Is the Bitmain Antminer L3++ still profitable for Litecoin and Dogecoin mining in Australia in 2026?

The Bitmain Antminer L3++ produces 580 MH/s on the Scrypt algorithm at approximately 942 watts. Through Scrypt merge mining it mines both Litecoin and Dogecoin simultaneously from the same power draw. Profitability in 2026 depends on LTC and DOGE prices and current Scrypt network difficulty. At Australian electricity rates of $0.25 to $0.35 per kWh the L3++ sits in a narrow margin band, making it best suited to operators on off-peak tariffs, commercial rates, or solar generation. Run WhatToMine with Scrypt, 580 MH/s, 942W, and your exact electricity rate before committing.

Which mining pools support Scrypt merge-mining of Litecoin and Dogecoin with the Antminer L3++ in Australia?

Antpool, ViaBTC, F2Pool, and Litecoinpool.org all support Scrypt merge-mining allowing you to earn both LTC and DOGE rewards simultaneously from one pool connection. Configure your primary stratum as Litecoin and Dogecoin rewards accumulate automatically. Choose pool servers in Asia-Pacific regions such as Singapore or Tokyo to minimise round-trip latency from Australian locations. PPLNS payout structures reward consistent uptime and suit always-on ASIC miners like the L3++.

What electrical requirements does the Antminer L3++ have for Australian home or shed installation?

The Antminer L3++ draws approximately 942 watts continuously at 240V which equates to around 4 amps. While this is within the capacity of a standard Australian 10 amp GPO it is strongly recommended to run the L3++ on a dedicated circuit to avoid nuisance tripping from combined household loads. The L3++ ships with an APW7 PSU compatible with Australian 240V mains. If installing in a shed or garage have a licensed electrician verify the circuit and cabling is rated for continuous sustained load as required by AS/NZS 3000:2018.

How loud and hot is the Antminer L3++ and can it run in a home environment in Australia?

The Antminer L3++ produces significant fan noise typically around 76 dB at load which is not suitable for shared living spaces or home offices. In the Australian summer particularly in Western Australia, Queensland, and South Australia, ambient shed or garage temperatures can push inlet air temperatures above the comfortable operating range for air-cooled miners. Ensure the installation space has dedicated ventilation directing hot exhaust air outside, clear intake space, and consider supplemental cooling during peak summer months. A dedicated well-ventilated mining space is strongly recommended for year-round Australian operation.

Product Details

The Bitmain Antminer L3++ is a proven Scrypt ASIC miner delivering 580 MH/s at approximately 942 watts, purpose-built for Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) merged mining. Released in 2018, the L3++ was Bitmain's most powerful Scrypt ASIC at the time and remains one of the most widely deployed Scrypt miners globally — valued for its reliable hashrate delivery, straightforward four-board architecture, and well-documented pool compatibility. This unit is sold complete with power supply and cable included, ready to connect and mine.

The L3++ is built around 288 BM1485 Scrypt ASIC chips spread across four hash boards — 72 chips per board — running at 1.62 J/MH efficiency. Two 12038 fans provide the airflow required to keep the hash boards within operating temperature across Australia's warm climate zones. Connectivity is via standard Ethernet RJ45, with Bitmain's web-based control panel providing access to pool configuration, frequency tuning, and live performance data. The L3++ is compatible with all major Scrypt mining pools including LitecoinPool.org, ViaBTC, F2Pool, and Prohashing.

Litecoin and Dogecoin use the same Scrypt proof-of-work algorithm, enabling merged mining — the L3++ can mine both simultaneously on compatible pools such as ViaBTC and Prohashing, earning rewards from both networks with no additional hardware cost or hashrate loss. This makes the L3++ particularly attractive for altcoin miners looking to maximise return from a single ASIC investment. Additionally, the L3++ is compatible with a broad range of other Scrypt-based altcoins including DigiByte (Scrypt), GameCredits, and Florincoin.

As a secondary-market unit, the L3++ offers Australian miners access to Scrypt hashing power at a fraction of the cost of newer Scrypt ASICs. At 942W wall power draw, profitability is sensitive to electricity rates — the L3++ is best suited to miners with access to electricity below $0.15/kWh. The included APW7 PSU supports 220–264V AC input, which is compatible with standard Australian 240V single-phase supply. A licensed electrician should be consulted for appropriate circuit sizing and installation to comply with AS/NZS 3000:2018 wiring rules.
