Based on Bitmains D3 at $2699 and cracking along at 15Ghz
$2699 / 15 GHz = $179.93 per GHz
So 179.93 x (Baikals 2GHz) means the Baikal price should be $359 per unit if you ignore power and algo differences
Getting the Baikals early doesnt outrun the price difference if you have to wait for the Bitmain D3
Looked at the Innosilicon A5, they claim they are not able to track the Bitcoin price to be able to ask for the correct BTC that equals the $10000 they want at the time of order. Really !
They also have a shared payment bitcoin address, very risky.
I'm a dumbshit programmer and even I have managed to offer a floating BTC value for a fixed dollar amount and can generate a new bitcoin address on the fly in my online payments.
How can they be so useless ?
