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

[Longsnowsm]

Is it worth buying one of these that have a july 20-30 ship date?

The million dollar question.  As of now it looks like yes good idea but things can turn sour quick by way of diff to price change.  No easy way to answer that one.  And to add to the question is what will bitcoin do in the 2 months its tied up with bitmain.....

2 months is  reduculous, you could trade and maybe double your money in that time.  Unless you have a bunch of $$ sitting around not doing anything

People are going to be in for a rude awakening...

It is going to be ugly when people are pricing in ROI and miners based on today's prices.  If you are on the cautious side you look back at prices from a few months ago and look at the profitability before the big price moves and use those numbers for your forward forecast then you might be in the ballpark long term.

Just look at TBDice, the top miners there were in the 10G range.  Now there is a miner there with 100G.  :O

Even still, it's less than a day's of activity. > 1 day is less than 16G

July. Though someone said 3 batches in July. Also I expect diff
To still explode with bitmain filling that month their data halls and
Hashnet. Sorry to say.

Yea, im waiting for them to catch-up before ordering.
I want to place an order and have it ship within 2-3 days, not 2-3 months.
That way im better protected against the "unknown" between now and then.

I got real lucky there yesterday, found a block in 18 min, then left.

 What you guys seeing for HW errors I'm, seeing about 60 and 70 on boards 1 and 3 after 24 hrs. Boards and 2 and 4 only have a few HW errors.

Nice I tried Nicehash solo a bit, got a big share but just not enough..

Congrats!!!

I'm a noob,
I want to buy newest miner, newest miner is l3+, but newest miner only ship in 3 months?
Is this correct?
Can I buy the normal l3 still ?

July batch is avail still on the bimain site

www.bitmain.com

but be aware difficulty is going up big time due to bitmain kicking out units like toasters..thus use a calc like

www.litecoinpool.org/calc (free pool no fee pays at 103% and the 3% is included in the calc...but gives you a ballpark figure)

So anyway difficulty has gone up 100% on LTC in last month.thus any static machine in the barn you own is now making 1/2 the coin

now vs 1 month  ago. The above calculator DOES NOT have difficulty increases...so be aware to add your best 'guess' of what this may be

worse case scenario ..by the time you got a July miner at the end of that month

if price of LTC goes to 50 bucks you are golden...if it goes back down to 15 bucks maybe not so much

bitmain also offers hashnet and for 1850 vs buying a miner for 1300 in july at the end of the line ..will turn it on for you in 3 days max...but you are paying like

860 for the privilege of beating difficulty by 2 months plus and still pay a fee/elec/rent/etc to bitmain for this cloud hosting

anyway that is the bet you are making ....to be truth if you are just counting on a price pump in LTC you are probably better of just guying LTC imho

others can chime in here....on here.....with better advice then me

Thanks so much for posting that!!!! bought a contract off hashnest and while i was debating whether or not to drop 77 more LTC on another L3+ contract they sold out!!!!

so far so good but only time will tell

[lestherat]

Only poor people gonna tell this is not worth the investment   they are jealous

The reality is almost all of us investing on this, still have btc to trade, yes you can double your money trading but you can lose it too, so at least with miners

you can use the miner one year, then sell it and recover some money, but at this price you can ROI in one month, yes in 3 months the price will not be the same, it will be higher  

BTC +2000 usd, LTC +50 usd

And the best thing one Miner can do, is sell only the ltc to cover expenses and hold the rest or hold in btc, in a year we gonna see BTC +3000 usd, in 2 years +5000 usd,

So, dont hear some of this bastards, i bought 4 L3+ of that 3rd July batch, and thinking of buying 4 more.

Buy Mine and Hold,  be fucking rich in 10 years  

   


But Invest at your own RISK, Crypto is the Wild West

We will have to wait and see how this looks around July 30th...

Unfortunately all miners should be gone then...

Again, not buying until I can get delivery in just a few days.
So, will have to wait it out until they catch up and start taking orders and delivery at the same time.
I think it's crazy in this market to buy something and have to wait for delivery more than a week or two.
Once they catch-up with the back orders and are carrying stock, then people should not throw money at any vendor on the hopes that they will produce and deliver goods in months...
Only buy from "stock", not from pre-orders...

I'm happy that I ordered may 5 batch L3+, ROI time looks good at the moment..

[usao]

Yea, it would have been great if I had found out about it in time, I might have done it. However, by the time  I found they were on sale, all they had is the July 30th delivery.
That makes no sense to buy 3 months in advance, perhaps at most a week or two.
They really need to get caught up and start carrying stock for sale. Then it would be reasonable to purchase, but based on some future point, 3 months out, that's silly to order now.
It's well past the ROI point just to get delivery.

As someone who has some of these I hope you are correct. But Bitmain is gonna pop them out like toasters imho. Its what they do

(notice how profitable it is to mine bitmain bitcoin machines on the BTC network even WITH the price pump to $1,700 usd. It will pan out in the same

dismal fashion....only bitmain ..as you can see on the btc network does it make sense to mine...it seems)

The same results on the LTC network I'm afraid. (As usual with my 'fears' I hope I am dead,dead wrong!)

[usao]

If anyone wants to sell their L3/L3+, send me a PM, otherwise im not going to pre-order and wait for July delivery.
I would rather pass up a July 30 deliver if it means I have to pay now and wait to see what the network does between now and then.
Again, Don't throw your BTC away on pre-orders. Get actual in-stock gear when it's available and wait if it's not in-stock.

Some people act, others just wait and never act

So any changes to L3's now that Segwit got activated?
