This miner is able to mine Decred which means its in direct competition with Obelisk DCR 1 ASIC HASHRATE: 1500+ GH/S DCR1 and the Miner from DCRASIC the Minotora turbo 3TH all mining Blake 14r. All these miners to be released by June ? Unless Baikal beats them to the punch which may be the case. This should be quite interesting .
Also this miner is able to mine Sia coin blake 2b which will compete against the obelisk miner they are releasing in june spec 800 ghs.
so it all depends on when baikal is releasing their giant B? Because when your mentioned miners hit the market, gian-b will became obsolete.
Well I think yes because Baikal is using FPGA chips @ 160ghs while Obelisk is using a full custom ASIC 28 nm which is faster at 1500 ghs and then theres DCRASIC using a semi custom 16nm at 3 ths. So this will be all about timing. Both Obelisk and DCRASIC have announced miners to be completed around June 6 months is very long time so if Baikal can produce these miners by February these can be very profitable for a limited time. The final question is will Baikal release miners to customers right away or hold them for self mining for a month it can make all the difference any delay in delivery can fack everything up on these miners.
How do you know is FPGA? they always response is not.
