Baikal Giant X10

[Tai_Pan]

Anyone have a lead on what the future algorithms might be?

Baikal Giant X10 Algorithms: X11 / Quark / Qubit (for now)
Baikal miner Giant+ Algorithms：X11 / X13 / X14 / X15 / Quark / Qubit

So "soon later 4 new algorithms can be added by updating" - i bet three of the four would be X13 / X14 / X15, and the last one... I hope it would be Blake (2b) - since ASIC is already in development by the Sia dev team

I was looking at the Blake algorithm too and there's apparently several versions. Nicehash supports Blake256r8, Blake256r14, Blake256r8VNL, and Blake2s (could this be the 4 algorithms?).

Does anyone know how similar or different those versions of the Blake algorithm are? Link to explainer on Blake would be appreciated.

Dammit!! ROI vanishing.....

This is the real meaning :

Hi! Dear customer:

Today we checked the profitability of our miners and as we can see, Qubit is very profitable and we decided to keep your machines working, we will send it to you if the profitability goes down.

X13/X14/X15 algorithms will not be in new X10 miner.
There will be new 4 algorithms in new X10 miner.

I got this in my email from Baikal...

"HI,


friend, sorry for delay, We have received your payment, but the actual amount we received is 9154.09 usd
Our offer amount is 9504 usd,Can you check your banking system?

i think maybe your Canadian dollar was converted into Singapore currency and then converted into dollars, which cost extra.

And I just received notice of the company, the first batch has already paid a deposit but not in the first ship list , we have a small number miners of the end of November for you(Just for the clients who already paid the deposit), but the amount is 1399usd.

Could you tell me what you think?


Best regards
Baikal"

1st - Their bank got the amount wrong, using CAD and converting into SGD, making the amount that I've sent which was $9504USD into $9154.09USD.
2nd - I was told that I will be in the 2nd batch but now that 1st batch is delayed to end of November, they are offering $1399USD/unit to be on 1st batch.

WOW.... what kind of company are these people running?

[mano237]

Got the same message, let's see if we get our miners in november.

This sucks. I was getting all excited. Ordering power supplies and even lining up an electrician to install a dedicated mining circuit in my basement. I still expect ROI depending on the non x11 algo's and the fact that bitcoin may likely be 7500-10k when this is released. That will undoubtedly make these things worth a ton to resale. My initial thought was to resale 1 of my 3 if I could recover the total cost which based on prices for d3's and other asics seemed fairly reasonable.

[Steven3iii]

That is quite big. It is the difference of a month in delivery times. Is that a reasonable time for the reason? 

[jb7032]

Who knows. All I am saying is if bitcoin trends up people will keep over paying for mining gear. D3's profitability has dropped 90% and people are still paying 3x their price for ones in hand. They are still paying 1.5 to 2x price for Nov pre orders. I feel this unit is more valuable then d3's due to the flexibility in algos. None of this matters if this product doesn't come to market or doesn't perform as advertised. Fingers crossed that they hit mid November and market stays strong.

I haven't LTC and ask them to give me BTC invoice but there is no reply.
what are you going to do?

[AppleStuff]

I used Shapeshift to transfer some LTC.
I asked for BTC instead of LTC as well, but they denied.

[dneldnel]

Baikal is well known for their delay in delivery. X10 is just another living example.

Five hours ago got the email when sleeping:
