did you find any trust worthy resellers?

What do you mean?  What should I be using?  I was just assuming anything that has it cheap or Amazon.

Then I guess my question is.  Will the difficultly go up much from now to when the next batch is available?  The reason is I'm getting a loan to buy this and my buddy is asking me to pay him back 2x the price in 6 months.  So should I buy one from a reseller now, or will the difficulty be fine and mean that I can buy it from Bitman themselves when the next batch comes out?  Which will be around September?

First off, you won't HAVE the miner for months unless you buy a used one from someone, or a "July Batch" from a reseller.

Second off, even if you have it in hand by end of September, that still only leaves you about 4.5 months of mining time out of your "6 months" - AND difficulty is going to climb quite a bit as folks finish getting their July batch miners online and then again when folks get the September batch miners and get THOSE online.

 Latency shouldn't be a significant factor, my A2 Scrypt mining farm was only seeing about 1% higher stales when I was running it via a SAT connection at 650-750 ms lag.



 On the plus side for you right now - the only other folks shipping Scrypt miners is Innosilicon with the A4, and those are quite a bit lower efficiency and less than 60% of the hashrate of the L3+ so they seem to be selling slower and not affecting total hashrate nearly as much - and THOSE are also sold out 'till September.




So the next batch will be in a while?  On the website it says the batch will be available shortly, so does shortly mean like two months?

Ammount the Bitman Antminer L3+ Litecoin miner make in the next 6 months?

Hello,
This is my first post here and any help would be very appreciated.

So, I am thinking about buying the next available batch of the Bitman Antminer L3+, which mines litecoin.  Do you think it will be able to make an equivalent of $4000 US in six months?  Also, I will be mining from Shanghai, China, so if there will be higher latency or will make it earn less please count that in too.

I know the based on the current nicehash stats it will work, but since it is so profitable do you think there will be a increase in the mining difficulty or Litecoin unstability that will make this goal not possible?

Thanks for any help!    Cheesy
