If I don't get the chance to buy one in the next batch I swear to God I will go to China and hit them in their heads with their Quads......
LOL. You could always buy them at a 200% markup on aliexpress  Whats funny is that even when buying them at twice their retail value, they pull in about the same ROI as Bitmain Antminers, haha For that 100% more on aliexpress I rather buy a plane ticket to China and do the hitting plan.Or maybe you are right, I should buy 1-2 Antminers and then go to China and hit the guys from baikal with the Antminers in the head because they are much more heavy than Quads.Good plan.... At least more fun for me. |

could u tell me how many chips are in the baikal cube, it should be in the net interface
Nine chips. do you know which chips they are? ... im curious as to what fpga / asic chips they use ... any one pulled a miner apart to see? ... only reason im asking is because of the cooling system - and the heat watt dissipation ... knowing the make and model of the chips can give us all the specs we need ... working on a better cooling system - and require all this info we cant seem to find anywhere ... not even in the reviews ... #crysx If they are asics, then you won't find a make and model. they are custom made. But if they are by chance FPGA then there will be something out there. We don't know anything about them and no one has dissected one yet. My first theory is that they are fpga. My second theory is that they are asics that some hardware student designed in grad school in china and was able to get them on a tape out of a research wafer. When i was in grad school for hardware/circuit design, we were allowed to piggy back on unused wafer space for IBM and TSMC. It was something that was free for universities. for research only. I believe the only way they could come back after release and add additional algos is if they are FPGAs. I'm no EE, but that's the only thing that makes sense. I was able to take my original X11 only mini and upgrade it to the additional algos they all now ship with. FPGA. |

Hello guys, I wrote them a mail to ask when the next batch is coming. Here's their reply: Hi,
Thank you for your email.
Regards the new stock, please check our website for your information, we will make our announcement there.
Best regards,
Baikal I guess there are only two chances, either way you wait for the next batch and checkout their website everyday or you buy a miner over eBay for the triple of the original price. Greetings, Lumining |

They will tell you: out of stock, no idea when the new batch will be available  That's the standard. |

That is exactly what they said. I asked them if they would be emailing me when they *are* in stock, they said this: Hi,
We will put you in the email list if your order quantity is more than 5 units of cube quad.
Best regards,
Baikal |

Baikal I thought they were all about one cube to one person awhile ago? Has anyone heard more on them having miners in stock? |

Baikal Pay very close attention to whom you are talking. That doesn't sound like Baikal. |

Has anyone ever had problems like that to receive any miner (Bitmain, Baikal, etc...) from China to United States? |
