Hi,
first post and new to mining nut long time in the IT security industry.
Done so much reading lately on mining and very close to getting involved.
I’m focused on scrypt mining but the hosting facility consultant it talking me out of getting a L9 right now as he says the next gen is coming out in 2025 which will be better.
I have looked into the nextgen and from what I can find (which is not much) there is lokotech coming on Q3 2025 and they dont have a good reputation for meeting timelines.
Also the lokotech next gen machines are are the same hash rate as the L9 with some models hitting the 20 G/H which will be higher then the L9.
My issue which I’d love feedback on is understanding why I should not get a L9 right now when even though there will be newer models in 2025 the L9 will still be comparable in hash rate.
The hosting facility manager was telling me I would go from earning $50 a day with a L9 right now to $5 and that didn’t seem logical to me based on hash rate.
The hosting facility manager was also telling me that DOGE difficulty is going to go up and unless I am running the newest Generation machines I will be loosing out.
I am not convinced but I am sure the hosting manager is right in some aspects. For the more experienced folk here, would you get a L9 now if you had no other machines and where looking to get into mining?
I know I can wait for the next gen machines to come out and then get them but I am worried they will be much more expensive then the L9 is.
Catch 22 I guess, probably just have to make a call and go from there.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
