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.

Actually , the other algos are pretty decent with this machine . Pascal has a ROI of just 35 days . Decred is 90 days until the Obilesk come out in 6 months . Blake and Sia do better than most SHA-256 Asics as well . However , IMO the $12,000-$20,000 prices need to drop to under $10,000 to make it worth considering .
