Best Scrypt Miner To Date

As we all know, mining changes quickly no matter what currency you're looking at.

For a while, scrypt mining really dropped off my radar with lack-luster hardware, it just didn't seem like a viable choice. Recently, however, there has been some great hardware released with very reasonable power consumption.


Enter: Antminer L3+

This miner is an absolute beast with some of the greatest ROI in the current mining marketplace. Here are the specs:
  • Power: 800
  • Hash Rate: 504.0 MH/s
  • Mines: Litecoin
  • Power cost per day: $ 2.30
  • Return Per Day: $ 39.35
  • Profit Ratio: 1708%
  • Return Per Week: $ 275.48
  • Return Per Month: $ 1,180.61
  • Return Per Year: $ 14.36 K
  • Cost per MH/s: $ 3.26
  • Payback period: 41 days
  • Annual Return Percentage: 873%

Theses units sell for about 1600USD a piece and at the 800W power consumption, you may be able to run 2 comfortably off of one circuit. 

The one drawback is the purchasing/delivery. Each unit is generally a pre-order or if it's not, the price of each unit is inflated a lot (approximately 2x the normal price). It makes sense that retailers will add markup to items, but a lot of the time the markup in the crpyto space is just insanely high.

Before making the purchase I'd check sites like CryptoCompare to see how your ROI will look based on what you can actually get one of these units for.

BTC-Flow

Today I'll be giving a bit of a look into BTC-Flow . It's a game based bitcoin faucet that has me pretty into it. No more of the jumping from site to site clicking your way through pop ups and other fun activities. The concept of the game is that you run a  company. At first, your company mines bitcoin and has a earning rate of 0.0000015 BTC/Min and your max capacity is 0.000012 BTC. Your part in running this company is getting the bitcoin from your company either before or after your max capacity is hit. You then need to click once your bitcoin capacity is reached to put that balance into your main bank. From here you basically repeat this as much as you'd like. If you really enjoy this, you can "level" your business with bitcoin to increase capacity and earning/min at any point. If you like faucets, you need to check this out . BTC-Flow.com

PoolWarz SHA-256 Auto-switching

What Is Pool Warz? PoolWarz is a pool (with a collection of different mine able coins) that has a little bit of a different approach to the set up of your miners. Creators of this site also bring you CoinWarz , and RigWarz , now have their own pool, they're not linked to one another however. Within PoolWarz , when you create a worker, you only point your hardware at one URL, as opposed to multiple different URLs for separate coins. At anytime you can alter what coin this worker is mining by changing where it's pointer (or "assigned" to ) on your dashboard in your PoolWarz account. Subscription There is an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to PoolWarz for a 0% fee (as opposed to their standard 2% fee) and also getting the ability for "auto-switching". If you've been mining for a while, you'll know the concept of "auto-switching" because it's the same as a multipool basically, except you keep all the coins you mine. ...
