Yeah, the profitability of the CUBEs is already very low if you don't have free electricity. Very likely the GIANT+ will never ROI.
I guess you can always start mining some smaller coins and hope they blow up if you feel like gambling...
Yeah, the catch is it takes 3 giant+'s at 2K each = 6,000 usd to mine 1/2 of what they are charging for the Ibelink 10gh version. (Sold out)
On the other hand, you pay almost 2x as much on the above Baikal 2000 to get the equivalent hash rate for 6,000 usd. So that deal sucks.
This may not really matter if you are outside of China, it seems on ordering any of these products.......
On the other hand, having tried to get Baikal miners and at least tried the same on Ibelink....it is impossible if you are in the USA
(using 100mh Univ bandwidth) to get either it seems.....completely and utterly locked out of the ibelink site due to load....so no joy.
So hell, unless I find someone running a data hall in China on bitcointalk here...ain't gonna get any more X11 miners, no matter what it seems.
Not at least at the current methods that they push units out. NO JOY for such in the USA it seems...likey same for Europe as well.
I also can see the Baikal units going to x13 and x15...when Ibelink slams them on x11 difficulty pump, .however I was told it was a fairly easy firmware fix..so I would guess Ibelink units in a month or so will be able to do x13 and x15 protocols as well..thus with difficulty rise on x11 .and then x13 and x15....my Baikal (it did roi) 300mh cube shall be 'paperweight'. A cute paperweight ......but a paperweight none the less
If you can never get the product due circumstances out of your control (bandwidth and wrong time zone as an example) ..no use crying
over 'spilled asic machines' ....just gonna have to move on
