It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

I tried to order today after receiving an email saying they are now available, but their site is very flakey as mentioned above. When I tried to order the site quoted me a price in Dash which was (at current price) about $1150 for one mini miner. So I emailed then and asked what the "real" price in dash is, given that they have made them $799 which should be around 12.5 Dash. I have ordered one before and paid in Dash with no problems Around two hours later I got an email saying: Can you pay the bitcoin? ...so a company making X11 miners (which mine Dash obviously) is now demanding payment in bitcoin. It's making me totally nervous. I don't really think I'm willing to risk $799 on something that was $300 only a couple of months ago. I do understand that the demand is much, much higher now but still -if this is a company with enough technical know-how to create possibly the best performing X11 miner available in terms of hash per watt - why can't they get their shit together enough to build a working website and provide a confidence inspiring store interface?

Crypto currency enthusiast and miner since 2015. Mined approx 200 ETH during 2016 and 2017 and sold it at approximately $US40 each. Then I watched it reach $1000+ each. If anyone bothers to read this stuff pay attention to this: HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL
I started mining with 1 AMD 7950 and 1 R9-280X. Then I gradually built my AMD operation into 12 R9-290s. Awesome ETH hash but ridiculous power consumption and heat. Over the last year I defected to the Nvidia team. I now use GTX 1070s. They were expensive to buy (probably a bargain now) but awesome hash rate vs. power consumption. blah blah blah blah

AFAIK it's not the same model. This one is hashing with DOUBLE hashrate than previous Mini model. So, the price is little bit more than double, but market demand is huge so it will go for sure with new price level.

I just looked at the picture and saw a mini-miner. And I sent them a rude email about why the hell can't they accept dash as payment and why is their shop interface so terrible... so they probably won't sell me one now anyway. Oh well.

Their site is totally flakey. I've been forced to create multiple accounts (2 in the last couple of days alone) in order to be greeted with an out of stock message.
Between the completely unprofessional site and with the uncertain future of x11 mining viability, I'm resisting the siren song and focusing elsewhere.
To everyone else, good luck...
Just jump in and get one if you want.... You don't have to pay right away..I will see what the heck is the price they want...if I don't like it won't pay but you can get in the que (me I'm kinda thinking like you I should maybe get out....but will watch and ponder..problem with this stuff with 35 day warranty and the site sucks so bad ..makes you wonder what the equip is like) anyway ..in your boat but lurking ( BUT on the list waiting for payment details) wtf I have no life .....something to do

Just completed the order with 0.719 BTC (including shipping) let see what's in the baikal's bag for future. One thing I noticed though, not very many confirmed Bitcoin Payments to the address, Max. 10 including me.

They have my account mixed up with someone else in Japan. When I tried to order it was using this other persons personal information, so I didn't complete the order.

Wow, that's about $70 for shipping 67 USD to be precise. However In the Blockchain explorer, I am the lowest one on the shipping cost. I have seen some in 0.8something BTC.

When I login all I got was the Japan persons personal info. Now I cannot login at all, requires personal question which I don't recall setting up, and I tried to re-register but it sais my email is already used. So, pretty screwed at this time.

With BTC at $1200 (BTC-e approx $1199, Coinbase approx $1216, Bitfinex approx $1224) the miner should cost 0.65 BTC, yet I have been hearing of prices upwards of 0.8 BTC mentioned. Is the difference all shipping or are they using some other BTC price point???
Any word on what the group-buy pricing/discount is? Last time, it was 10%, or enough to cover shipping costs.

Do you even pay attention? This group buy was for a miner that has already shipped and is no longer in stock... There's no group buy and no discount for the cube. This thread should be locked.
