Advantage of GPU over the Baikal ASIC is that if diff goes nuts in Dash (which is likely) or price falls (which is also likely) a GPU can mine about 100 other coins that Baikal cannot.
well a baikal can mine 6 algo not only one, so you have some other option in case x11 tank, it's also true that if dash tank other coins can not sustain its hash |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

But none of them as profitable, and while I am a fan of Baikal/Dash I would still argue that GPU most likely have better resale value and wider application area. Not saying Baikal is a bad value, just pointing out limitations. |

When buying GPUs, why buy a used GPU over a new GPU? The price may be lower but do used GPUs keep their warranty? I thought the warranty only applied to the original buyer

I can only imagine that mining would somehow break the warranty, but who knows. |

Baikal miner is currently based 40nm architecture. More than likely with all the money they are getting, they will put it into R &D and release 20 nm or even 14 nm machine soon. Once that happens, all of the existing Baikal machines will be less valuable. As for the GPUs, they will need to find some other coin to make it worthwhile. Does anyone know the mining power of one Sapphiretech Rx 470 Nitro model for Dash/x11 algo ?

I bought in January 1 mini miner and in February 3 more mini miners and joined them together to quad. I am very satisfied with them so I am thinking of buying more. If you want to buy then go ONLY on http://www.baikalminer.com/all other sites are scammers and thieves. Price is 300$ for mini, 1200$ for quad and 2380$ for giant. Both times I got discount too  It is too bad that I have to do their job. They should be advertising on forums by themselves... PS: Payment DASH and BTC only |

I contacted them and they dont have them. They even dont know when will they be available. One would say that chinese could make thousands of miners over weekend but looks like it isn't so... |
