"Nobody got the memo on the Giant-B"

The Giant B is Vapor Ware as of this writing as far as I know.... no units on the market as of this post nor any idea on when they will be ready.

https://www.baikalminer.com/product10.php

Pricing for some pre-sales at $20k for 80/GH ... I'll pass on this thanks.

Rumour has it SIA Group is communicating with Netflix and probably/hopefully others.....

Personally, I am into it for the long hall and bought 6 /SCI-1.

No risk.... no reward  :-)

Gotta play the game to win!

I have received 2 of the Giant-B today, I can confirm it's not a vaporware, first batch price was around $3,500. They're being setup at my mining location tomorrow.

Interesting if valid. Thanks for the update.

@80GH.... enjoy for a few months.... until we come online

@Searing

I hear you loud and clear.

Unicorn investments could be a good angle

Well, when BFL in 2013 never shipped, I was able to write it off my taxes like equip (loss) with the CPA in 2013..when by dumb

luck a week before SEC closed them down in 2014 I think it was? , I got a refund and had to report that as income

so if all goes tulips.....well..thus the logic of the 1st 5 units as an IF btc tanks hedge this last summer

(not...I mean NOT my wisest move...the above last summer get 5 obelisks hedge)

[Meech]

It's my opinion the SC1 would do far better to generate profit compared to the DCR1 given SIA hasn't jumped in price yet.  Lots of headroom to turn those coins into $1 per than Decreed going to $200 per.  Batch 2 sale ends on the 31st of January.

[REAL_MORPHEUS]

Obelisk is USA based and under US law.

If they don't deliver, they must refund and the entire SIA project would be auto-tanked and never recover.

All in or all out basically.

Just my thoughts....

Sure thanks.

Just a heads up.... you wont be able to post the pics and have a 360sec wait between posts on this forum until you hit 30 posts so I am told....

What a  silly little rule *sigh*

You're able to post the links to the images, but the images won't show until you get a Jr. Member (30 posts/activity). It's to lower the amount of spam & scam, works fine imho.
Either way, I'll post the links to the images tomorrow at least!

Just my thoughts....

Well, maybe but did you read their "Terms"?  Says you give up the right to a Class Action lawsuit if you enter the preorder.  
Always read up before you invest.

Legallity goes both ways in the U.S..

Fair enough but.... in business.... if you don't have credibility as a smallish company... you won't get  far and the coin would end up as coin dust.

No one would back it seriously. Ie. Netflix etc....

And I see that is the end game here not the coin value persay.

Just my thoughts....

this was not the case with BFL in 2015 I think it was..the corporation went bankrupt...the owners were protected..kept

all the BTC they mined with pre-order money for more than a year ( I say a year because no reinvest new product and

no shipping) and the max fine ONE of them got was 30k..... the rest of it went to the SEC to settle

they walked completely

nothing has changed in USA law to change this..they are protected by being a corporation and were NOT prosecuted with

BFL corp taking the fall


so hosed...

they were based out of Kansas I think

was talking about sia miners..but happy to look at your baikal pictures of unicorns

[REAL_MORPHEUS]

Found the Baikal unicorn!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2595145.0;all

After reading all of the posts, I am still to find one non-reseller or dealer with any actual units and Baikal is claiming sold out.

I find it interesting that the reseller cannot get any units except of course his personal units he is selling at $15k USD post-crash LMAO....

I stand my ground on Vapor Scam/Ware  for the Baikal units.

Buyers totally beware!

[Eyedol-X]

Well back on topic, I just picked up a 2nd SC1 as part of batch 2.

Can't wait to get the first one

[REAL_MORPHEUS]

Nice to see you joining our mining pool Eyedol-X  

I ran some calc's here and was very generous with SIA asic competition inclusion....

Community members have posted pic, search around. Also, Baikal has been around for a while and delivered before.

I did the math and calc/projection on Decred and couldn't justify it and opt'd to buy into SCI-1 more for the same price point.

Better potential ROI. Just my instinct.

Looking to reinvest into SIA-GEN-2 if all works out on this....

yeah that is my thoughts...IF siacoin makes it ..IT WILL NOT be due to the price and speculation of this coin..it will be due to the

ASIC network and their decentralized anon storage solutions at 10c to Amazon's $1.00 in pricing

with the amount of siacoin generated..that is the ONLY way such an ASIC network can pump out that many coin

for this whole idea to make sense

anyway my (likely clueless) interpetation of this

now do I man up and get some more machines with my coupon...or sit like I have today and watch the FUD and

crypto prices dump as I sit an pucker up tighter and tighter

fun retirement I started yesterday (yep thats what did it, me retireing due to crypto etc, I broke the works)

sorry about that

(what do they say about 'timing is everything' ..If I'd done this LAST WEEK as least I could have 'gloated' for a week)

Why would having asic miners have anything to do with the coin's value and longevity?  the same amount of coins will be generated in the same increments, its just that difficulty will shoot up and a few hundred people that own these miners will own the network.
