Make sure you're aware of the risks before buying an L3+ though. We're taking a big gamble buying 3 of them but I'm hoping it will pay off. My gut feeling is that Litecoin will increase in value greatly now, especially as Bitcoin enters a potentially very shaky few months (due to uncertainty and the imminent SegWit developments). It's also the third largest and most popular cryptocurrency (not counting Ripple, which isn't a true, decentralised cryptocurrency). There's also a risk of course that the price could plummet. Nobody really knows. Be aware also of the risks of buying from China. I've not had any issues with Bitmain myself, but a unit could get damaged/lost in transit. You will also need to purchase a power supply with the Antminer and you will be asked to pay duty on both of them (at the usual rate) when they arrive. I don't mean to put you off -- If it wasn't a gamble we felt was worth taking we wouldn't have ordered 3 of them! -- but you do need to be realistic and be prepared for the worst outcome. Quote:

Something else I should mention about the Antminers (if I haven't mentioned it already ) .... they're quite loud!

Regards Windows, you can install pirated Windows 7 and then get free upgrade to 10 for people who use assistive technologies (I have tried it so I know it works). So it will work happily but I need to consider long term effects if I was to scale up operation re-investing my returns. Nobody will probably care I did it for 1 or 2 home PC's but if i ramp up production in future and use them to earn money it could come back to bite me. I think it I was to go over 2 rigs- 8 cards than it might be worthwhile to invest my time in Linux. I understand you can buy pre-configured SD card with Linux for this at reasonable cost and you do not need to do much other than entering your wallet address. But obviously you might need to reconfigure, update or change it in future as the things evolve. Quote:

A while ago, when we first started mining with the AMD RX 480 cards, I conducted a number of tests, adjusting GPU/memory speed and voltages using Wattman. I haven't performed any similar tests with nVidia cards, so I don't know if they would be any different, but what I concluded was that the only worthwhile adjustment is a slight reduction in GPU clock speed. Anything else seemed to provide no beneficial results or caused instability.
This is the results I recorded:

What does this general decline in payout over the last month represent? Every card on the profitability checker shows this same pattern. Is that representative of gradually increasing mining difficulty? Is it going to continue downward, or does it go up and down with some external factor?

This is what I am getting wiht 2x RX 480 stock BIOS, VRAM 2100 on one card, 2200 on other card. GPU frequency -15%, power -20% in Wattman on both cards. Power consumption 390-400W for the whole PC from socket.

I intend to experiment with mining directly to see if it would be more profitable at times when NiceHash's profitability is low, but I haven't gotten around to doing that yet. You can't beat NiceHash for simplicity though and mining directly to a pool would result in altcoin payments rather than payments in Bitcoin (which may or may not be desirable). Quote:

Thanks that makes sense now. I hadn't made the connection that the value of the hashing power goes up and down as well as the value of the currency itself.

Out of the 2 cards I received today 1 seemed to respond well to BIOS mod but started to get errors later so have to switch back to stock BIOS.
I am either unlucky with 4 cards failing to respond well to BIOS mods or it's just not happening for RX480. Might try RX580 when they are in stock.
