Wow, never heard of this before. This would actually work for me. Off I go to research more about this. Thank you very much for this info.

Electricity wise, I have 2 20 amp and 2 15 amp circuit-breakers in my place. Probably not enough to run Asics anyway.

I guess the main question should have been, Is there such thing as a quiet asic miner that could be used at home ?
4 1660Ti cards give you just about $150 a month profitability, which is far less than any asic miner.

I'm in the US, on the East Coast.
I was considering mining Altcoins, either ETH, LTC or just letting NiceHash sort it out.

Hi all
I've been considering starting a small mining operation for a while.
I live in an apt and my electricity is included in my monthly HOA (basically free electricity).
I've been looking at the usual suspects like Bitmain, Innosilicon, etc. The main thing that worries me is the excessive noise and high energy consumption (don't really want to have problems with my management over burned out circuit breakers).

Bottom line is, can anyone recommend a build that would be good for an apartment ? Something that is quiet and doesn't put a large strain on home electrical circuitry ? I was thinking about just building a rig with 2/4 5700 cards, but the ROI is atrocious. I would love to just put a few Bitmain Asics, but the noise would be awful. Maybe there's a company that builds a quiet miner out there ?


Thanks in advance for any answers.

Thanks
Those March batches were available for purchase for a while, at least since the end of October. I'm guessing as soon as the price of LTC went up, the number of orders went up too and Bitmain couldn't keep up with demand.
I guess I didn't ask the right question. I'm pretty much set on mining LTC, it's the equipment that I am on the fence about. Whether to wait for the new L3 to be released(hopefully newer and better model) or just buy on ebay and pay double 

So both batches of L3+ are now showing as sold out on Bitmain website. Whats the general consensus on these ? Is it worth waiting for a new batch or a new model at this point ?

From what I remember, Bitmain released the L3+ around the same time around a year ago. Does that mean that there's a new model around the corner? I'm about to get around 10 machines and start a small farm and not sure if it's worth waiting for a new release or just to get whatever L3's I can get my hands on. Definitely planning to mine LTC. BTC is a possibility if something comes out to replace S9.

Any input from experienced miners is welcome
