What huge logistics problems will strip mining the 'side' of the Moon facing away from Earth (the 'darkside') as opposed to strip mining the 'side' facing towards Earth, create?

The only challenge I can see is not logistical but technical - communication with Earth is much more challenging from the other side of the moon. This could be overcome by a relay system: either a series of base stations on the surface or lunar comms satellite(s) would do the trick. However, this would mean increased setup costs.
