42  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 on: July 18, 2017, 07:46:33 PM
Would pull about $210 a day if you had it right now.
Shipping is 2 months away. Looks like Dash difficulty went up 300% in trailing 2 months. If the same is expected, you are looking at $70/day profit on day one and declining fast.
It could be interesting if they gave a 2 month grade period like they gave early L3+ adopters.

Well,  3 years ago when I pre-ordered my first KNC Titan it would have pulled $1,000 a day. But when I received it 6 months later it was lucky to pull in $10.00 a day.

But hey on the bright side its still running today and has brought in much more than its original cost, and today still bringing in $18.75 a day.

Once the rest of the new batches  L3+ hit it will be back down to about $10 a day for the Titan, and if I am lucky not much lower.

Means the best solution is ASICs for mining, thanks a lot.

Yes, and don't just mine Doge.  Put your miner on a pool that merge mines scrypt coins. You are mining a main coin like; LTC, AUR, DGB, Game. Then it also applies the same work to a side coin.  So you are mining these main coins it is also merge mining Dogecoin.

Elokk,

PM you.

I am interested in all 3 if we can work out a deal.

You know I have L3s and L3+, or can just go BTC.

Lets Deal!

45  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS][WTT] Pandaminer on: July 11, 2017, 06:18:07 AM
I have 3 of the April 28 batch Pandaminers

I paid 1.55 btc each for these so that is my sale price or will consider trades for Antminer L3 & L3+

PM me if interested

He bought them in april when BTC, around 1200USD so one panda miner costs him around 1700 to 1800 usd.

consider these facts before dealing with this idiot  Wink
Rapidgator,
Thank you for the helpful comment, and calling my friend and customer a Idiot.
This tells everyone much about you.
Is your comment relevant, accurate or needed? I think not.
Are you actually interested in purchasing any miners?
It is not relevant what he paid and when. It is only relevant what a interested buyer is willing to pay now.

Please consider these facts before posting any more idiot comments!     Huh

Regarding your 90k difficulty, the first batch was sold 15th of april. assuming they need at least 5 business days to be shipped, received (right threw customs and fired up) we can clearly see that difficulty was around 125k already before the majority of people received them...

Oh and if I remember correctly Bitmain did not even send them until end of April, supporting my statement even further.

Apr 18 2017   102,267   9.95%   2,928 GH/s
Apr 20 2017   132,016   29.09%   3,780 GH/s
Apr 24 2017   131,639   -0.29%   3,769 GH/s
Apr 27 2017   146,318   11.15%   4,190 GH/s

End Quote

While your logic, assumptions and math looks good I would like to point out a few facts.

First batch was to start shipping the 15th of April.  (I have this year received the shipping notice a few days earlier and then received one of my L3+ orders on the day after the start shipping date. I am in the US.)

Difficulty follows Hashrate.  The hashrate rises(miners being turned on) then the difficulty reacts to this rise in hash rate and then adjusts at the next difficulty adjustment interval.
While you do remember correctly that Bitmain did not send them out until the end of April.
I though you would also remember that Bitmain turned them on and used them to vote against SegWit knocking the signaling below the threshold.

Over 1.25 TH/s or 2500 L3+ miners were deployed on the Litecoin network over 3 days increasing its hashrate by over 50%. Then after the next weekend and the meeting of "the Lites of the round table" and a resolution was agreed to the L3+ miners were shipped out near the end of the month.

These L3+ miners were on the LTC network hashrate and increasing difficulty prior to being delivered to customers.    

If you think my facts are not correct then tell me  where  the 1.25TH or 2,500 L3+ miners or equivalent hashrate came from.

The LTC Hash rate had only been as high a 3 TH/s briefly several times prior to this event.      
  
Date              LTC hashrate    LTC Difficulty           L3+ units equivalent to hash rate
Apr 16 2017      2.582TH/s        93,016                        5,164  
Apr 17 2017      3.429               93,016                       6,858
Apr 18 2017      3.735             102,264                       7,470
Apr 19 2017      3.942             102,264                       7,884
Apr 20 2017                           132,016    
Apr 24 2017      4.328             132,016                       8,658
July 10 2017     8.193             275,721                      16,386


3 x 93,016 =279,048   currently the difficulty is 275,721 and heading up.  So we are at 98.8% of difficulty going up 3X.

Seams pretty accurate to me.  Smiley

I can confirm that it is possible to power the Pi and control board for a Titan using a Micro USB plugged into the micro usb power port of the Pi. The screen on control board lights up and functions normally and the lights sequence on boot normally.

I have do not know what the power load is or why it works with no 12 volt. It can also mine, at least this is confirmed that it can mine with 2 cubes attached.

This was accidentally  discovered by someone that I just sold a Titan to and He has run miners with a Pi in the past and he has always had to hook up power to the Pi and did so with the Titan. 

Just don't also power the control board with the molex.

the question would be if this works why does the control board need 12 volts?

If it is confirmed that the control board does need 12 volts would you be able to provide the 12 volt power to the control board using the molex with the red wire and pin removed and just use a server PSU to power the Titan cubes and control board, and the micro usb powering the Pi with the 5 volt?

if you have questions about ethics then you're on the Right website. Most of these people here have scammed and stolen or developed some personal set of criteria that is absolutely wrong.
Not helpful.  Not accurate. Not relevant.

I would add that my comment here is neither helpful or relevant to the OP either, and the accuracy of my comment is subject to ones opinion. 
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Launching the Antminer L3+, World's Most Powerful and Efficient Litecoin Miner on: July 09, 2017, 03:35:27 PM
I enquired about circuit setup from an electrician here in UK .. apparently 800W requires 3.5amp (approximate) ... so in theory you should be able to run 8 machines off one 30amp/32amp circuit

NO!  Not even in Theory!  A constant load should not be greater that 80% of the circuits capacity.  So a 30 amp circuit should not have a load of greater than 24 amps.

So 6 is the most you should run on a 200-240 volt 30 amp circuit which would be a continuous load of 21 to 24 amps depending on the voltage.

Also a little secret is that these units are using over 800 watts at the wall. 825 to 850 at the wall a more accurate number depending on your PSU.
If you are using less than a platinum rated PSU, or one that delivers a efficiency of 90% or less then it could be closer to 900 watts at the wall.
Any overclocking will increase the power usage as well.

I will answer your question flat out.

Yes do it.
He provides the capital and space to run the equipment.
You source, assemble and run the equipment.
You split the income after expenses each month as the two of you agree 80 for him 20 for you or what ever you agree to.
He owns all the equipment and you are expertise.

Maybe don't just go GPU rigs, maybe throw in some L3+, or x11 miners too if you can so that you are diversified in the Algos and coins you can mine.

Get the agreement in writing and both sign it.

Just do it. Right or wrong, good or bad, profitable or not,  will not be known until 6 to 12 months have passed.

Then come back and let us know how it worked out. Maybe give us some updates along the way.

Good Luck!     
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Electricity needs for 35 L3+ miners on: July 06, 2017, 02:40:30 PM
I currently run L3+ units on single phase and 3 phase electricity. I am not going to go into the exact calculations, but will tell you what you need and what to tell the electrician that you need.

You can run 6 L3+ on a 208 to 240 volt single phase on a 30 AMP circuit with a NEMA L6-30R outlet.
You will connect a 30 AMP single phase Power Distribution Strip with a NEMA L6-30P plug to the outlet.
Then when you are running the 6 L3+ you will have a continuous load of approximately 4,800 watts +/-.
This will be the maximum recommended full load on this circuit of 80%.
If you voltage is 230-240 you will be right in specs.
If your voltage is 208 you might be at a load of 83% which is just out of specs but if your electrician says you are OK, then you are good.
You could just run 5 L3+ instead of 6 for a extra measure of caution.

You can run 9 L3+ on a 208 volt 3 Phase on a 30 amp circuit with a NEMA L21-30R outlet.
You will connect a 30 AMP 3 Phase Power Distribution Strip with a NEMA L21-30P Plug to the outlet.
When you are running the 9 L3+ on this circuit you will have a continuous load of approximately 7,200 watts +/- which will be within specs.

So for your current needs to run 35 L3+ you will need:

6 of the above specified 30 amp circuits on 208-240 volt single phase, or

4 of the above specified 30 amp circuits on 208 volt 3 phase.



Do not even think about running the above set up on 110-120 volt.


 


 

        
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon on: June 25, 2017, 04:25:31 PM
The L3+ is the new King of Scrypt and will be into 2018, possibly into the next LTC halving in 8/2019.

The KNC Titans held the title as King of Scrypt for about 2.5 years until the L3+ was released and at the moment are they are still running strong.

The L3+ runs like a KNC Titan on steroids at 160% of the Titan hashrate, sipping the electricity at 64% of a Titans consumption, and 100% less babysitting and burnt connectors than a Titan.  Smiley

I'm trying to reconnect my L3+ to ProHashing now that it's back up, but apparently they had to change their stratum IP address and it is not resolving.

Anyone know how to reset the DNS cache in an L3+?

A restart should do it but are you sure it's the L3+ caching it and not e.g. your router or ISP? Try a different DNS server just in case.

prohashing.com shows as 192.3.198.21 here.

Prohashing.com pool still shows dead on my L3+, and x11 miners after a reboot.

All other pools and settings that I have configured are alive and well.



Miners back up on Prohashing!
I did not change a thing.
The Pools were no longer showing dead and the miners went back to work there as Prohashing was #1 priority.
54  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTB] L3+ Miners on: June 21, 2017, 07:08:12 PM
So you want to pay $1500 for something that ATM makes $1295 per month.
The L3+ on here were being sold for $3000 to $3500 before the additional $10 LTC pump.
 
Right now you could not even get 1 L3+ for $6000.

On ebay 2 just went for $6,500 each yesterday, and 1 today for $7,108 with free shipping.

For that kind of coin I should consider selling a few of mine  Wink

Does anyone have hard numbers on what they have mined so far for a May batch machine?  I sold mine, but would like to know if that was a good choice or not?

It was a bad choice.

I mined 115 LTC, 18 GameCredits, 28500 DOGE and 0.055 BTC (via NiceHash) using two L3+between May 9 - June 5. Solo mining now, so stats are as of last block find.
Total value mined close to $4000. I can still sell those units now for 2800-3500 without effort, which is probably the price range you sold it for.

I presold one May unit on Ebay for 3100. I regret it. I also regret not buying the July batch as the LTC difficulty has subsided. I believe many are trying out the other scrypt alts that seem to make more per day than LTC. I think it is an illusion since you are looking at profitability whenever difficulty drops and readjusts back every block. Many alts have a high number of orphan blocks too.

My stats may not be representative of what everyone else is seeing. One of my L3+ has been extremely lucky. It mined 2 blocks on litecoinpool and 3 on tbdice. The other unit only mined 1 block on litecoinpool.

My L3+ units have averaged 39.51 LTC and 34,322 Doge since May 6th. So for me they each have generated about $1,260 so far. No ROI yet for me, but probably will by mid June.  Smiley    
57  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Whats the lifespan of a GPU? on: June 06, 2017, 04:43:31 AM
In addition to newer cards I am still running some rigs with R9 290s (hair drier) on ETH  and R9 280X on ZEC that I purchased and ran in 2013 and into 2014 before I shut them down.

I never sold them, because I did not want to give them away, and then turned them on again when the second GPU round came about last year.

I had to RMA some 280Xs back in 2014. I have also had to replace some fans on the 280Xs.

I would say they are very reliable, if you don't push the limits, and keep temps reasonable. Its the heat that kills.
     
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Caution! Pandaminers catching fire! on: June 06, 2017, 04:30:14 AM
A few days ago after I first read this post I went into the DC and felt all of the Panda miner power connections. Most of them felt DC room temperature and only one of them was even mildly warm to the touch. While checking them again today we found one with very hot connections and on closer inspection the black wires were turning gray at the PCIe connector at the Panda miner, and several of the PCIe connector black wires were starting to melt for a few inches with some copper wire showing. We cut the power right away and let it cool just a minute and then disconnected the PCIe connectors before they fully cooled and plastic welded together. I few PCIe pins left the plastic in the connector, but I believe that it can be cleaned out and the miner will still function. I think we caught it in time to prevent major board damage.

The interesting thing is that the 2 most burn connectors were single connector cables, not double connectors.
The connectors with wires that were melting were closest to the back or intake side of the miner.   

I thought I would pass this on for others to keep a eye on there miners, and have them check even if they are hosted at a DC.

If the PSU is the issue I would strongly recommend replacing it with a Platinum or Titanium PSU.
   
59  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 3 motherboards fried trying to get a 7th GPU work on: June 03, 2017, 04:50:57 AM
Did the system work with the 6 GPUs prior to adding the 7th?

Is there any chance that ANY of the cables connected to the PSU are not Corsair PSU cables even if they look the same?

Use a multi meter and check the output at the cable end and see everyone has the voltage and polarity that it should.

Just ROI'ed in a little over 3.5 weeks.   Grin
Noticed I was trailing PPS on litecoinpool vs actual blocks I was generating (3 blocks in 11 days).

Tried one machine on NiceHash and another on tbdice. Mined a solo block on tbdice in 2 days, so I moved the other from NiceHash to tbdice. This morning mined another solo block. 4 blocks from the same L3+ in 3.5 weeks. Hopefully it is a golden goose.


Wow! Nice! How are you finding the difficulty increase? Would you say rigs bought for the july release will be vaguely profitable with good times break even times? Bitmain have churned out a shit-tonne of these...

A lot of people got the second batch thurs/fri. I believe PPS was 1.43 LTC per day per L3+. Mine got held up by customs via Fedex until the next tues. By then PPS was 1.35 LTC per L3+ for a day and now has been around 1.1 LTC. Which is still pretty good maybe 45 day ROI at original sticker price. But I noticed I was getting "lucky" finding blocks, so while still feasible on Litecoin, I decided to go ahead solo. I wouldn't attempt to go solo on Bitcoin unless I had atleast 150-300 S9's.

Thanks for sharing.  
I have tried to setup up one of my L3+ for TBDice but they keep saying my LTC address is wrong. Do I need to put in a private LTC wallet address? I was trying to dump to Poloniex LTC address.
Please share your L3+ antminer settings.
Thanks again.
DL

Yes you need to put in a private LTC address, and private Dogecoin address.
