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

[BenRickert]

Anyone ever reset these with the button the front before?  I can seem to get mine to reset.  My miner has been running for more than 5 minutes, manual says press and hold for 10 seconds, then release and it will restart with factory settings.  I get no response whatsoever, timing myself with my phone's stopwatch and trying iterations of a little more and little less than 10 seconds after that didn't work.  There's a help page at bitmain that says 5 seconds, and I tried that too, but that one has a photo of an S series antminer, so I assume the manual is right.

It has worked for me. I use a Paper clip and press until you actually feel the little button in there push down? It's such a tiny little button. Maybe your not getting it pushed down??

Also using a paper clip.  I'm definitely feeling actuation, but I just tried to see if I could press any harder, but nothing more after the first click.  I do appreciate the response.  I'm bound to be overlooking something easy, or the function is broken.  

I'll try again on a different machine.  And maybe restart it a few minutes before trying.  I interpreted the instructions as requiring it to be on at least 5 minutes before trying to restart, but it doesn't say precisely that, maybe there's a window of time after which it doesn't respond any more.

Edit: Okay, it works.  I'd had it running for a few hours when I was trying before.  I unplugged it, plugged it back in and waited till just after the jet engine noise died down, pressed the reset button again, and got what I was hoping for originally.  It beeps at you and the red light flashes as soon as you've held it down long enough.

Now I know.

What's most affordable fail-safe mobile Internet back up solution? Is it netgear lb1120? Cradlepoint seems more expensive..

Pricing is different everywhere

You guys noticing a revenue increase? I'm renting my L3 and earnings are going up in btc.

My Nov 20th to 30th batch will be here tomorrow  Along with 40 of my PSU's that I ordered. I've been waiting on the PSU's forever and they finally shipped.

  i bought the l3+ on 20-30 nov batch too
why didn't get any thing yet ?

because its not the 20th yet. You get information once they have shipped it. If you were late in the ordering line you will get your miner shipped on the last day

I was thinking about the L3+ and how long this miner will probably still be profitable.

As we can see on whattomine there are 9 coins we can mine with around 15$ profit ore more (without nicehash)

So after the next 2 Batches (Nov+Dec) ye diff. will increase but imo after the 2 batches we can still mine around 15$ or more with this machine a longer time because we can mine so many coins which are high valued. (ofc BTC price will increase a little bit as well I think)

So we will not have the same problem than the D3 has now. Unless we get a L4+ or some other wild Scrypt machines. Am I right?

when I have bought it if I will get guidance on how to use the tool
because I still lay in this case and I really want to try it

There are good instructions.

Any recommendations for a pool with an auto-switch mining and ability to convert to LTC?

Prohashing.com is a pretty good one and kinda stable. But I heard they got registration stop atm

Prohashing has gotten back to solid again. Nicehash is not a switching pool. You just rent you hash out there. Which these days is a good thing. Nicehash is stable as Hell.

I'm in a situation where I received my L3+ in early November. It was set up and running fine for 3 days and then the L3+ stopped working while I was away from home. When I returned home, the unit wasn't powered on, so I unplugged and replugged the power supply from the surge protector. Next thing I know, I saw something bright light up through the front intake fan of the L3+ and black smoke immediately came out through the back of the unit. I immediately unplugged the power supply and messaged Bitmain for support.

I spoke with Bitmain's customer service and was given permission to disassemble the unit and take photos of the hash boards. Upon disassembly and removal of the hash boards I noticed 2 of the hash boards were burnt. It took a week to get a response from them after sending them photos of the hash boards and now they are saying my warranty is void because of the burnt hash boards. The unit was never overclocked, modified or tampered with in any way.

Anyone have a similar experience? Is there anything I can do at this point?

Yeah, bitmain does that...and smoke/flash they assume it is Overclocked......amazing how they can be so 'clairvoyant"

take really detail pics of the spots on the boards burnt....hopefully you are using one of their PSU's so no issue with them on that being the problem

try to submit the whole thing again..and hopefully, you will get someone else to look at it

don't (for now) just reply to their email that says you are at fault

start fresh

they are so swamped maybe you MIGHT find someone more reasonable on a re-do

If that doesn't work you can go back and bash at them in both email attempts if they try to mess with them

hopefully, that may work, what I'd try anyway rather than get into a they said you said fight which you'd lose the email war at this time

For anyone like me in search of PSUs while waiting and hoping Bitmain someday mails them out, EVGA's storefront is having a sale.  I just got a EVGA 1000GQ 210-GQ-1000-V1 for $99 for an idle miner, and there are a few others as well.  Cryptocrane recommended that model in a thread here, so I took a chance.  https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=10&family=Power+Supplies&chipset=1000+Watts  Even when Bitmain finally ships, it probably doesn't hurt to have a spare.

EDIT: within hours of ordering it, bitmain changed my psu order status to shipped.  Yay!  I wish I'd put this order in weeks ago. I think I managed to cancel, though maybe I shouldn't have.

Hello;

I use nicehash for my L3+ but 1 machine is always lower speed and time rather than other. Speed is around 150-200mhs , time is also low. All the machines settings are same. Whats the problem for you?
