Re: Baikal Giant N - Cryptonight, Cryptonight-lite FPGA/ASIC miner
just received mail from Bitmain 
We are proud and happy to announce that we are launching the all-new Antminer X3, a new Antminer model for mining cryptocurrencies based on the hashing algorithm CryptoNight.
The Antminer X3 delivers a minmum hashrate of 220KH/s while consuming 550W of total power.
To prevent hoarding by certain users or resellers and to ensure that more individual miners in different time zones around the world are able to order this new ASIC miner, we have made some changes:
There is a limit of one miner per user for all orders in the current (two) batches.
We will release both these batches with an equal stock thrice today: at 3PM, 6pm and 9PM (15 March, GMT+8). >

But it's $12000 USD for the first batch. Holly Crap! But, payback in 61 days at current rates. Which I'm sure will drop once they start hitting the network.
Someone would have to be smoking some really good stuff to buy that @ 12k with all the upcoming changes to CN algo....Oh with a mid/late May delivery too
