*Net/day is income minus electricity at $0.06 per kWh, a typical hosting rate. Income is an estimate before electricity, based on network conditions in late October 2026; it changes daily with coin price and difficulty. Prices in USD; click a model for full specs and the profit calculator.
Is the Antminer L9 profitable right now?
Not at typical hosting prices. At late-October 2026 Litecoin and Dogecoin prices, an L9 earns less than its electricity costs at $0.06 per kWh. The Antminer L9 – 16 GH/s breaks even at about $0.045 per kWh, so the L9 only makes money with very cheap power, or if LTC and DOGE prices rise. Check the numbers for your own power price in the calculator before you buy.
