And about to get 4 x S9 Antminers 13TH/s?

is not more easy mining with nicehash ? You will get bitcoins and btc growing faster in this period. What do u think ?

I'm getting same results here. About USD $7 per day with my Cube 300 MH/s after the first two days running. My strategy to shorten the ROI time is to keep the mining earnings in Dash and to wait until the price bounces back to 0.1 BTC/DASH (or higher). Then selling Dash for Bitcoin. That way the ROI time can be shortened by a third or more. Just my two satoshi…

Actually all the new gear are linear, no new chipset, so I don't get why people are afraid of a new faster miner, as we can see the hash/price/watt never changed. Its not like with the L3+ which is in inverse proportion to the price. You could buy the same hr for the same price with the minis, just unpracticality issues could occur.

any "new" baikal seller is a scam. There have been several in the past week...

Which new baikal seller?

Did baikal get their issues sorted out or are people actually ordering from this new baikal seller?

I guess I will just pass on mining Dash and stick with Ether & ZCash since I already have those up and running near ROI.

I'll just purchase Dash outright and hope value increases with difficulty.

Sometimes I think they are not really the manufacturers... how a company that can create asic miners like that play the business that way? Their site doesn't even have ssl... wtf?! I have to beg for ANY answer on skype... so you say: "They have a very high demand..." Oh really? What were they waiting for then? Look at how bitmain works! I love the baikal miners... BUT the way they're doing it is just too weird. Does not make sense

They did ask for 2 screenshots but thats not very valid imo . . wish they had a quality reseller or something

I see a lot of BTC going to this address.  How are they determining who paid?  Are they still asking for screen shots with confirmations?

This was part of my thinking as well.  Of course there is no guarantee but the hope would be that the X11 coins are increasing in value helping to shorten the ROI.

While their business model is rough, the product (historically) as been rock solid, best miner I have ever used.

I'm personally holding off for now, too much weirdness for my liking.  That said, their operation has always been ... rough at best.  These issues don't seem too far off the mark going by my past dealings.  Once they get their act together I'll continue to do business with them.

I could not place an order .Out of stock


I need an asic miner chip
 
I do not know the chip code

To learn the chip code you need to disassemble the cube


Who wants to help

You guys are comfortable dealing with baikal when their whole system could currently be compromised?

Yea, I think I might try that with the Quad when I get it.
I know it works on the 150M cubes, but haven't had a chance to try with the 300M cubes yet.

slick ....good to know ..I think most of us suspected such. Thanks.

I only have a single cube, but I did break down my Giant miner into two 450 devices by adding a second OrangePi, removing the serial cable and connecting a single blade to each Pi.  I imagine that it will work the same way with the Quads--it doesn't make sense to make two different PCB boards when you can design a single board that can be using in both configurations.

I've also created a 300Mh device by combining two minis with a serial cable.  That's where I got the spare Pi to use with the Giant!

you could be correct...I could easily be dead wrong...but I see cubes...then I see quads...and again after may 15th say when this order
ships.....at $1010 each for a cube..you have the A900's or maybe a NEW unit at say A1200 or A1800 to compensate for the rising X11
difficulty (bitmain had L3's at 250mh as an example.then later a few months came out with L3+s at same price for 2x the hash)

thus it can get wierd..esp a the cube 300mh cheaper 'toy' end of this race


So we will see

(by the by a disclaimer..with $15 LTC prices and such ...I'm dandy equip depreciation wise for this year of 2017.thus may color my view
for a hobby miner getting a toy.and say it streaches out to 12-14 months to ROI at 75 watts...hell I'd do that. But for me it is about
that 25% equip depreciation I can take off my profits..thus 1 300mh cube for my own basement toy...sure ....hobby....but for the
data hall stuff or how I run this as a business....2 cubes at 2020 for both is 400 bucks more then the L3+'s I got with scrypt at $15
bucks...so...er....no from a bigger miner perspective...but again ..you want to home mine again ...what the hell get 1 or 2....
some of us may be coming at this from a different angle....with equip depreciation you can take vs profits made)

So again..if I sound harsh sometimes....it is because of the above.....is no where near as black and white for  home miner
trying to get an asic at this point in time to play with
