I would also like to buy 1 or 2 Baikal miners for the fair price $440-450. Resellers here in Russia offers it for $1000. That's not my price. I just don't want to let them make such profit at my expense.
Thats why we have to promote miners to serious hardware manufacturers. All of the current corporations are startups and their business model is a fraud.
We need miners @ 250$/unit at current characteristics in order for the market to thrive.
And units shoulf be scalable. They should create miners similar to blade servers - an enclosure (fully equipped with PSU and plannar (with own firmware) and compute nodes (blades).
