Maybe, but ETN might not make any changes

I've updated first post with new links.

Due to all the cryptonight algo forks.. i wonder if aeon the cryptnonight-lite algo coin may end of being one of the most profitable coins to mine with this miner (something the bitmain miner won't be able to mine?)

Thoughts?

Add to the above list:
EDL - says will change POW algo
TRTL - says will change POW algo
XUN - says will change POW algo

However, we got some playing ostrich here:
IRD - doesn't see problem with ASICs; about to get rekt
ITNS - taking the "wait and see" approach
DERO - also taking the "wait and see" approach, but says algo change ready to implement if necessary

The other Cryptonight coin I'm mining is SUP, and they're forking with XMR....this is getting sad....these miners are going to be DOA.  

I feel for those that bought these miners   

The ROI that will immediately drop after a couple weeks of Antminer X3s and Baikal Giant Ns mining? XMR is forking on March 28th. Where do you think those hundreds of Mh/s are going to go lol (most likely ETN/GRFT)? That in itself is going to drop profits almost right off the bat in itself (unless price goes up, but lets be honest we're in a bear market).

People are speculating XMR could drop ~.7Gh/s FRICKEN GIGAHASH (the obnoxious net hash growth it had in the last 2 months). If you're looking at profitability calculators right now as a base and think you're going to get remotely close to those numbers you're in for a big surprise  .  If anything the GPU miners are the ones that will get a massive profitability increase when the fake ASIC inflated nethash of XMR gets destroyed post fork. I suspect cryptonight coins post anti ASIC POW algo will make a comeback in the top 10 whattomine coins like back in the day.

All this is not even taking into account the fact that almost every single CryptoNight coin has already said they will fork.

XMR - Confirmed POW algo change
ETN - Confirmed POW Algo change
GRFT - Confirmed POW algo change
IPBC - Confirmed POW algo change
XTL - Confirmed POW algo change

Would not be surprised is those Bitmain scums try to release some bull MoneroCash crap in the future.

I haven't got any shipping details too. I was hoping for the 72 hours shipping, but no

asicminermarket.com still be nothing response 

lost my money....

why you think ASIC and BAIKAL declare the real Value ... lol
That means that you didn't buy from them ....
So $3800 IS Winning .... I am not supporting that store but I just saying why to lose money and pay group buys and ebay and expensive re-sellers ....
Money is money , you don't through them around

Eastshore.xyz has them for 4399$ and 90$ declared value so basically  no import taxes.

Yes they sold out .... it's a bitmain strategy to make it more wanted .... I said it again better get S9 miners and wait till the summer boom of bitcoin ... you will make more cash that investing to these doorstops 12k ....

SEARING
There is no point of group buy when asicminermarket.com has the miner $3800 ,, so $200 more than BAIKAL and free shipping .... group buy for what...
It's baikal behind him ....

etn is dead coin anyway...soon it will be 100 sats

He said like 3 times during interview that ETN will follow monero on POW update

Richard Elis annonce on a video that ETN will not block asics mining. You should all watch this video and see how Richard Elis piss on our head !! This guy doesn't car about miner or whatever. I was a big fan of ETN and this idiot clearly piss on my head.

The best solution is to stop mining ETN to show him what community can do !!

Matttev good luck with you ROI.

You mean that unofficial Twitter post? Look at their Github work, it will take them forever
This coin is the one I'm counting for ROI with Baikal N

Monero has announced fork on March 28, and several of the common miners for CN (stak-xmr and xmrig to my specific knowlage) have already updated their code for the new algorithm.

Electronium (ETN) also announced they would be forking, but I've not seen a specific timeframe for them yet.

Barnum is outdated.
It's not a fool born every minute any more, it's more like one born every SECOND.

There is also the question of how BIG batch 1 was. If it was only a few hundred, instead of Bitmain's tendancy to release batches of a few thousand, it wouldn't TAKE all that many folks that DON'T know about the Monero fork.

Sold out apparently. Whether they are paid for on time is another matter.

Good points, I'm also going to wait out this craziness and see where it all goes, but I got to laughing really hard after clicking on your link.  When I first got into mining, I mined Infinium-8 like crazy, I have so many Infinium-8 that are completely worthless.  

i feel like these companies know something b4 all of us -- the fact that they r releasing these - )of course after mining )     

but they must have a purpose --

bitmain will not just screw all thur customers --

u can use the D3 as an example --yes it was a bad move --- the 1st quick batch did well --   but they keep pushing and being a successful company -- and making products that make money for their customers

I hate to admit all that -- especially being a miner myself


but isn't this the future ?


and what --- all these new fast fast asics are really going to be garbage b4 they r shipped --

yes it seams that way


but sure we r not missing something ?
