Hello,

I'm new to the world of mining and I'd like to start buying some equipement to mine Dash coins. Some friends recommended me to buy the Baikal miner, but looks like they dont have stock at the moment. Which other options can I buy to mine dash ? I appreciate the assistance.

Thanks.

It's true that Dash is only able to be mined via ASICs and among those, Baikal seems to have the best product line. I have owned 1 of their Minis (this is actually an FPGA, not true ASIC, as it can mine multiple algos) for about 4-5 weeks and it's awesome! Super easy to set up and has run 100% up time since plugging it in (wish i could say the same for my 4 GPU-based mining rigs lol).

Unfortunately, you came in at really bad time because the explosion of Dash price recently has caused a world-wide shortage of X11 ASIC/FPGA.  If you can find them at all (from any brand) they have been listed at 2-4x their original price.  Even if Dash goes back to $100, that huge markup makes the ROI period way to long, so my advice is to keep watching Baikal's stock and try to get in when they release their next batch.

Damn, I'm always late, lol. Are there any other good altcoins good for mining you recommend ? The budget would be around $2000.
