BAIKAL GROUPBUY 6 - Giant Plus -2000MHS- CLOSED

[jchi2210]

So what do you think the best option will be out of the A5 or the D3?

I was considering buying an L3+ , is that a good or bad idea? Just curious on everyone's opinion. Is anything coming out that would make them not very profitable? sorry i'm still a little ignorant about this industry lol

Not sure about the L3+, that's a Litecoin miner, isn't it? D3 is the best deal. Bitmain tends to dominate the market, but the first round of September shipments are sold out. They are cheaper and a lot more hash per dollar but much higher power usage. The A5 ships in October maybe. It will cost a lot, like $10k but if they deliver on their promises it can be profitable. Much less power consumption as well. If they can overclock to 38k mh like they claim without too much power draw, they may be only slightly less good than buying four D3.

Yea its a Litecoin miner, I was considering buying it as well seeing as it seems to be popular in the Litecoin market. So do you think it is possible that if I pay attention to be able to get the next batch of D3's fairly cheap? What I mean is that the resellers are marking up their 1st batch of D3's because apparently they will be able to dominate the market for the first few weeks and make extra $$$. I saw the current D3's (preorder) are selling from 6-10k. But if I wait and catch Bitmain just right I can purchase my own for their advertised $2699 a piece. Any suggestions on the best course of action? I heard that if you purchase the D3 it is better to pay with LTC or BTC than it is with bank transfer. This is probably the wrong thread to be bringing all of this up lol

LTC is the fastest and they ship in the order they were paid. Email support and get on the email list. That's how I got mine.

[maxmad_x]

The best price they can do is 3200 USD.

That would give me about 3 months ROI from today with my electricity cost. And that is without taking all the new X11 miners into account.

Too high for me, as I said, $2000 yes, anything higher I pass.

same here. Anything above 2000 for a delivery later than a month from now is a suicide.

whats now end of July is coming
was there a group buy or not?

Baikal is going to alienate their customers. They do not understand the value of their customers making a profit. Potential payback of an ASIC machine is way different than a GPU which holds value after.

I am in contacts with them and lower my max price daily.

The other thing Bitmain has learned is they can not own the entire network and have to spread the hash.


I think Baikal is going to finally accept a decent price and immediately release a 5GH version and totally screw the people they just sold to. I do not trust Baikal at all.

Hi, what is the quote of GIANT+ today?

Cheers W_M

Buy it. Or don't.

There are always risks. By the time you have confirmed all your doubts it will be too late anyway.

I gave up mining bitcoin because I was only getting 1.6 coins a day.

It wasn't worth it.

Hard to compare the beginning of bitcoin to now though, bitcoin has matured, there are hundreds of altcoins around... Yeah, you might make a profit by mining a small altcoin that explodes in value, but chances for that are pretty slim...

Mary NIU.                                                                                Today at 08:10

At 23:59 hours of 31st of July2017, we are going to be deploying 100 new Antminer S9 and 100 Antminer L3+ to cushion any unforeseen market instability that comes with the impending Bitcoin fork. This measure is being put in place to protect our miners investment and also preserve the trust you all have placed on us.

The deployed 100 Antminer S9 and 100 Antminer L3+ miners will be removed from the network, decommissioned and auctioned off at a discount from 00:01 hours of the 4th of august 2017.

Cost:
Antminer S9 (including its PSU): 22 LTC
Antminer L3+ (including its PSU): 25 LTC

To take advantage of this opportunity; make payments to any of the following LTC addresses and post ur transaction ID here afterwards.

LLNtNuy61ZY1iNM2nAH7z8dSLm7ZQgFbrx
LX8csuon9mgL5PMXU8nNbxV2DmVbt1QoR4

For a speedy audit of auction winners, each address will only accept payments for 25 Miners.
Note: Auction starts immediately. This is a first pay, first served auction, your payment will be refunded if your funds come after the first 200 payments.

Shipping:
1. For an auction of 1 to 3 miners add 7 LTC to your payment.
2. For an auction of 4 to 10 miners add 14 LTC to your payment.
3. For an auction of 10 miners and above add 40 LTC to your payment.
(To host the miners on the cloud, please don't include the shipping cost in your payment)

Sounds legit.

Seeing those stupid NIU posts spamming a number of threads.

So I got an email from Baikal offering the Giant+ for sale for $4000.

This is pretty much the opposite of their usual MO where you have to chase them for any information on sales, so they seem to be a bit desperate to unload the miners.

Perhaps $2000 will happen after all  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[wolf_miner]

Hi, $4000 for GIANT+, do they think that we are all newbies ebay buyer   ?

[Merlig]

I got also an email from BAIKAL, but i asked only for a quotation for 1 and 3 pieces

1 for $4000
3 for $3700

So if you order more perhaps you will get a greater rebate.

[buggy166]

Even $2000 is wayy too much.

Hash rate right now for these is sub $700 / month

3 months to ROI ... except 2 problems

mid august (2ish weeks) - all Ibelinks are in customers hands & go online

start of October - batch 1 from Bitman goes online (ship mid-late september)

You'll be lucky to hash $300/month with these Baikals in 1.5 months.

At least they are constant with their pricing. I inquired with the same requirements a few weeks ago and got same response. But they did say bigger discount is available for 10+.

The creator of this thread said Baikal quoted him $3200 min price for a group buy. But that was a while ago, maybe it's lower now...

[maleemk]

Any updates on this groupbuy or its dead as expected.
