yummy

I knew they had one in works even said so a month or so back after bitmian put up a litecoin pool on there site, i knew it then, but my question now is it real this time ?. the L1 was suppose to do about the same speed but was a lot cheaper then im sure this will be.
IS this is a bitmain chip and not INNOSILICON A4 chip and it looks a lot like a A4 .. ?.

IF this is real it runs better then the A4 does at 256 MH and when the L1 went on sell it was suppose to do the same as the L3 is going to do  ? . if i remember right.


ANTMINER L1
L1 for sales $5/MH/s ships in December 2014 or 15, I forget but never happen .
599 USD    ( 0.625 BTC )

This price tag is 2k + sigh greed here we go again and bitmain trying to get it all. no wonder they dropped the fee for PPS Mining on there pool, why not with this coming out.


edit: the L1 if it had happen would have done 120 @ 380 watts, 3 of those still would have been better imo then a A 2 @ 110 mh or A4 at 256 mh by maybe 300 to 400 watts at the wall  with more speed then the A2 and all most the same speed as the A4 together. I may try my Best to get a a few L3's.if it is real, i was gonna buy a few L1's even had the cash waiting.

This is gonna hurt INNOSILICON A4 if it really does 400 watts @ 250 MH, the first few batches of a the A4 are 136 MH @ 500 watts and the 256 MH @ 1000 watts give or take a few .


so yea this gonna get very interesting to see if they try to take over Alt mining that includes if  they some how come up with a miner that can do all alt coins, if they do say bye bye to GPU Mining for sure ,
I hope they don't ruin it for us.

notice i said I hope they don't and not they can't, if they can out do INNOSILICON like this they can, if they really want to . all ways remember nothing is impossible the sky is the limit .

So it has 4 cards and each one draws 100w  (400w/4).
Why then does it need 2 x 6pin connector per card?

Seems a little over engineered, no?

Or is that the power spec per card?

all bitmian miner after the S1 came with two PCIe plugs or more per board that I'm a ware of, even the S3 does/did but with the S3 you didn't need to use both plugs even my C1 which you could use one plug on each broad and still run at max speed with no issue , all it was a water cooled overclocked S3 , I stil have it and it works like it did when i bought it ,you could, i did because, it made me feel safer using all the plugs per board etc . the R1 and U3 didn't but are usb.


Sadly yea ..

quick math = no ROI

Would you like to hire an interpreter and drive another group-buy Longsnowsm?

Just kidding! 

With the crazy jump in difficulty since Dec. 27 potentially explained by these L3 units, the jump in hashrate would equate to about 1200 units being activated in a new data hall.  I'm guessing the bugs are well on their way to being worked  out.

I read some place the reason for the difficulty drop right now is the holiday and may stay that way till after china's holiday are over around March 2017 or so . then it will it turn into a BTC difficulty, I'm Sure,then so much for script mining when that happen unless we can get cheaper better miners from another company other then bitmain which is unlikely. I do see it went back up to 70628.2150962 but also may drop back down till March or keep going up or down till then, then  it won't stop. "( sadly.

PS: the only hope we have beyond GPU home mining is SideHack for BTC miners as far as I know there is no one for Script miners and side won't make script miners and has said it a few times and not in a nice way .

At least if you want one L3 you don't need to make a group which is nice i guess.
