300 isnt too bad least u didnt get it at 400 +. Just look at ltc after segwit hype id wait to get it cheaper.

Its the perfect excuse , their servers are crazy busy , they prob cant upgrade them cause theyd lose to much profit from possible downtime. Its like anything online , just trade less popular coins and think ahead cause busy coins have the worse lag.

Manipulated indeed First bitmain make litecoin miners and noone buys them, then segwit hype takes hold, litecoin rises , then litecoin becomes very profitable, bitmain sellout their ltc miners and ltc increases, then segwit activation drags out, will it wont it ? Price still speculate s on approval keeping it up but volatile gaining more interest from traders as it drags on, bitmain wont vote for segwit , price teeters , why wont they vote yes ? Cause bitmain are a btc miner maker mainly and segwit isnt compatible with btc if their miners are using asicboost, a advantage only they have unlocked in their farms to get 30% more efficency from their own farm miners, noone else, whats that got to do with litecoin? Well if litecoin gets segwit the next logical step is btc gets segwit too cause afterall btc is gold compared to litecoin as silver, so segwit is not what bitmain wants for btc cause their power cost would rise 30%.Eventually bitmain give in and vote for segwit ( prob cause they dont want ltc to crash cause their making too much on their now sold out ltc miners) . And to top it off they prob "invent" a firmware issue on their ltc miners to drag out how long they can milk the ltc price by mining on  the very machines that the public have already bought and are still awaiting delivery!
LTC sold on the news, the news was segwit activation. Its what they do with segwit that matters. The bottom has been found a few hours ago ,  hopefully, looks like ltc rebound in the making now.. Just remember prices climb stairs and drop in elevators.

This selldown is classic "sell on the news" litecoin finally got segwit, price dropped, xrp finally got lock up details so drops, xrp pumped on polo cause it was 42cents elsewhere where they love it more, now news is out on how much xrp will be locked up so people taking profits.. xrp has a great future its just a little pumped at 42 cents lol

That is irratating but btc has risen too and will prob rise to 2100 if usa stops hacking the world and blaming it on russia or korea on a conspiracy to lower bitcoin confidence..

The equivalent hash rate would cost over 30k in chinese btc prices for the current top performing machine ( which u cant buy at moment or prob in bulk in future). although competitors could bring out more powerful machines theyd have to redesign and/or lower their prices substantially to compete. They wont do either until these prob hit the market and prob much later ( if they can afford to lower their prices in the first place or redesign a new larger product at all ) . As far as this machines hash rate it is still only a prototype,  which means its still in early development , im sure any issues with consistant performance will be solved as they have plenty of time to rectify any possible stability  issues meaning the final product should be ready. ( plus who has consistantly accurate and similar hashrates between their pool and their miners webpage interface ) Another aspect to consider is how much power this uses , 760 ish watts compared to  2700w and even more for the pinideas ( if they ever decide to compete again) on every hour of operation,  ( that will matter come halving in far future) ,that adds up..

Only x11

If you want to be paid in btc then nicehash is good, payment in dash then go suprnova.cc

could u tell me how many chips are in the baikal cube, it should be in the net interface

Your best bet is to hold your dash u mined, when dash evolution comes out later this year and ibelink s difficulty increase hopefully the price of dash will climb, and youd profit from that , reducing your ROI, i assume u paid 1100$ for each of your cubes?

Bitmain is a prime example, a chinese company thats building miners like toasters and is selling them, but why not mine it all for themselves? Because its more lucrative to do both. God help us if they produce a x11 miner. They prob wont because dash hasnt got the trading volume of something like btc. If ibelink mine on even 1/4 of what their first batch will apparently do then thats a lot of dash coins a day sold on market  to make instant cash, dash trading volume isnt high enough to probably absorb such selling, without probably decreasing the price, and even if they hold the mined coin theres no guarantee theyd be able to sell it in the future for as much or more. Dash is still a late bloomer and its price is still prone to volatility. No Company wants to fully crash the market they're in business with. By only selling the dm11g to major players at least they know that those people are more likely sophisticated investors who wont sell in a panic or in a way that will ruin the price, unlike say like a amateur home trader/miner would do. Thats why its going to be so difficult for any average person to get their hands on this equipment, because in the wrong hands it could destroy the marketplace in enough numbers, and the resellers that do sell it are only going to sell the machine with a huge markup because its the best thing going and blows away the competition. Anyone taking the risk of pre ordering this machine is doing so at a huge discount on what resellers will charge, and even once ibelink sell them to everyday consumers they will pay more for it and cop the difficulty increases that will follow (mainly from further batches and new megaminers the competition might dish out later). Every week will be crucial in ROI and only the first batch owners will make a killing, and even if they dont, they could sell the miner for a premium to the customers waiting to buy the 2nd batch, which could be another few months, if that even gets sold to the general public.

I agree they need investors to try to get manufacturing funding and went as high as they can with the hashrate, to try to prevent competitors from developing a product in the time they hope to get manufacturing right. They havent produced a product in so long, and their previous product is so obsolete. Who wants to pay for anything new off a company thats so out of date, and slow to react to the markets demand? Even if they brought out like a 2.4ghs machine, it wouldnt be enough because theyd have to either use they existing expensive chassis or redesign a new compact miner (Like a Giant) which isnt easy for them as they have never used this design before. How much space a miner takes isnt just important for for shipping and stock control but farms would prefer miners that are smaller too due to their space limitations. They have to try and fit the power of 8-12 giants in the same space of one ibelink chassis to make it worthwhile for everyone involved. For a company that hasnt really made any money since the 384 they will need funding to build these new boards. They could build one after the other and mine as they build but this takes too long and the returns will be diminishing as the hashrate climbs not just on their miners but baikals miners coming out, especially within the next few weeks. By the time they produce 3000 machines this way without pre orders the network hash rate will be a triple and their product will have to be sold cheaper and by then the competition will have their new miners to compete with the dm11g.

That would mean theres 5376 chips in a chassis, quite a feat, and to build those boards would cost more then 6750. They ve said ever since they released the 384 unit that they have been working on a new chip. The new chip must be getting about 168mhs a chip, while the previous only 2mhz. Original baikals minis were 37mhs a chip, pinideas chips were less efficient then baikals, so common sense would say manufacturers are only going to use more efficient and powerful chips for future models. The fact that ibelink havent produced anything to compete with baikal and pinidea lately would probably mean they wont release anything until they know they can blow away the competition. The technology is out there for better asic chips for x11, noone has bothered using them less maybe because of cost and the disruption it would cause to network hashrate. Imagine what a 16nm x11 asic chip would do.  
 "We have already started the iBeLink™ next generation X11 ASIC chip development. This ASIC will be a fully customized deep sub-micron chip. The efficiency of the chip will be superior to any competitor’s offerings. This advanced ASIC chip (silicon) will be available this year."

Asicminer.com doesnt look right, id avoid that

I ordered a power adapter from https://asicminermarket.com/ and it never arrived , it was a very cheap order and prob cost em more to ship then the actual price, still no excuse to ignore my 4 attempt s of contact and thank god I paid with paypal got full refund  but still a few months of wasting my time just went to amazon instead eastshore.xyz are good and theyre prices are reasonable asicminermarket.com prices are a rip

meat is very expensive now compared to 20 years ago where im from, beef mince 4$ a kilo, now 12$ a kilo for similar quality.

Because manufacturing something new costs money, they need pre order money to build the stock.

I noticed that too..
