I dont think there is a new L3+ and there probably wont be any new ones. There is no incentive to spend so much to develop new miners when the price have gone down so much. The risk wont payoff and will probably lead to losses. It is probably the same with the S9.

FUCK BYTOM and FUCK BITMAIN
B3 now makes LESS than $1.00/day.....Units are LESS THAN 1 MONTH OLD for fucks sake.
That means it needs OVER 4 YEARS just to pay for itself...no chance for profit.
It will never break even period. Does bitmain have any pride or do they care about their reputation? This is pure garbage miner....

For the price paid for the B3, it makes no bloody sense. Need stronger firmware....

|
|
We need new firmware to increase hashrate.

Selling 7 antminers L3+ with PSU Shipping from Singapore Currently undervolted with jstefanop method found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3546316.0It can run 504 MH at 720 watts fine. I never tried undervolting it more than that so far. USD 300 a piece or offer me. Escrow/Shipping/VAT cost on u. Pay via BTC Selling as it is not worth running it at my electricity cost Minimum quantity is one I can also make a video to show u it works fine before i ship over if u want lol Is cheaper for u to buy it from me than bitmain, which ships from China

is hosting gear even safe? scams can occur right
Scams can occur everywhere. This said tons of legit hosting places exist. if you do your homework right you should be fine. The ones in bticointalk marketplace tend to have 12 USD cents hosting iirc. Thats just too high these days. What do u think is a fair price to sell an L3+ with psu if I ship from Asia?

I guess it depends a lot on your power cost. I pay 4.6 cents per kw, so 26,5$ per month in power for each L3+.
not sure where you are in the world...but yeah...I pay 14c kwh when you include the data hall rent etc They're somewhere in the same county I am at - same rate I pay, and there is a TON of mining activity here and in the next 2 counties over where the rate is close to (or UNDER) 3 cents/kwh due to the very cheap electric cost. Our rate here DID just go up a bit though - it's closer to 4.7 now than 4.6 with ALL costs included. Local PUD (and the 2 in those "next counties overs) EACH owns one or more major Columbia River power dams - and subsidizes local rates somewhat through the sale of excess electric production to other areas that will pay quite a bit more and STILL saves money over their own local generation. I call Central Washington State "the land of VERY VERY low cost electric" for a reason. Yes, the US average is closer to 12, but you can find places to host gear in the area I'm in that will charge you 5-7 range including hosting fees and internet access etc. is hosting gear even safe? scams can occur right

I sold most of my LTC...even at these low levels. It is getting too risky.
Once difficulty goes higher, a handful of low cost big miners can come together and do a 51% attack for their own gain. It is gonna be more and more centralized to low cost miners. Higher cost miners turn it off. If it keeps up, eventually most of the machines will be run by few 3-4 cents guys only. Bitmain now lowers price to 476 USD, probably to lower inventory lol .....sigh. The problem with this industry is that manufacturers can make money at the expense of customers.

STOP BUYING L3+ units, is not proffitable anymore.
You pay more for electricity than what you mine.
It depends on your electric cost - for ME, an L3+ would still be profitable, but for most folks you're correct that it is not profitable any longer. To be fair, it really depends wat happens going forward even for low cost people. Price of LTC falls like a brick and difficulty, as usual, always rises. Those who unplug L3+ will plug it back in as price rise. It has become a D3. Even at 6 cents, that will only make 38 USD now. An L3+ with PSU sets u back 726 USD, at full price with delivery and 10% VAT yet. That means 19 months to break even lol. I am using cryptocompare calculator. With coupons, it will be abit faster though. I find it madness. This is wat an oversupplied sector looks like, when there is too much interest and oversupply occurs. BTC mining still looks ok but heck, if it can happen to the L3+, it can possibly occur to the S9.

do you think I should pull off my L3+ now? it almost brings me nothing after expensive even some lossless too
Unless you are just trying to accumulate LTC and build a position at these price levels i would. Even then, if you're acquiring LTC through mining it at any type of loss I would think you're better off just buying it on the open market than suffering the mining process for the same result. To own LTC. The moment any of my miners go break even I turn them off and sit tight. Things always change in this space. I had D3's off for more than 2 months and they came back. Yep, if u gonna mine at a loss, might as well buy the ltc on market than pay for the electricity. U will get more ltc that way.

Wow, waste of money. Not a huge waste since the machine has been devalued but still a waste..
|
|

When you see BITMAIN to start to give coupons the next day you have to list your miner for sale in Ebay..... and start searching for the next project...
When your miner is worth half the price because the manufacturer halve the price ..... insert wtf-face.gif

BITMAIN are you here ? is it true ? L3+ became a doorstop ? hahahah
Income: $2.52/ day El cost: $1.91/day at $0.10/ KWh Profit : $0.61/day
If you pay administrations fees in the farm as 99% of the farms ask then there is no profit you pay from your pocket. If you are in Europe you already disconnected and you use the L3+ as doorstop
What a nice investment ...... watch out you will not have space in your house to put so much money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Congrats BITAMAIN
People please listen to this guy STOP BUYING L3+ or L3++ Dont buy more, is waste of money, i regret buying this fucking doorstops at 1 Btc each a year ago, i should keep my BTC or my 40 Ltc, is a joke, you never recover your money with Bitmain. STOP BUYING L3+ units, is not proffitable anymore. You pay more for electricity than what you mine. Yep, it was good until they halved price and flood market. I hear rumours that bitmain will change their name to bitwin, because they win too much

I received my refund too. The problem is gpu attacking bytom. We need more hashrate for low watts... It is ridiculous that GPU can compete with Asics. Another 300 hash for 20 watts on next update pls.
Or maybe time for BytomCash lol

I guess with crypto, everything from exchanges to manufacturers email list are targeted. Just because it is often exchanges, does not mean email list, numbers,etc wont be targeted too.

U sure it is bitmain because I did not get it...

Hey, guys!
Do $100 coupons (or any other) work when you order APW3 PSUs as a separate order or they are only for miners? Thanks.
Nope and u can see at the bottom of the item if coupons are allowed.
