BAIKAL - WHAT IS GOING ON?

[SplinterZalinsk]

I love the baikal miners, but the way they're doing business is not professional at all... I hope baikal shows up here to clarify what's going on

[Searing]

seems plenty of people are suspicious of the behavior of baikal lately and we just want some answers.

What's to be suspicious about?  Even if they are mining (and in their position I would do the same in a NY minute) they are doing so with the gear they designed and built.  They don't owe us anything.  If they decide to sell machines in two weeks and DASH is still on a tear, don't expect to be paying 500 bucks a unit the second time around either.

This is a privately held company turning a profit--I'm not sure what people are yelling about.

well their email server dumping ....the fact nothing shows up on shopping cart on the site.....the fact that skype tells me to send info to email account .(in my case no reply)
..the point that it is 400 bucks more then stated on the site when the bill comes....

and most importantly NOTHING from baikal on the account here or on facebook they are having issues..I mean I get it ..but if all an't well
you'd think someone would reply on facebook or on the forums to say..'hey this is how we are doing it now due to www site not working for us'

nada..nothing..etc

more stuff then that ..but what has come to mind so far

OH also their site forever has not had https:// security on their user accounts...if they are as lax on their own internal setups they could be hacked

if nothing else they run the worst online store of any type I've ever seen

so yeah ..it is more then just a few things when you add up the other 7 fake skype baikals on skype and etc

but if any site were to get hacked in asic crypto world it would be theirs ...of that all of us have little doubt...it sucks that bad...(though to your point
all may be fine..just stuff is adding up...to point to the possiblity that all is not 'kosher' in baikals web store world.

we will see it is night in china now....so this coming day...some of this may get clarified....hopefully

if nothing else would like to know where people who have paid are paying $400 bucks more for a quad..that seems wierd by itself...from the listed price

I will lurk and watch for now....(no reply to my email anyway so easy to do)

Most useless thread on bitcointalk right here.

baikalminer.com is redirecting to the same place the email is coming from now (ecount erp).  Except it is going to a webmail login page.  Or maybe that has been the case for awhile?  I just noticed I forgot to put www on the front.  www.baikalminer.com still goes to the crappy website.

[TunerDude007]

I am talking with Baikal now via skype. They are asking for payment upfront for second week of May shipment.....Yes I agree odd as they never asked in the past for prepayment of orders.....like Bitmain style.  I will hold off and wait for stock.

I ordered a cube via their website. Contacted them via Skype with order number, they updated their site with price and the shopping cart displayed a BTC address to send to. Made payment, contacted again over Skype with TXID and confirmation screenshot. They then changed the order on the site from unpaid to 'Paid but not shipped'

I paid for a cube using BTC quantity based upon what they specified in my order on their website that includes shipping based on my address. It was pretty clearly documented what their policy is and it is not via USD and wire. We could only pay with BTC or Dash. This definitely sounds like a scam. After sending them the BTC I sent  a screen shot showing 2 confirmations and then they asked for additional confirmations via skype the next day which I provided in realtime. I also noticed that their email is currently non-functional and I am pretty certain their is no inventory available at the moment awaiting their next shipment.  We could also only purchase one or two in our order. Their website is the worst I have ever encountered in trying to order something and I was constantly in fear of something getting lost or not being able to logon again, which happened several times to me.
