Bitmain is the amongst one of the most innovative company when it comes to CryptoMiners Hardwares. Bitmain is most famous for their ASIC miners, among them is the AntMiner S9 & with the new released Miner T9. As we all know mining depends upon the difficulty and the block size hence ensuring to have the Latest Hardware is the key to success, but the older ones are too very useful as they could be used to mine other altcoins or could be resold at good price, hence the overall investments on these mining hardwares is positive choice and worthy.

Since the release of the new version from the company with enhanced features and most hashrates is kicking the miners to do the fulfilment. This time, Bitmain announced the new release of New Scrypt Miner, the AntMiner L3. If you were on the market for long you would remember how Company cancelled and stopped the production of the AntMiner L1, which ends up not giving the good profitable returns.

The L3 Miner is already showing the sighs of good hash rates. Since released L3 miner is sold more than thousands units and showed good results.

On the release of the unit, Charlie Lee, founder of Litecoin got his first MintMiner L3 in January 2017 and tested and tweeted the performance of the Miner. In the Tweet says, the miner with 250MH/s with the power consumption of only 400W.

Just received an Antminer L3 to mine LTC. 250 MH/s @ 400W is 2.5x the efficiency of the A4! And it’s quiet. I’m impressed. @BITMAINtech
