Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon

[titanminer]

Mine works fine, almost 15 days straight. Knock on wood.

I guess its just one of does things. Where did you buy yours from?

[reb0rn21]

Scrypt asic miners are blocking litecoin development, I hope they ASAP change their mind about litecoin future and not use it as genuine pig to promote BU in bitcoin and killing litecoin in the process

I hope wee gather support to fork LTC back to GPU miners if they continue to hamper LTC future:
https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/60v2mr/decentralize_ltc_mining_switch_to_gpu_pow/

and if you are asic owner switch to segwit pool, show support for LTC or mine doge next

[Rupucers]

Lol LTC has no future. Just pump and dump coin now. Even though it's quite stable against FIAT currencies. Would support changing algo of LTC to GPU minning. But that would mean all these chinese Mofo's will just jump on next scrypt coin. Like GAME. For me it's better that they sit on LTC and be happy to mine it at low profits and not mess other scypt coins.

Would you say it's a good idea to purchase one from Eastshore.xyz (will be shipped 10th april so mining on the 15th the latest) for 1800usd ?

I did the calculations and saw 10 months ROI using Nicehash and no power cost, that doesn't seem so good but seeing he stability of ltc difficulty it could be a good long time placement.

Are there any information available on mass production of these units anytime soon ?

Cheers,
Q.

I got my L3 from Eastshore.xyz one week ago. It is currently mining on antpool.com (around 1.3 LTC/day), but I could not manage to get it working on nicehash. Is anybody doing it?

I tried using

URL :  scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333
Worker: [BITCOIN_ADDRESS]
Password: x

and

URL: scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub
Worker: [BITCOIN_ADDRESS]
Password: x

But the miners says the status of the pool is "Dead"...

This is what I got from Nicehash after sending them all the info:

It seems that this Antminer L3 has issues with mining anything but pure Litecoin. Obviously Bitmain did a bad job in implementing the software/firmware of this miner. You might want to contact them and let them now about these issues.

Any help will be appreciated

[mpenagar]

Overall I'm happy for now about my L3, in particular that it's batch 1. After more than one month of mining on NiceHash by my L3 it dropped one time one board, so I restarted it once a week with the hope it will help prevent dropping board. Now after 10 days I'm going to wait for how long my L3 would works without dropping board. I watch and I will let you know about my result.

Which was your configuration for USL/Worker/Password? I could not manage to conect it to nicehash!

You are missing ' stratum+tcp:// ' before address. Try to do as follow:

URL: stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333
Worker: [BITCOIN_ADDRESS]
Password: x
or
URL: stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333
Worker: [BITCOIN_ADDRESS]
Password: x

On my first attempt, I did try using "stratum+tcp://", but realized the the miner prefixes it automatically, i.e., when seting the url to "stratum+tcp://...", in the status tab you will see "stratum+tcp://stratum+tcp://...". Anyway, I tried it again and didn´t work. This morning, I got this from Bitmain support:

--------------------------
Hi,

L3 can mine currently only in Antpool. We are checking possibilities about other pools.

L3 can mine only Litecoins.

No other is possible.
--------------------------

[Longsnowsm]

Bitmain is funny... That's all I have to say about that.   

[HagssFIN]

Have they really gone with the antpool only -path ? That's pretty dirty.

edit:
You could try if there is an older firmware in backup memory and use this method IP Reporter Restore (The miner will automatically revert to factory default firmware).
https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957

This pool problem should not exist with older L3 firmware?

[madmartyk]

That's funny, my L3 is working just fine on NiceHash!! 

[mpenagar]

That's funny, my L3 is working just fine on NiceHash!! 

Please, could you tell me your config?

[HagssFIN]

See my edited last post if it could help you.

This could be a problem with new L3s but not with the old ones?

[madmartyk]

That's funny, my L3 is working just fine on NiceHash!! 

Please, could you tell me your config?

What config, just poolname, username (address.1) and X for the password.  Both units are hashing away at 250 Mh/s

[naron]

My L3 also is working fine on NiceHash, but unfortunately yesterday one of the hashboard lost 4 asic chips so probably I would have to send it to bitmain for repair.

[madmartyk]

I have also used it litecoinpool.org and SuprNova.

did you use (eu could be usa, etc.):

URL: scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub

or:

URL: scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333

I have tried both, anyway... 

 tomorrow I will check the hardware version of my L3.

[madmartyk]

stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3333

I'm not using then for rentals, I'm using them for the solo pool.

[mpenagar]

I Tried to solo mining on nicehash... nothing! I share with you som pictures.
