Baikal Giant N - Cryptonight, Cryptonight-lite FPGA/ASIC miner

[Wananavu99]

If you read this thread you will see that iTop also is a reseller for Baikal and a trusted source.

I've started this thread...
I know, but it cost 4500 USD back then and I'm not sure if you allowed shipping to EU, there were shipping to US only I think.

So you think you'll be able to at least recoup a portion of your cost before the fork?

[oomurashin]

I can not reference my tracking number yet!

I think like this.
They are desperately mining now and will send me N which is no longer needed once Monero finishes v7HF.  
I will not buy it from asicminermarket.com again.

we have lowered our price to 2700 USD and anyone with a developer background knows you cannot just jump into a fork without thoroughly testing on a testnet. And also there is great risk involved, and this is crypto anything can happen. Bitcoin had this decentralized vision before ASIC’s also. This vision of CPU mining and it also evolved as other algorithms will evolve into ASIC mining. This ecosystem favors the bold and the risk taker but making the wrong decisions you can end up rekt. It’s hard to say at this point what could happen but never ever listen to the crowd. Crypto isn’t going away. Pandora’s box has been opened. There is a new future coming, a new asset class. Some say you will not recover but maybe that’s because their strategy sucks. Maybe they can’t hodl, maybe the only see what the markets are showing them today. My best advice is do lots of research. Make lots of new friends and listen to the chatter. Understand that some chatter might just be someone’s agenda. Most important thing to consider is what risk can you afford. Be patient and humble.
Best to you all.

I think I have lot of time with ETN My friend is really excited to play with it, hope he can OC it a lot If it's true FPGA it should be no problem to update, there are no big changes, Baikal would fix all these trust issues with firmware update also.

Baikal N for 1590usd in stock. Is it still a bad price?

Check out this site for profitability, but if I were you I'd do my research on reddit, twitter, and on other forums.  Make sure you know what you're getting into, but with the fork you might as well be throwing away cash for an over priced brick tbh....

The fork is a complicated event. The questions are:

1) when will the form happen FOR REAL?
2) how many coins, after monero will fork?
3) How many coins will not?

These 3 crytical variables are the ones that should be taken in consideration when buying the Giant N or the Halogen x1/x2. They could be and remain money machines or be just not so good looking doorstoppers.

Anyone has an answer to my previous 3 questions?

1. http://xmr.noctism.com/ (countdown...7 days)
2. The others will follow very shortly, they just need to merge the changes into their codebase
3. Very few. Not worth mentioning. 95% or more of Cryptonight network is forking real soon.

You will get your miner, eventually,  you saved hundreds buying it from asicminermarket, but that comes at a cost, they are possibly mining on it till the fork, then theyd send it. Its an asic, a weak one, and tiny in comparison to others. It would have separate cores to run the Cryptonight lite algo. It cant be updated to cryptonight v7.

1. I doubt its FPGA. No comfirmed sources yet, all just rumors
2. Monero will fork twice a year. I doubt Baikal is willing to keep upgrading that often.
3. Even if it does, Monero devs hate ASICS with a passion. I am 100% sure if Baikal tries to update the devices regulary they will take more drastic measures. For instance something like x16r algo.

The bottom line is if the coin devs wan't to fuck up ASICs they can and manufacturers can't do anything about it. Thats why I am sticking to GPU mining. I can always mine something no matter what and I can addapt to any situation. Lesser gains but way lesser riscs.

asicminermarket.com still sell FAKE ASICs. 

[ikicha]

Yeah, Bitmain and Baikal has been mined Monero (or all cryptonight coin) from couple month ago before sell.
Every cryptonight coin is MUST forked to prevent ASIC.
All cryptonight coin will be prepairing to forked new pow algo, i'll support them

asicminermarket.com send me FAKE DHL NUMBER

lost my 3800USD

Mine is not working either.

why do you order from asicminermarket.com? They have very bad reputation and a lot of claims of scaming ppl.

Because there weren't another options that day, with delivery to EU and only 1 pc.

Any update?

Is your tracking number still showing invalid?

I ordered mine on the 13th of March and no contact since...

Same shit. Fake tracking number. At this point flying out there and picking up my miners in person may make more sense.

are you sure thats even legit site, they might be selling fog.

I am urging Asicminermarket.com to tell the correct number by email, but I have no reply.
They need to teach that they can not buy credit with money. BITMAIN company may be better just to sell on time.
I will continue to promote, but hope will be thin.


By the way, are there already products in other sellers? Is it @Blockhunter or @bittaw place?

we have a good reputation and will always be that way. I feel bad that so many chose to try for the best price for a premium product. The old saying holds true if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. But if you are in need of a good source you guys can send our sales team a message james@itop-Corp.com

As soon as I sent to asicminermarket.com "I want to buy" with a different email address, a reply came.

[alizali]

is there anyone here have the baikal GN and power it and turn it ON and mine with it?

[Edj125]

I ordered a Giant B from them on January 2nd.

It shipped Jan. 22.

That was pretty good. Did you receive the correct tracking number?
I also bought GiantB's first batch from Bittaw, but it was also delivered at the end of January.

Yup, and it arrived in just 2 days from China to Texas, USA

Very strange behavior of BAIKAL. Here is a lot of claims from asicminermarket.com buyers, which ruin the BAIKAL reputation, too.
If they announce who is their real distributor, resaler or dealer, and who is a scam artist, buyers will be more protected.
They know, to whom they sell their units. It is very easy for them  to point on scam business. If they want. With such situation it looks like that they support this practice.

many people warned here about asicminermarket, next time listen to the people
