These prices are insane.  I guess they better get them while they can.  iBelink 11g clearly has them both out classed, now to just see what the price tag comes in at for the iBelink.  Right now they all appear to be way over my budget.

Bitcoin FTW!
The latter from Baikal will probably never be sold to the public here in the West or anywhere outside of China. Most likely Baikal selling to farm operators in China and/or mining for themselves with the X11 ASICs. PinIdea seems priced well as the ROI is around 110 days (I have electrical costs of ~$0.06/kWh). Still a little too expensive even for me though.

So PinIdea has a new device.  The DRx at supposedly 1200 Mh/s with 4 boards.  There are several listed on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20170704091749&SearchText=pinidea+drx

It seems to be real based on this github post for the software: https://github.com/stellawxo/X11-Miner/releases/tag/DRX.170414

That is the same person who posted the releases for previous PinIdea miners.

Then Baikal apparently has a new "supergiant" at 2000 Mh/s.  There was already a thread on it that I missed so I'll just post the link to that instead of rehashing it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/baikal-asic-mine-2000mhs-1989029

Both PinIdea and Baikal have websites and yet neither of them have listed these latest devices for sale on their websites.
