Does anyone know if you will be able to use this for other X11 coins? I am currently on the lookout for one to mine altcoins with.
Yes, you can mine any x-11 coin. You just have to set it up to a pool that has that coin and it won't differentiate from Dash or any other X-11. Darkcoin is dead though, I'm not sure what other X-11 exist. Edit: found a decent list of X11 mineable currencies: http://www.coins2day.com/x11-coins-mining-software.htmlYou're a legend, thank you! I would prefer a piece of equipment that could do multiple algorithms - the hardest part is just finding hardware that is available. |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

I would prefer a piece of equipment that could do multiple algorithms - the hardest part is just finding hardware that is available. ASICs by their nature can only do one protocol. The best multi-algorithm miners are GPUs. The trade-off is the one that you always make when choosing a specialist versus a generalist. Specialists are fast but inflexible; generalists are flexible but not fast. That said, there are some algorithms that are ASIC resistant and those are the ones where the GPUs really shine. If you go down the GPU path, there are several GPU options (AMD versus nVidia), and each one has algorithms where it's more efficient than the other. Don't forget to factor in cost/availability into the efficiency calculations. AMD may be awesome on your favorite algorithm, but if you can't get AMD cards, then it's a moot point, and nVidia becomes the de facto "winner." Here are a few more web sites to help you see what's going on in the world of mining pools and coin values: |
No mining at the moment.

The shit-hole i went through with my wire-transfer reassured me that the whole crypt-currency is on the right track. If the price settles a bit more, it will be perfect.
I had not registered my bank-account for a higher limit to buy coins so i was forced to use wire-transfer.
The transfer did not show up at my account-history, because these guys would do int. transfers in USD only once a day. I found that out after speaking to their support for around half an hour... That stuff made me crazy! I was thinking that the 3 days limit from bitmain to receive wire-transfer is already short and then such problems! A good thing was that the usd-exchangerate had not dramatically changed until they executed my order. Next time i will buy whatever CryptoCurrency you can use and pay with that !

My first wire transfer took to long to confirm from bitmain and instead of getting a May K3+ they pushed me to July. This time to order the D3 I made my payment LTC waiting for it. The bad thing is here it's hard, because of capital controls (1000euro transfer per month limit) to top up an exchanger. And 3d secure doesn't work for a year now. 3rd world countries man |

Price...you can get 3 D3's for 300 bucks over 10k of 45gh an A5 you can get 30gh for 10k I think their price is my 2nd batch (ONE) D3 I got will arrive between Sept 18th and the 28th A5 will arrive around the end of that month as well.... I myself think with the giant and I mean giant slam up in X11 difficulty...my miner will likely do the old 12-14 month ROI in the 'plateau' after this full tidal wave of difficulty 'crashes thru' into December. If it does better than that ...cool...but my expectations are very Modest. Again this was on the 2nd batch D3 units at (again only got the ONE for above reasons on difficulty) as to a D3 offered to say to hit the world middle of October after the A5's hit...er....not going there. anyway, chump or champ we will know by end of December if any of this X11 stuff made any sense  (crypto: always drama) |
Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

My "worst case " for DASH is; 3m difficulty with DASH price at $50.00 and .10Kw electricity. =$2,867.00 revenue per year. So that's your 1 year ROI/breakeven. Pretty ugly scenario to say the least but overall encouraging. |

Actually I tend to agree with his worst case scenario and I have no problem seeing DASH difficulty at 3m with a potential coin price of $50.00. If that does happen, it will not likely be overnight. It will take time and I feel strongly that you will pay off your hardware before this nightmare becomes reality. |

If price remains high I use 10m in my calculations. I'm using 3m at a $50.00 DASH coin price. That would be a pretty nasty crash from $179.00. |

Difficulty will reach 10M really fast. However price won't go below 100$.
A realistic calculation would be with difficulties:
2M for Sept
6M in October
9M in November
Price between 150-230$us

I see....you're so good you can guarantee us that "price won't go below $100.00". That's just ridiculous. I agree with your calculations on difficulty. It's pure hubris to make definitive claims about the price of the asset. Any asset. |

Comparison b/n D3 and L3+? ROI wise, seems obvious D3 is winner. Any reason to buy L3+?

Depends on how soon you can get either one. L3+ has already sold several batches, and D3 only a few. If you can get a D3 ordered in the next batch then it would be better than getting an L3+ in the next batch. |

If Litecoin increases its price, perhaps the L3 is interesting  |

If Litecoin increases its price, perhaps the L3 is interesting The difficulty of the hash rate is increasing at a far faster pace. It is easily negating the value of the increase in the coin. The larger release of the units hasn't even hit the pools yet. LTC profitability is down almost 50% already from the stated highs. That will get much much worse. |
