this has got to be one of the "dumbest" asics out there. you can build an amd gpu rig to mine 20MH for about the same price. sure, the power consumption is higher on a gpu rig, but it least I won't be stuck with a $5000 piece of trash when all cryptonight coins hard fork to follow monero so that they can't be mined by this thing.
im pretty sure they want to just get rid of their hardware before it becomes complete useless, suddenly the forks will only hurt people who buy this and small miners.
Baikal is for sure already building new miners for the new cryptonight algo v7...so difficulty will stay high or raise even more on all cryptonight coins
i bet my balls the hashrate grow overall cryptonight coins was by asic miners behind closed doors and the minority by botnets
