Hopefully Bitawn will be able to get us another group buy...fingers crossed..

Just registering my interest, if there is another GB, I'm in.

ill be letting you know

Hey @bittawm - I got a mini last time you had a group buy and I'm very glad I did. I only wish I had bought a quad! What a great little cube it is....

Anyway, I am also very interested in buying a quad miner if/when they have more available.

Personally I think that they just saw the Dash price and decided it makes more sense to mine with them than to sell them, so all their stock became a Dash farm, but I would love to be proven wrong and see new ones available.

Was just wondering, if it doesnt matter if theyre joined together or not, then what would be the advantage of ever linking them in the first place?

The main reason being that you only need a single ethernet cable instead of one per Giant.

Oh yup! Very good point. Thx for that

Ya I wouldn't touch those at that price point! There is another chinese re seller on ebay but they are also overpriced. I still overpaid for the 2 minis by a lot with a 450 dollar price point but I am pretty new to this and wanted to dip my toes into it as soon as possible so the premium wasn't an issue for me. Even at that price point it will ROI rather quickly and I think these will remain profitable for a lot longer than say the top bitcoin mining hardware that Bitmain produces.

No biggy on your markup, I got my mini's back in the day when Baikal was selling them at 500usd a pop. At todays price of 300usd and the swing in DASH/MUE/ADZ/DGC/GEO and if someone is smart and pays attention and switch coins often your looking at an ROI of just over 3 months....This unheard of with Asics. Hence why I'm nervous Baikal is going to increase their pricing. Hopefully Bitawn will be able to get us another group buy...fingers crossed..

There is 100% no more discounts on the miners they ship, and I wouldn't be surprised if they increased price by a few $100 shortly if Dash stays above $60. Only reason ROI is so nuts is that there just aren't many ASIC out there. Hell people still GPU mine profitably.

Hi,

I'd like four pieces individually bought Baikal miner 150 MHS separately.
I'm from Europe.
The price agreed on.
If anyone knows about the European dealer Baikal miner Mhs 150 or A900 Mhs let me please write.
I will be very grateful to him.

There is literally no one that resells Baikalminer that has stock at all, and Baikalminer are out of stock themselves. You can buy the A-900 on Alibaba and ebay (I have seen a few last 48 hours) but at insane markups (like $5k for a A-900) due to the crazy ROI.

Why buy a Giant over a Qualdruple?

Giant = 900MHs = $1200 = $1.33 Cost per MHs

Quad = 600MHs = $2400 = $4.00 Cost per MHs

Why not buy 2 Quadruples for $2400 and have 1200MHs?

Actually it is:
Giant = 900 Mh/s = $2380 = $2.644 per Mh/s

Quad = 600 Mh/s = $1200 = $2.0 per Mh/s

With current prices it indeed makes more sense to buy the Quad miner.

Mini miner: http://www.baikalminer.com/ShowProducts.asp?id=466
Quad: http://www.baikalminer.com/ShowProducts.asp?id=467
Giant: http://www.baikalminer.com/ShowProducts.asp?id=468

In fact, if someone was looking to get 900mgs then I think 6xmini's is better buy. 1800usd

But seeing how recent demand for Baikal has sky rocketed, I wouldn't be surprised if Baikal increases the prices back to the old days when they first came out. I hope not, as I plan to purchase more.

are they in stock in any case I missed the group buy are you guys gona open up a new one ?

Count me in for the next group buy that comes up for the 600M Baikal miners! I will for sure get 4 units if the new group buy has the same 10% discount as the ones before. I just bought two minis from someone else and they are on the way with DHL tracking so hopefully they arrive in good working order.

Someone is currently selling 2 brand new ones on ebay.....for a hefty markup I might add....

I thought I'd post this as a heads-up:

I've been talking to Baikal through Skype and ordered one Giant last week. I also sent an e-mail to their e-mail on their website to confirm the Skype contact and BTC address. So I'm (hopefully) good.

However, I noticed that people have been reporting strange behavior from that same Skype contact the last few days. And when I checked, it had also changed name from "being a lot of Baikal contact information" to "mark davis".

So anyone trying to contact Baikal through Skype should be careful - or even better, just don't do it until they update us on the situation!

Even their own thread about how to find the correct Skype profile is now wrong!

Thanks, good to know.

I have never skyped with them... I've done all my buying with them through email... been good so far.

Edit: Typo on the new username.

Edit 2: They have replied and changed the information back. I apologize if I jumped to conclusions - I was only worried that someone might have hacked their Skype account and was trying to scam people. It seems to have been fixed anyway. My bad.
