Boost Performance or Optimize Power Usage on AntMiner S9 and L3 ASIC Miners

14, Nov 2022

The Bitmain AntMiner S9 series for Bitcoin (BTC) mining and AntMiner L3 series for Litecoin (LTC) or other Scrypt crypto coins re now legendary as although a bit old already they are still being used around the world and can still be nice to play around for various custom projects. You can pick these ASIC miners pretty cheap at the moment and use them as space heaters with a little tinkering to make them not so noisy. And they will not only provide you with heat or the cold winter days, but will also pay for some of the electricity they use by mining some crypto coins for you. So, although they may not be profitable if you think about them as miners, they can be turned into great space heaters that will still be better than regular heaters that only use a lot of electricity to generate heat.

If you still have and Antminer S9 or AntMiner L3 series of ASIC miners from Bitmain, or get some used units cheap, then you might want to check out the Hiveon ASIC Firmware for these devices as it will allow you to easily tweak them for either performance or efficiency. There are easy to use profiles to help you run the miner at the exact settings you want to with multiple options in between optimal power efficiency with reduced hashrate or highest possible hashrate. So, you can turn your AntMiner L3+ into a power efficient 500 MH/s Scrypt miner with 660W of power usage, or a 720 MH/s miner at 1300W of power usage or a few more options in between. Then you can head on to dual mining Litecoin (LTC) and DogeCoin (DOGE) for maximum earnings and the same applies to the AntMiner S9 series where you could be mining Bitcoin with a hashrate of 8.8 TH/s at 680W of power usage or up to 19.1 TH/s with 1880 Watts of power if you manage to properly keep the miner cool.

But HiveOn does not only offer alternative mining firmware of these ASIC miners, it comes with a complete management platform ASIC Hub for easier mining with ASIC miners, especially if you have more than just one miner. And there are not only the older S9 and L3 models supported with alternative firmware, newer Bitmain AntMiner ASICs are also available for use such as the S19 models or the T19. The ASIC Hub supports much more ASIC mining devices with their standard firmware from Bitmain, WhatsMiner, Avalon (Canaan), Innosilicon, Ebang etc. So, if you still haven’t checked out what features and advantages you might get with your mining hardware. Then there is also the HiveOS for GPU miners by HiveOn, if you still haven’t checked this one out as well.

Antminer L3+ Blissz Modified Firmware For Improved Performance

14, Jan 2018

If you are a miner using Bitmain’s Antminer L3+ Scrypt ASICs for mining Litecoin (LTC) or another Scrypt-based altcoin you might be interested in checking out the Blissz modified firmware for the L3+. A while ago we have covered the Antminer D3 Blissz Modified Firmware For Improved Performance and the good news is that the L3+ modified firmware offers pretty much the same improvement and features as for the X11 ASIC. Optimized power usage and performance, extra features and various improvements are available, though in order to take full advantage of the modified firmware you will need to know what you are doing. Also note that this modified firmware does come with a 1.5% developer fee built-in, though the improvements it might being are definitely worth the dev fee and if you do not like what you get you can always get back to the stock Bitmain firmware.

KNC Titan 2.0 Miner is a Convincingly Looking SCAM

16, May 2017

If you end up on a website claiming to be the relaunched KNC Miner trying to sell you a new Scrypt ASIC miner dubbed Titan 2.0, then you should know that this is not a website related in any way to the new owners of KNC Miner after last year the company went bankrupt prior to the last halving of Bitcoin (BTC). The KNC TITAN 2.0 miner promises to deliver 750 MHS Scrypt hashrate at 1300W power usage and a ready for mining kit including a power supply is being advertised with at price of $1499 USD, but it seems that this is not an actual product and just a convincingly looking SCAM trying to steal some of your hard earned coins (accepted payments are only in crypto – BTC, LTC, ETH, STEEM or XRP). So stay away and do not get mislead by the seemingly good offer, it is simply not real!

If you want to get an up to date specification wise Scrypt ASIC miner for mining Litecoin (LTC) or other crypto currencies, then you should go for either Innosilicon A4 Dominator or the more recently announced Bitmain AntMiner L3+. Both of these are confirmed actual products and work just fine for Scrypt mining, though you should still be careful where you buy your mining hardware if it is not directly from the manufacturer! The recent spike in the price of Litecoin (LTC) has sparkled more attention to the altcoin and as a result the number of people trying to profit at the expense of regular users have also increased, so it is advised to be careful what you do with your hard earned crypto coins.
