Bitmain introduces Antminer L9, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) miner customized for coins utilizing the Scrypt algorithm, like litecoin and dogecoin. This fresh prototype offers 16 gigahash per second (GH/s) regarding hashing ability, managing energy effectiveness to 210 joules for every gigahash (J/G).
The just-released Antminer L9 will replace the previous L7 prototype, which was capable of 9 GH/s. This enhancement helps power the output to 16 GH/s, generating energy effectiveness to 210 J/T. Bitmain emphasized an initial offer, provided any individual had the right L9 cost. Between the 4th and 6th of June 2024, the individual will come in for a special discount of $2,000 on his buying L9.

The device has been created for mining Scrypt-oriented cryptocurrencies, such as dogecoin, litecoin, digibyte, and more. Presently, as per the opinion of asicminervalue.com, the L9 holds the sixth position amongst the most prospective miner accessible. It can earn a little over the figure of $30 every day. This comes with a running cost of $0.12 per kilowatt hour (KWh), the consumption of the unit being 3.360 watts (W).

Through Bitmain’s plans of exchanging the Antminer L7 for the further enhanced L9, there are bound to be immense changes in the mining space about the Script algorithm coins—the improved 16 GH/s attribute. Along with better energy effectiveness, it shows an inclination towards the less costly mining space. Presently, the price of the Antminer remains a secret, but in the case of L7, Bitmain had price tagged it at $6,335 each. However, it is now non-existent.
