Fluminer L1 Pro Profitability — LTC+DOGE Merged Mining
Is the Fluminer L1 Pro profitable?
Fluminer's L1 Pro sits in the gap between home units and full ASICs: 6 GH/s at 1,400 W (approx. manufacturer spec), ~0.23 J/MH — near-L9 efficiency in a machine drawing less than half the power. Respect the draw: 1,400 W is ≈11.7 A at 120 V, right at the 80% continuous limit of a standard 15 A household circuit — plan a dedicated circuit or 240 V before ordering, not after.
The only honest answer is a live one: revenue moves with LTC and DOGE prices and network hashrate every day. It earns like a small ASIC and draws like one too — settle the circuit question in the spec table before the profit question above it. The break-even electricity figure is the line — pay less per kWh than that and the machine earns, pay more and it burns.
Why both coins count
Every serious Scrypt profitability number counts both reward streams. Through AuxPoW merged mining, the same hashes earn full Litecoin and full Dogecoin block rewards on one power bill — LTC-only math understates Fluminer L1 Pro revenue by the entire DOGE share. The mechanics are on our LTC+DOGE merged mining calculator, which this page's math mirrors exactly.
Specs & physical reality
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Factory bin — 6 GH/s | 6 GH/s · 1,400 W · 0.23 J/MH |
| Input power | 100–240 V |
| Current draw | ≈11.7 A at 120 V — at the 80% continuous-load limit of a standard 15 A circuit; plan a dedicated circuit or 240 V. Not a power-strip machine. |
| Heat output | ≈4,777 BTU/hr (1,400 W — all of it becomes room heat) |
| Noise | ≈50–55 dB (manufacturer claim, unverified) — constant fan noise, office-loud |
| Warranty | varies by brand, seller and region — get the term in writing before paying; used units typically carry none |
| Spec source | Fluminer — approx. manufacturer figures; real units vary by bin, firmware and temperature |
FAQ
- Does the Fluminer L1 Pro mine LTC and DOGE at the same time?
- Yes — Scrypt machines merge-mine. The same proof of work is submitted to both chains, earning full rewards on each. Most major LTC pools credit DOGE automatically alongside LTC.
- What does the revenue figure exclude?
- Transaction fees on both chains (small next to subsidies, so figures are slightly conservative), cooling power, and difficulty drift. The 2027 Litecoin halving is a scheduled cut, not drift — the payback tile flags it when your horizon crosses it.
- How do I actually get paid in DOGE?
- Point the machine at a merged-mining pool — most major LTC pools (ViaBTC, F2Pool, Antpool among them) credit DOGE automatically alongside LTC. You mine one Scrypt job; the pool pays both coins to the addresses you set, on its normal payout schedule and fees. Nothing extra to configure on the machine.
