between 3 Gtx 1070Ti and 2 x Antminer L2, and you opted Baikal Giant X10. How dare you.  :(

Congrats! and Happy mining.

My experience with bitmains antminer product(s9) is they are Very Loud (I mean separate building loud)and require heat venting.......

With GPU you have the chance to mine different tokens. Choose GPU, there are hundreds of options to mine. Antminer is only for btc and its going to be very hard to compete huge mining companies. If I live where Watts are cheaper I definitely be mining ETH and other coins mine-able by GPUs.  TRy ETC or the new one EINC, I heard its no premine token.

My choice is 1070Ti.
Universality is the extraction of almost any coin that is profitable at the moment.
Below is the noise level.
Easy to set up.
The longer the period of profitable use, the less morally obsolete.

But honestly, if I bought bitcoin or etherium last year, and sold it in January, I would have earned two or three times more than I got coins.

I recommend buying AMD RX570 series for digging, if you have to choose in your answer, I will choose 1070
