Wow just checked and difficulty has aready doubled. I feel for the people that paid 10k+.

Will next batch price be reduced?

Overall the Baikal Giant B miner has gone from $400/day to $256/day just after its release.
The one algorithm Giant B uses that pays the most by far is Lbry,  the other algorithms just don't perform with the device.
Checking profitability of each algorithm mined on Baikal Giant B gives:   api.nicehash.com

Algorithm                Hash Rate            Power                

Blake256R14        160GH +/- 10 %    410W +/- 5%            
Blake256R8          160GH +/- 10 %    260W +/- 5%            
Blake2B                 80GH +/- 10 %     300W +/- 5%          
Lbry                       40GH +/- 10 %      400W +/- 5%      
Pascal                   40GH +/- 10 %      210W +/- 5%      





This isn't accurate either.

Check out whattomine.com before making these claims. Nicehash is based on people buying hashing power and the prices you'll get are always lower and/or always fluctuate based on hash demand.
With current difficulty, you will earn $385USD/Day mining direct through a multi-algo pool (+/- 2-5% for pool and auto exchange fees) - no not even a 20% drop.

As someone who bought in Batch 2, i dont want to see profitability drop anymore - but at the exact same time, being disingenuous isn't fair to those here either.
