Launching the Antminer L3+, World's Most Powerful and Efficient Litecoin Miner

[usenet]

Hi guys!
I ordered myself a couple too.

Tell me please, standart PC power supply 850W is enough for L3+ ? (220volt line)

No.

Just buy the APW3s at the same time you order those L3+ s.

PC power supply is not a good solution. Why? Cause L3+ works continuously. Cause needs 9xPCIE.
Good 850W/230V computer power supply is 87% efficiency (80 plus GOLD), so only with Gold, Platinum Certificate. But power should be greater - do not use 90-100% power supply limit. However, good power supplies can handle it such as the Corsair CS850M, which has a continuous power of 850W for 12V line and peak power of up to 935W. But what if it has only 4 PCIE slots?
Better use power supplies for servers. So APW3++ from Bitmain will be ok.

Bitmain APW3++ power supply or
HP DPS 1200 power supply is the way to go.

Yeah, if you really want to bee like 100% sure you have the psu's ready before the miners arrive, then you can buy them from a different source.

These HP server power supplies are great, for example.

Nice price, thank you!

Actually, you need to order the PSU's 2-3 weeks before....it has been the case they arrive after your L3+ or D3

Exactly. This is the problem. Therefore, I no longer consider buying a power supply from a bitmain, I'm late )

Yes, I was planning on taking the gold version. There are 8 PCIe connectors. Another one from the Molex through the adapter.

My advise is, that take the HP 1200W server power supply or supplies (depending how many miners you got, 1 Miner = 1 PSU) and you are good to go.

Yeah, word of caution, I received my L3+ machines two weeks before my APW5 power supplies so it may not be a bad idea to purchase your power supplies elsewhere to be sure you have them ready to go. The ones from Bitmain aren't any more special than similar server power supplies you can buy elsewhere for similar prices.

I forgot to mention that sidehack also makes great kits with this same psu, and the price is even little more cheap.
his thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=940317.0
See the DPS-1200 PSU Kit.

This is good especially if you are located in the US. (Gekkoscience is located in Missouri, US)

My electric rates are 0.22 cents in winter and 0.15 cents in summer,  Is it worth getting an antminer L3+ at these electric rates?

[HagssFIN]

In my opinion that electricity price sounds little too expensive in a long run.

But use the calculators available online and you can look at it yourself.

You could use it instead of a heater during the winter, it would cover your electricity cost. Now when it's getting colder my 1080ti x 7 GPU rig warms up the living room.

PC power supply is not suitable for continuous operation generally and even if you have a strong 12V line you will probably need to restart it at some time. So be careful with that choice.

Do not buy anything from BITMAIN until , 5 days delivery or new policy ,
They changed their strategy since they has strong enemies , so they will fool all their clients to maximize profit . It is like their last hit.
They are selling excessive amount of miners to dominate market but when you receive miner it already become heater,drier whatever else.
Dont buy ant antminer anymore ,my suggestion.

Hi guys,

Any suggestions for most profitable Scrypt multipool at the moment, anything giving better profits than Nicehash?

I don't know about that the scrypt difficulty is pretty high as it is.

Prohashing when it works..is like your hot mess supermodel girlfriend...when it works its great..when it does not you are beyond despondent

I keep hanging in there...because mining x11 and scrypt all to LTC...I figure by the time I figure fees to mine BTC and convert and etc

I'd pretty much be in the same boat ..multipool wise

IT however was crap yesterday..sometimes they refund some hash back....we will see

Totally agree, I can tell how many times it drops but the daily LTC payout by my failover pool.

Yup, I call it " Procrashing ". Went from my primary to my tertiary pool. They don't have enough capacity and doesn't seem like the brothers are in a hurry to expand. When it goes over their capacity they kick some miners off. Seemingly randomly.
