Litecoin Miners — AustraliaLitecoin miners run the Scrypt algorithm, and they carry one significant advantage over every other class of mining hardware: merge mining. A single Scrypt machine mines Litecoin and Dogecoin at the same time, from the same power draw, earning both coins simultaneously. You are not choosing between them — you get both.Why that matters for the economicsBecause the electricity cost is shared across two revenue streams rather than one, Scrypt hardware often holds up better than SHA-256 Bitcoin miners in high-electricity-cost markets. Australia is precisely such a market. When you model returns, make sure you are counting both the LTC and DOGE output.The L-series rangeBitmain’s Antminer L7 established the current generation and remains widely deployed. The L9 improved efficiency substantially. The L11 is the current flagship, with hydro-cooled variants available for higher density and quieter operation. Measure Scrypt hardware in MH/s rather than TH/s, and as always, judge efficiency in J/MH rather than raw hashrate.Practical considerationsScrypt flagships are power-hungry, typically drawing over 3,000W, which puts them well past a standard Australian 10A power point and into dedicated-circuit territory. Air-cooled L-series machines are also notably loud. If you are installing anywhere near a living space or a neighbour, look seriously at the hydro-cooled variants.
