I bought a few. Not that I have particularly high hopes for it - I'm pretty sure Bitmain will find a way to screw us, this is just a gamble on how soon that happens... I'm guessing they might keep profitability hopes alive until ~July.
I bough 1 piece only,
deal seems good even difficulty is X2 within 2 months
but I am not sure if difficulty X5 in 2-3 months
I think we will see 5x difficulty because LTC retargets every 3-4 days on average.
Plus don't forget all the units on hashnet they have available for contract are technically what they should be shipping out in may/june/july They can ship early if they choose to do so, but they won't. Just my 2 cents.
Edit: At 500k difficulty you are making $230 [if LTC doesn't rise] and at 1Million you are making $115 before electricity cost. So goodluck essentially Bitmain has screwed all the miners again.. like always.

Deal is good now, I agree. The only thing I'm worried is that with release of these miners, litecoin price will go down like before. I used to have high hopes for segwit activation, but I'm now thinking price goes up but keeps going down from here out. Hopefully it won't be a slow death like last time. July people are really screwed no joke. The only way out is if everyone holds the litecoins they mine, but most people will not be doing that.
