Welkome to Baikal my friend!
Just for fun you should read the thread in my signature.

Yup, sounds familiar to me. Ive once sent alot more than that for a bulk order. But at that time they were on top of the world dominating the x11 market.
They recieved my payment late, a few days late to be exact, issue was on their side. They told me they can not honor the quantity i paid for. But they will try their best and hope i get lucky if they have enough stock.
I told them to go fuk off and just send my funds back. Done. Never will support this company again. Even if they were selling real live unicorns.

Thanks @Tai_Pan, good read.

@Chan8, did they refund you?

I would love to see a normal website storefront and more payment options. In this day and age it would be nice to see creditcards, paypal, and crypto payment options. I know wire transfers are a pain and scary for a lot of people.

credit card payment gateway, and paypal are very very experience for the merchants / sellers, and they usually need to pay 2 to 3 % of the transaction value, and paypal will add another 1 to 2 %... who wants that additional cost for small quantity high value transactions...
and maybe more importantly, to enable credit card payment or paypal, the merchant acquirers - usually banks will require very strict KYC (know your customer) process, which i don;t think most digital currency players are willing to go through  Tongue Grin Cheesy

I got an email and tried to send the wire transfer but the SWIFT didn't match and I also couldn't fill in the wire form completely.  The bank form only takes so many letters and a few of the details didn't match up.  (A strange detail but it made me worry)

I wrote back an apology explaining that I wasn't sure my transaction wouldn't be complete and I'll wait for DASH or LTC transactions. 

The response was pretty nice. 

In general, I've had good communications with them.  They even fixed my cube for 80 bucks. 

I just wish that they would have a smoother sales process.

You guys see the pics on twitter. Looks like they are close to being complete. They now  have 6 pcie connectors. Their post "we are waiting" I assume was due to the lack of interest in the 2nd batch. However I feel like those of us from batch 1 are the ones waiting. Anyway it looks like things are progressing.

Can you share this picture here please?

Has anyone received payment details that has China Construction Bank (ASIA) Corporation Limited as their Bank?

Did they switch banks?

Having some issues with paying them.  The bank/Branch code does not match the Bank address on my bank's online banking.  However I do see the correct address at another bank/branch code.

Think twice before you paying for them!


My bank transfer is still ongoing because in the weekend my bank are not working. I hope there is some problem and my bank will refuse to do the transfer.

I think something not right about them.

I got this email today from Baikal:

"Hi,

Thank you for your letter.

we will let you know as soon as we received your payment.

Could you also provide your passport. or driving license is also okay.

baikal miner"



I asked them to explain to me why they need my passport. I really interest what they will say. (Soon as I receive the answer I will let you know guys.)

Why they need my passport or my driving license? Also they was asking to send the recite of my money transfer, but they never asked my shipping address!!! Ha-ha Smiley

I would interested what kind of dodge business they doing.  

All together it is sounds very scary.....


Anyone got a single Baikal Gaint X10?  Maybe this product does not exist.





I got the answer:

"Hi,

please don't worry it ,Just to better confirm the payment, don't worry. Once the payment is confirmed, we will destroy it, and you can also give us your license


Best regards"



I still I don't understand where is the connection between the payment and passport or driving licence. Both documents are confidential.

They still didn't ask my shipping address!!! Cheesy - but they need my passport or driving licence...

How's that a 450$ discount??? We paid 1188.
Sorry, My Quote was 1050$ each and they are selling them now 1399% so atleast a 349$ discount I got from my first Batch and Second Batch Miners.

Sept 14, 2017 - I've ordered for 1st batch 8 units @ $1188USD. Bank wire sealed and sent.
Sept 15, 2017 - Got an email saying...
HI,

Thank you very much for your support and trust on Baikal.

I am sorry to inform you that due to your voucher submitting time, the first batch of Giant X10 are all booked up.

We will delivery your miner at the middle of November in our second batch.(second sale will coming soon)

Thank you for your kind understanding.

best regards.

Sept18, 2017 - They received my money (only $9154.09USD, still trying to figure out what went wrong with Baikal and UOB) but never confirmed until Oct 12,2017.
Oct 12, 2017 - Got this email...
HI,

friend, sorry for delay, We have received your payment, but the actual amount we received is 9154.09 usd
Our offer amount is 9504 usd,Can you check your banking system?

i think maybe your Canadian dollar was converted into Singapore currency and then converted into dollars, which cost extra.

And I just received notice of the company, the first batch has already paid a deposit but not in the first ship list , we have a small number miners of the end of November for you(Just for the clients who already paid the deposit), but the amount is 1399usd.

Could you tell me what you think?

Now they are asking me to pay $1399USD/unit and to some only $1050/unit? Just WOW...

Welkome to Baikal my friend!

Does it have a well running web-iface ?
I might be able to weget that site and grep some params out to have a minimal status-montoring with a shellscript that screams at me if sth goes tits up

I don't think it has a web interface.You can download for free the program and play with it for 1 miner to figure it out.
