it's pretty normal difficulty on XSH - I don't see any sudden changes. On XVG they announced crowdfunding for partnership with some company and that drove the price and many people jumped on it and left some time later, as soon as the price/difficulty decreased/increased again

"directly from baikal"  - you say it like it would be an advantage, rather than hindrance... Don't mix the things. I would immediately buy your X10 for 2200 EUR ($2699) with all taxes and customs payed in Germany and resell it the same day on ebay for at least 3300EUR.
And by the way for sure it is some gold inside, cause I've just sold one already - looking forward to sell one more

the price might seem not so overpriced if you consider that you don't need to wait endless for the delivery from China, deal with Customs, CE mark, etc. And again, I think we all pretty sure that nobody of us got "new" device =)

By the way I would sell my X10 for 3800EUR, location Germany. PM me

c'mon guys, I really do not understand why are you all complaining about the price.. 7kUSD is still cheaper than the market price.  Why do you expect to get it from them 10 times cheaper than the market price. Do not forget - 1st and 2nd batch were pre-oders with the waiting time of several months(!) and it was completely new unknown product with only 3 algos - so it was also some kind of risk considered in that low price.

And again you are contradicting yourself - you want to get it cheap, but on the same time you do not want manufacturer to sell too much of them, like it was with D3. But how manufacturer shall keep his profit target in this case?
I find this price fair enough..at least for the existing X10 owners.

I noticed that every three times green LED blinks - means share accepted, only one green blink - rejected.
