A4s are cheaper 280 mhs for 1000 it seems why buy an L3+ now
They both have a similar payback period. Bitmain priced the L3+ in LTC not USD, which allows one to take advantage of any weakness in the exchange rate. Another advantage to the L3+ is density. |

391,487 ......
You ain't seen nothing yet. That's after only one small batch has been released. Profit down 35% already. LTC profit will be down to $300.00 per month by October. I bet those poor bastards that paid $6,000.00 per unit from Amazon sellers are not feeling to good now. 2 years to pay the bastards off now. Yea I bought one of the last from the Sept 21-30 batch and Im hoping for less than 6mo to make back the 45 LTC it cost me. |

I'm pretty sure it will take you at least 9 months to generate 45 LTC, if not longer! |

They switch your scrypt miner to the current best profit coin. Might be a better option than straight LTC by then. |

A4 is still 1400$, they just ask for 70% preorder ammount. So you have to pay 1000$ now, and 400$ when they are ready ship. |

Could anyone tell me how many Amps 1 L3+ uses at the wall?

This is going to depend entirely on your voltage. amp = watt / volt amps = 800W / 120V = 6.667A amps = 800W / 230V = 3.478A |

I'm debating if I want to bring 220V power or to leave it at 120V. |

I misspoke, it's also dependent on the efficiency of your power supply. From that, you can get pretty close to what a Killawatt can tell you.
Per Bitmain's website: 800W +10% (at the wall, with Bitmain's APW3 PSU, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temperature)
It's always a better idea to run your miners with a PSU on 240v rather than 120v.

Is there any benefit running them on 240V vs 120V? I ordered Bitmain's APW3++ PSUs. |

Could somebody give an honest amount in £ you would generate a month from a mixed coin pool? such as pro hashing etc  |

Hi Just a few questions on the AntMiner L3+.
I have recently got my two L3+ miners and have set them up. How many days would you recommend leaving them on before giving them a break? & How do you solo mine with them?
Thanks!
I have apartment by the lake, so You can send them on (at least) two weeks vacation there. I think You should do that during high season (now), so can rest and prepare for high difficulty mining.  |

Does anybody know if they are working on a machine to supersede the l3+ and when we can expect to see one go up for sale

You are pulling less amps from the breaker panel which means you can run multiple rigs on a single breaker. Also many PSUs are optimized for 240v so they run cooler and more efficiently. All this adds up to lesser chance of fire. |

No one knows except bitmain. All we can do is make an educated guess. |

Given the speed at which they pump out Bitcoin miners what are the intervals? i am new to the whole ASIC mining scene, my l3+ is due any day and as mentioned I am 1/2 tempted to sell it and wait for the new ones to release + invest extra into LTC stock. |

If I had to bet my money on it, I'd say a better version should be released by the end of the year (maybe december announcement, then jan-feb shipment) efficiency is walling off Moore's law now so don't expect much though, this is basically the beginning of the plateau phase. |
