What's the most profitable cryptonight coin at the moment that's not monero?
ETN, SUMO... Look it up in whattomine.com I don't see how can you make any money out of this after Monero switches though. The $25 per day you see today will evaporate pretty soon. 
we started a group buy here

What's the most profitable cryptonight coin at the moment that's not monero?
60W and three 6pin connectors? Why? Strange...
Probably a typo and the actual power consumption could be 600w.
With non-english speaking companies like this, they don't really put a lot of emphasis on english editing..
But then again, 600 is a simple universal number.
See image in the first msg and find laptop power
Do you put a portable power supply to illustrate the low consumption by mistake?
I'd put this as a risky investment, a code change and your device is useless. Monero is implementing it and I would suspect other Monero forms are waiting to see the outcome before implementing it as well.

if this miner really exists, they already used it for months and now they are trying to get rid of their used hardware before it becomes useless, because of the upcoming cryptonight v7 forks
this could be also a reason for the hashrate increase for many cryptonight coins(yeah botnets too)
many importand cryptonight coins already announced to fork.

Yeah this is probably true and the fact that they are shipping asics from moment you paid them support this,just clean them from dust and shipp them to the unsuspected customers.Many people were emailing them about if its posible to mine xmr with it and probably saying the same what we are doing now this could be also a reason for the hashrate increase for many cryptonight coins(yeah botnets too)

i will bail out on this one, to expensive, 1250$ would be a good price, but they will find enough sheeps who buy that miner...
Hopefully they won't. But the uninformed masses never cease to amaze me. This thing is dead on arrival. I'd love to see baikal lose millions with this ASIC due to all the major coins switching algos (Monero and IPBC confirmed so far) but they've probably already made their investment back by mining with these for a few months before announcing them, unfortunately.
They can change algos as many times they like, if it stays below or at 1mb requirement you will be able to mine it with asic
No, you won't be able to. You can't reprogram an Application Specific Integrated Circuit. If it were an FPGA, then yes, they could potentially make it work with a new algo.
Do we know if that asic is FPGA or ASIC, to many people FPGA is "asic" too
So happy to see this thing dead on arrival.. XMR + IPBC switching algos, with hopefully other CN coins to follow. Fuck you, baikal. 
Has any other CN coin announced support for the switch yet? Sumo and ETN, for example.

are they a trustworthy company?
Anyone bought from them?

Yes can we trust Baikal?
Someone ordered it already?

I have ordered 240 miners from baikal (230 x10's, 10 giant B's). All of them arrived on time and performed EXACTLY how they said they would. I highly doubt the Baikal N will be DOA/SCAM and I think they will perform great.
I didn't mean dead on arrival in the literal "product is broken and needs to be repaired" sense. The coins that this ASIC is meant to mine are changing the mathematics that need to be processed, and unlike a general processor, an ASIC can't be adapted. It can only do the one thing it was made to do. You literally couldn't ask any mining ASIC what 2+2 is, it wouldn't be able to answer you.
Monero POW is changing to CryptoNightV7 in about 15 days, so I don't think you can sell this as a monero miner..
Just saying
That's great news. If these ASICs are real and are being sold, then they've been used for mining for a long time now, and they're only selling them in order to dump them because they'll soon be scrap. And if Monero changes, most/all of the other cryptonight coins will surely follow pretty quickly. I'd like to hope for a revival in cpu/vega mining.Just saying
On the sad side, if these ASICS are real, and their specs are real, then it could be a trivial task for someone to make new ASICs for the new algo. Is it a trivial task?
Trivial or not, it won't make sense financially since Monero will be modifying the algorithm every 6 months. It's not feasible to make an ASIC for that.

So why the China mining farms spend thousand of kWh, instead of using this one?

exactly, hashrate spike was way too high to be related to release of overpriced aftermarket vega gpus, or creation of new botnets (most botnets already mined monero in 2017) this could be also a reason for the hashrate increase for many cryptonight coins(yeah botnets too)
