Can people buy the cube now? Are they shipping? Or should we wait for a group buy?

Yes, you should wait 3 weeks for the group buy. Spread the word. |

Yes, you should wait 3 weeks for the group buy. Spread the word. What are you talking about? I'm referring to bittawm |

Yes, you should wait 3 weeks for the group buy. Spread the word. What are you talking about? I'm referring to bittawm It's not known at this point if a group buy will happen again. There is far more demand for these machines now so if you want one it would be best to order whatever quantity they allow direct from baikal. I personally am waiting to see if an ugraded GIANT comes out. |

Um...he was a dick when he charged my associate 5k ea for 3 giants. Literally at the same time as hosting a group buy for discount giants... I understand a slight markup, but that's just taking advantage of people. Screw him. Informing the public is being a dick eh? |

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. I think you are the one not paying attention. There is a new group buy being organized under this thread. If you check previous posts you will see that it is currently being organized, and refers to the new 300MHs miner, not the old product. |

You mind pointing out what benefits a group buy to an effectively sold out product would be?
Raising awareness is not the same as hosting a group buy...neither is chasing bandwagon wheel ruts.
Group buys imply that one individual purchases multiple miners, acts as intermediary/escrow and ships the miners out to the interested parties. It also implies a discount...on shipping if nothing else.
I see none of those things happening here.
If such a thing is indeed going on then please point me to the host...otherwise I'll have to presume(I know right?) that you're imagining things.

The previous group buy enabled individuals to pay the vendor directly and receive the product from the vendor directly, without having to go through any middle man. The previous group buy benefited me specifically by obtaining an approx 10% discount, which effectively covered the shipping costs to my house. Since the "new" group buy is being managed under this thread and the details have not yet been announced, I cannot say that the same benefits will be in effect. However, since the "new" group buy is for an active/live product being currently shipped, im interested in hearing what the specific details are if/when they are announced. Unless I hear otherwise from the individual working on the group by arrangements, I don't see any reason to doubt that something is being worked on at this time. |

Okay man, move along. You don't want to be here and you're not contributing to this conversation. I'm sorry your buddy didn't do his homework before he bought his giants, but I assume he's a grown-ass man that can make his own decisions. |

Right, my bad for trying to protect people from being taken advantage of. Or from being mis-informed. You are clearly all for that kind of shitty behavior. Problem? You've pretty much guaranteed my continued involvement in this now pointless thread by implying my lack of interest. Also...go google the definition of "conversation". |

Anyone pay yet. They say on my invoice 15 plus dash. Miner was 800 said free shipping. If that stands
at 950 usd at that dash figure. I'm out if that is the case.

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

It looks like it's the same as a GPU, yes. Most of all PSUs should have what you need, or you can find a server grade PSU and an adapter board that pipes out 6-pin. Server supply is usually cheaper, but it's often too loud for 'indoor' use. |
