For those of you who are struggling to work out the correct settings for your Antminer D3 & L3+ to mine with Nicehash I have provided the details below.


D3 Settings:
Pool URL:
stratum+tcp://x11.youroptiminalstratumserver.nicehash.com:3336#xnsub
WORKER: walletaddress.workername
PASSWORD: x

Example:
Pool URL: stratum+tcp://x11.usa.nicehash.com:3336#xnsub
WORKER: 37UPzLMoFE7i41qChPPXh7RxPprXWyMZBy.AntminerD3
PASSWORD: x


L3+ Settings
URL: stratum+tcp://scrypt.youroptiminalstratumserver.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub
WORKER: walletaddress.workername
PASSWORD: x

Example:
Pool URL: stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub
WORKER: 37UPzLMoFE7i41qChPPXh7RxPprXWyMZBy.L3+
PASSWORD: x


Note: In the examples above I have selected the USA stratum server. To determiner your optimal server please refer to this guide: https://new.nicehash.com/help/how-can-you-choose-the-optimal-nicehash-stratum-server.

Failover Settings:
As the Antminer allows 3 pools to be setup please ensure enter your optimal server as the first entry and the next two best servers based on your optimal stratum server tests. In the example below I have selected USA as my primary optimal server and Japan and Europe as my failover servers.

Pool URL 1: stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub
WORKER: 37UPzLMoFE7i41qChPPXh7RxPprXWyMZBy.L3+
PASSWORD: x

Pool URL 2: stratum+tcp://scrypt.jp.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub
WORKER: 37UPzLMoFE7i41qChPPXh7RxPprXWyMZBy.L3+
PASSWORD: x

Pool URL 3: stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub
WORKER: 37UPzLMoFE7i41qChPPXh7RxPprXWyMZBy.L3+
PASSWORD: x

Heads up! If there is a space after #xnsub then xnsub won't work! Make sure there are no extra spaces at the end of the pool URL!

Thank you for the heads up.

whats is #xnsub as i dont useit but mine still works?

xnsub = extranonce subscription. The very very short discription is this feature provides a more stable connection to the Nicehash stratum servers.

P.S. Keep an eye on the ASIC setup page on the Nicehash website as they provide updates if your Antminer requires a firmware or patch update. https://www.nicehash.com/asic-mining (via this link scroll down to ASIC tips & Tricks)

I have over clocked my L3+ to 605 mh/s and can you over clock the S9's ?

To confirm you can overclock the S9. As an FYI any Antminer device that is overclocked instantly voids the warranty

Just a heads up... If you don't keep that cool... You'll brick that L3+

Don't push much past the 400-410 Freq range...

I may or may not have done that by accident with an L3+ ... Don't ask - it was stupid.

On my L3+ I'm running at 444 (580Mh\s) and the fan is set at 60%. My Antminers are in a server room and temps range from 47 to 53 degrees celsius. I didnt overclock my D3 miners as they are running at 17500Mh\s with default settings but I did set the fan at 70%.

Thank you, BTC sent.

Is Antminer D3 still profitable?

Hi, the D3 and L3+ are only making around the $21US mark a day. When you consider the large amount of noise, heat and electricity costs I personally thinks its not worth it. If you got a D3 really cheap direct from Bitmain you may get your money back and make a small profit (there are still more batches to be shipped and it will also drop the daily profit).

Update: Nicehash is now showing the D3 running at 17500Mhs is only making $13.25US a day.

Great Post I put this video together after reading your post!
