Title: Baikal showing weak hands, congratz to our community!
Post by: murgorx on April 09, 2018, 02:15:35 PM
Hello guys!
Dunno why, but I entered the page of the Baikal ASIC miners and saw the following advertisement :D

We have won against at least these mfs! Buy 1 and get 5 free? Talking about ASIC miners, which are normally really expensive? What's the deal exactly with this :D
I want to thank the XMR devs for standing on their ground and declaring a war on ASIC miners, hope devs from other mineable projects also show some disrespect towards the ASICS.

asics could be I guess be OKish if there were only small numbers of them for free market, but I know this is not gonna to happen ever
and all these manufacturers just killing the models they produce, and the more Asics they sell, the faster they kill it, cause the diff is going high fast, roi is going down even faster...

asics is not the answer for decentralized network.

At first i thought it was a prank post/joke. But then i visited the baikal website and can verify this is really happening.
Congratulations to the community. Wonder if that ASIC could still be repurposed to mine shitcoins like Electroneum tho..

Sorry, not buying these, need something that produces at least 1000w of heat.

This really shows how cheap those materials used to build that shit.
They're selling it high last week because of the fake supply shortage they (Bitmain and Baikal) made.

Great move to Monero, the change in POW will guarantee that those botnets and compromised rigs sneaked with cryptonight miners will still be profitable.
Buy hey, this garbage is still worth it for mining shitcoins with shit developers, who are taking Crytonite ASICS too lightly.
Like E...ehm..Ele..ctr...oneum.

At this price it's a good deal. You can mine ETN $83/day so it's a one month ROI. ETN will fork only this summer. And later will be XMC and XMO that will stay ASICs friendly

Correct me if im wrong but it looks like they want you to buy 2 units of 5 to get the 5 for 1 deal.
Means its 3800 min for 10 units if im right.

Thank you for your contacting.

 

Giant-N:  (buy 1 units ship 5 units ). 

  -Price: 1900usd each (shipping charge not included)

Hahahah! This makes me so god damn happy! I hate everything ASICs stand for, even tho Baikal is a pretty good compared to shitmain. But even the good guys can be devils. Love what monero did to these ASICs. Just makes me smile randomly.  ;D

These are essentially etn miners, till they fork with v7, if and when , leaving them monero classic or whateva only miners eventually . Hashrate bloodbath due in a month with x2 & x3.

Yeah, check out the Baikal and BITMAIN sites. I'm sure if you wait a bit longer until all coins change their algos, you will be receiving them for free and will be paying only for the delivery :D

So with 5 machines I'm clearing $150 a day on SUMO...What's the catch? Seems like a good deal but I'm skeptical that can last....

You also have to take into account that difficulty would most likely skyrocket exponentially when the multitude of others connect their 5 machines; therefore, that $150 wouldn't be for long at all nor sustainable.

You can't mine SUMO with an ASIC anymore so you would make $0.00 a day on SUMO... that is THE CATCH!

I think XMC and XMO will not survive in the long term. They are just there to help sell ASIC.

If Baikal and Bitmain start taking payments for their ASICs in XMC or XMO that would probably prolong their existance for a while at least.

After those Sh*tcoins pump, those machines will be useful heater or a doorstopper

better buy big coins at equivalent asics price, you might get better returns
