I got a quote from them for a cube. fuckers wanted .7813 btc for a cube they said $799 plus $37 that should be about .65 btc they are asking $1010 US
How did you get a quote for a cube? Their website still says there is no inventory for the cube.

yeah with the expected difficulty rise i see in X11 stuff because of them..that is not gonna happen....852 with shipping to usa for a cube that now will likely take close to a year to ROI...I may just wait for this difficulty wave to pass and/or bigger units like the A900 this lemming at that price is gonna split off and just keep his 1 300mh mini as a toy ...sometime in the future at a lower price new or used .if all I'm using for is fun anyway so they may have shot themselves in the foot ...I was gonna split 4 with a buddy now we likely won't get any due to this and the general cluster that is baikals universe sheesh

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!:)

We asked about bank transfer because that BTC price is a scam in itself. As you said at $850 I want ROI in half a year not in 1 year of I'm lucky you know? Another user posted email screenshots pointing to this being a Russian scam so idk. . .

Just wondering out loud... With the old 150M cubes, you could build-up multiple cubes using the cables and make a 2, 3, 4 or more rig under a single PI. Likewise, you could take a quad, and run it with 3, 2 or 1 cubes. I wonder if we can do the same with the Quad 300M. For example, split it in half and just add your own PI with a duplicate image. That might be a way to get "singles" but still benefit from the pricepoint on the Quad over the Single.

And I think dash will rise the price as well. you could be correct...I could easily be dead wrong...but I see cubes...then I see quads...and again after may 15th say when this order ships.....at $1010 each for a cube..you have the A900's or maybe a NEW unit at say A1200 or A1800 to compensate for the rising X11 difficulty (bitmain had L3's at 250mh as an example.then later a few months came out with L3+s at same price for 2x the hash) thus it can get wierd..esp a the cube 300mh cheaper 'toy' end of this race So we will see ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) (by the by a disclaimer..with $15 LTC prices and such ...I'm dandy equip depreciation wise for this year of 2017.thus may color my view for a hobby miner getting a toy.and say it streaches out to 12-14 months to ROI at 75 watts...hell I'd do that. But for me it is about that 25% equip depreciation I can take off my profits..thus 1 300mh cube for my own basement toy...sure ....hobby....but for the data hall stuff or how I run this as a business....2 cubes at 2020 for both is 400 bucks more then the L3+'s I got with scrypt at $15 bucks...so...er....no from a bigger miner perspective...but again ..you want to home mine again ...what the hell get 1 or 2.... some of us may be coming at this from a different angle....with equip depreciation you can take vs profits made) ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) So again..if I sound harsh sometimes....it is because of the above.....is no where near as black and white for home miner trying to get an asic at this point in time to play with ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I only have a single cube, but I did break down my Giant miner into two 450 devices by adding a second OrangePi, removing the serial cable and connecting a single blade to each Pi. I imagine that it will work the same way with the Quads--it doesn't make sense to make two different PCB boards when you can design a single board that can be using in both configurations. I've also created a 300Mh device by combining two minis with a serial cable. That's where I got the spare Pi to use with the Giant! TrX

Yea, I think I might try that with the Quad when I get it. I know it works on the 150M cubes, but haven't had a chance to try with the 300M cubes yet.

I'm personally holding off for now, too much weirdness for my liking. That said, their operation has always been ... rough at best. These issues don't seem too far off the mark going by my past dealings. Once they get their act together I'll continue to do business with them. TrX

While their business model is rough, the product (historically) as been rock solid, best miner I have ever used.

Of course there is no guarantee but the hope would be that the X11 coins are increasing in value helping to shorten the ROI.

They did the same to me and my buddy. . Also they sent us the same BTC address 13pMF7f4XjvPg2qS3McGfUAov1k1bTZZb2 I see a lot of BTC going to this address. How are they determining who paid? Are they still asking for screen shots with confirmations?

Sometimes I think they are not really the manufacturers... how a company that can create asic miners like that play the business that way? Their site doesn't even have ssl... wtf?! I have to beg for ANY answer on skype... so you say: "They have a very high demand..." Oh really? What were they waiting for then? Look at how bitmain works! I love the baikal miners... BUT the way they're doing it is just too weird. Does not make sense

I guess I will just pass on mining Dash and stick with Ether & ZCash since I already have those up and running near ROI.
I'll just purchase Dash outright and hope value increases with difficulty.
