Baikal Giant X10

[burnsauce]

do people still buy miners after such huge btc drop...

I doubt at the prices they were trying to sell them at, but then again this is why _smart_ folks would never have bought them at that amount even before the recent market pullback.  There was no reason to think that those values would continue for long.  There was an unrealistic price run-up at the end of 2017. This is the correction.

For my money... I've already payed off my x10, so making $30 a day is pretty great. I'd be very upset if I had paid more then about $2500 for it though.

As it is now, $7000 per miner is about 4 times too expensive IMHO to make sense unless you plan on being able to mine with it at the same return (~$30) for more than 8 months. 

If you aren't into alt-coin speculation, and you think things are going to recover in less than 8 months, you'd probably do better (or as good) if you put that $7,000 in Bitcoin instead.

Hi all. Has anyone got a x10 CE certificate copy? Customs has stopped it and said that it will not be released and will be destroyed if I wont provide CE certificate.

My Baikal Giant-B is stuck at German customs authority ... and I fear that they will have to send it back to China as the devices miss the CE confirmity declarations.
Did you get your Baikal miner shipped to your place?   Did you get any help from Baikal?

i got my giant x10 without problems

you have to call them and ask what they need.

they need basically:
1. import instruction
2. a proof how much you paid for the miner (baikal put a invoice around 300$)

I don‘t think these miners have a CE certificate. I was lucky: Mine got shipped via DHL Express right to my door (Germany).
Have you asked Baikal about a CE certificate? Without one it‘ll be pretty difficult. I‘m not sure if they are even allowed to let it pass without one.

On arrival, customs immediately opened the package for further review.
Land Niedersachen officials came today to check the device in more depth and rejected the import to Germany due to missing CE marks etc. (Didn't see the check-report which they will provide to DHL).
German customs told me that they won't accept any CE certificates for that device via e-mail etc. anymore as the device itself is missing the labels  .

ich hatte auch probleme..aber mit 4 antminer D3., einfuhr verweigert, trotz zusendung der zertifikate von bitmain..vergesst DHL..in zukunft nur noch per UPS importieren. da gibts keine probleme

You should have them check the boards. The boards/ components themselves have the CE marking.

Really?  That's strange as German customs told me that they will check the device - especially the connections and components, etc.
Unfortunately, I didn't receive the final report of the rejected import to see what was the real issue - but it should arrive soon via mail.

Do you know if there are pictures on the www available?

Baikal themselves/himself were/are not really helpful when asking them for CE certificate for 3 ongoing days via Skype 
But customs anyway told me that they would reject such a (faked) CE certificate.

German customs is simply being difficult, as it is probably an "unknown" device to them.
Baikal confirmed they have CE certification, as can be expected considering the CE markings on the components.
Images can be found on www, prefer not to post link here as it refers to a "scam" site. (tried to pm you a link, but it says you cannot accept pm's from newbies)

It does not help, if the components has CE-labels. If you build a device only from parts with CE-Label, the new build up device, needs to have its own CE-Label anyway. This means testing, declaraiton of conformity, technical documentation, and so on.

[bengaltiger]

we have to wait.
there is nothing on baikals twiter page

[Overlast]

Asked Baikal when/if the new algo's will come or if it is a marketing trick.

Even got 2 emails back:

"Hi
The new algorithm is still in debugging stage."

and

"Hi,

Our engineers are adjusting the new algorithm. Please be patient

best regards
baikal "


So, the waiting continues......

If they would take 50% off that price, it would be maybe interesting.

agree, miner should no cost more than 2.5 k usd. Because you also have to add to this price - shipping, psu, taxes.
