Hello, I'm pretty new into mining but a colleague and I are discussing the possibility of buying an antminer (either D3 or L3+)

So I was looking for the profitability calculator and wanted to know if anyone has mined Monero with either hardware

When I checked the L3+ i see the Hashrate is supossed to be 504 MH/s after I introduce that
into cryptocompare I get some rather funny numbers (most probably a bug)

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Monero uses a completely different algorithm than the L3+; the L3+ mines Scrypt. Monero uses CryptoNight and is completely incompatible with Scrypt, hence the numbers are fucked up. The calculator is right for the most part if only you actually had that much CN hashpower.

Thank you so much for the in-depth answer, are there any ASIC for Monero right now?

No there are no Asic miners for monero and you can mine monero only with gpu and the funny part is that the total network hashrate of monero is 214 megahash and you are putting more than double hash rate that's why you are seeing profit of $12 million which is totally wrong
And keep in mind that if you mine monero with gpu rigs the hash rate speed of your cards will be in sols or simple hashes per second.Google the speed for monero for different cards and than put those numbers in the calculator and than you will be able to get the profit accurately

Thanks ! I will definitely do that!

Antminer L3 + will not be able to mine Monero. It is designed to extract coins on the script algorithm
To mine Monero, I advise you to use a video card! I hope soon will create Asic specifically for Monero)

I'm not sure monero is paying all that well for any mining right now. But if your looking for a monero miner I would look into buying  an amd epyc server with dual core processors. cryptonight is mostly a cpu miner first with some graphics cards that do ok with it but not as profitable as mining other coins. Right at the moment there is no asic. If your looking into asics I would stick to mining bitcoin or litecoin.

Thank god no. Monero is using "Cryptonight" which is a so called memory-hard hashing algorithm that's next to impossible to effectively implement using ASICs.

Well that explains why I couldn't find any mine to Asic in google

I might try to mine minero with a RX 480 but I will first keep looking for more profitable alternatives

More proftable is RX 470/570 it has almost same hashrate but cost a lot less. I've post my results here:

It's not a problem, just that's not mining Monero with a Scrypt miner. It's mining Scrypt and getting paid in Monero - big difference.

Bit like saying your petrol car can power your house - by doing taxi work and then using the money to pay utility company.

Yes - its by saying.. but its possible.
and its not so hard to run test l3+ with test on 24-48h with chosen XMR coin be paid.
Difference very small. So You with l3+ can work and mine XMR (NOT DIRECTLY) but no matter how - if its still profitable and can do it - you can.

Scrypt not scrypt - asic or not.. Possible  YES! and almost price go like with GPU directly.

Everything is possible

Yeah, but by that definition mining bitcoin is possible by growing apples. Indeed, orchards are very profitable right now, etc, etc....
