What make cards are those? 700 mem and 70 power target? Am surprised it’s not crashing on you.

My avg is 72-74 on power target and 150 on core and 550 on mem. Stability over profitability

They are ZOTAC mini's, and rock solid, the one card starts crashing when i push mem to 750, the other one is still fine with it.

What are your 1070's giving you daily?

How viable is the L3 for mining at the moment? Can one really expect to make a decent profit in the current market?

I should probably clarify my question... I've gone through the thread a bit and it seems the L3+ is the way to go. A mate of mine is interested in getting involved in mining, and has crunched the numbers a bit. Thing is, he seems rather idealistic, talking about breaking even after 110 days etc. Now he wants me to invest with him and a couple of others. Can anyone reasonably expect to break even after such a short period or should I steer clear of such a venture? Just trying to get a pulse from folks more clued up than me here :)

My D3 PSUs are finally en route and today I see this

Though if you look at those figures...
Cost per day is $1, ergo profit per week is $1 :wtf:

Clearly they're working on the past day, past week and past month's figures.
Seems my D3s won't even get turned on lol.

Anyone mining X11 and making $$ elsewhere?
D3 s are doing 6 to 8 dollars each a day. Why is power cost on your calculator 0.19 us cents. Should be 0.08 to 0.1. Profit about 5 dollars a day so not yet time to switch off. If Hemp industry adopts Dash then D3 will be saved. I will be buying 3x L3 plus and 3xS9 for farm next. Spread risk and these two are performing consistently

Thanks, did that :) It doesn't take into account a rise in difficulty though... so as the market continues to get flooded with L3s, so the profit goes down, not so?
No one can really estimate how much difficulty will or will not spike. Reason Dash spiked horribly was due to outrageous profits first gen miners got. Ltc and BTC have had lower consistent values do not as much fomo or hype driving sales

If the market isn't flooded yet....
Does anyone know how many of those things are out there by now? Must be loads. Same with S9s. Both are still profitable. As an L3+ owner, I'd say don't get one.

Wow, ok... So that's total? Roughly R6500 per L3+?

Also remember the ZAR value of your efforts is a moving target. The BTC/$US and $US/ZAR exchange rates are also huge variables. View the earnings and the value as two separate entities, i.e. "I have this much BTC" and worry about how much that actually is rather than "I have this much ZAR because I have this much BTC that's valued at so much $US"

But yeah, R6500- is a safe assumption. My last 4 weeks of mining yielded a little over R9k though, wo not too unhappy with that.

What pool are you guys using for ETN?

Suprnova seems bit unlucky finding blocks lol, maybe it was just yesterday.

Wonder how long the ETN hacking tests are going to last.

3-4 weeks as of 14 November according to Hackerone.

It's only the wallets and their login system that are undergoing testing so if you really need to transact, get the core client from github and import your keys there.

What's everyone mining with their GPU's these days? I'm bored with Nicehash, and VTC mining is too slow, its more profitable to mine Nicehash and then buy VTC.

I will only direct mine and trade once I have 1gh/s of gpu power. For now its nicehash for consistency
