All that needs to be said

It's a Pre Order. December deliver is not a gurantee, look at all the others, Alpah, Tech, Flower tech, Fib, KNCminer, late on their deliveries.

IF is gets delivered in December (during the holidays, which we know is the best time to ship anything!!!). that is 3 months from now. That is like 3 years in the non crpyto world.

Will it ROI. Well Difficulty is near 36,000 right now. Where was it 3 months ago? Oh head 15,000. It went up 140%. So by December the difficulty will probably be around 86,000. So how long does it take a Bitman L1 to ROI at 86,000 difficulty? Based on current LTC BTC prices... 178 days. And this is assuming that difficulty will be fixed at 86000 for the 178 days. If we assume a modest 2% increase we are talking 239 days.

Will it ROI? It all depends on the world you think you live in. One that suspends reality where you ignore the facts and shove fists full of dollars at preorder nightmares or a grounded world where the data speaks for itself. Do you believe in math or faith.

Not going to ROI if my calculation is right... Have electricity to pay Sad

No Hardware, Not this one, not anything... Nothing can reach a return on the investment. So... NO. Bad idea. Expect to lose your investment. Check calculators with a difficulty change over time to see if in 1 month you will be making the same... you won't be... there is simply too much hardware being brought online by too many manufacturers and they have only hurt themselves. Do not buy hardware, you will loose your investment. They are now knowingly trying to sell you goods they know you cannot profit from, but simple calculators say that you will.
Good Luck.

You need to power them with a external PSU, which some people may not consider "plug-n-play." That said, the configuration is webbased and they are as straight forward as the come.

You may need to make a slight modification to your broadband router, but many people here are more than happy to assist!

Cheers.

Let me clarify. I cannot mine using GPU's because it's too complicated code-wise.

So do these antminers come preloaded with some simple UI and mining software like you see on other rigs from BFL or Cointerra. I hate to even mention BFL but they do have units which are plug and play.

Cheers!

Yes, they have a web-based configuration and monitoring system built into the machines. Look for Dogie's threads on setup for more information.

Cheers.

Yeah, the S1's and S3's a really really easy to get up and running with very little tech knowledge. It might take you a little "fiddling" time but if you've found the forums (which you clearly have) you can find every step broken down in wonderful detail.

For everyone else, it looks like this is an upgrade kit that essentially turns a S1 into a S3.

Guys, everyone is too hype on this new machine, even scrypt asic is pretty hard to ROI. so think twice..

I'll be silent for now until the release of L1 to the public as per agreement between me and bitmain.

Ok, I'll keep silence too. Lips sealed

But this unit looks very promising.

Are these Bitmain antminers plug and play like Cointerra or do you have to set them up? I'm not a techie so this could be a problem for me when it comes to setting up the mining software.

Thanks!

The main question is, is it profitable?

It could be profitable and all it depends on the how these miners are priced.

Exactly, a lot of people get confused, but profitability depends on the price you paid for your given hashrate

Dont forget about the difficulty increase for scrypt market.

Yes , network difficulty will keep on increasing but still with proper pricing and depending on power costs , ROI can made .

Ill be buying some of theses if theri scrypt miners considering how much hash speed you can generate without using megawatts of power like in SHA mining
