Wow... so it seems like everyone and his dog and the dog's fleas all want to buy X11 ASICs right now. That includes me. I already have 1 Baikal mini-miner. I bought it about 3 weeks before the dash price went skywards. I should have bought a quad-miner obviously.
It is possible to buy the Pinidea DU-1 USB X11 ASIC but it's only 9mh/s @12W and when I look at the thread about them on this site there are too many scary posts from people who can't get them to work. Besides - they seem to only actually achieve 7-8mh/s if you do get them working, so if you buy 5 of them (which costs more than the last price for a Baikal mini-miner) you might get 40mh/s @ 60W if you are lucky.
So anyway - I got my mini-miner directly from Baikal and that is what I would recommend, when and if they ever have them in stock again. When I ordered, I used their website, placed the order, emailed them with the order number, got a price in Dash and an address to pay it to, paid the Dash, emailed them a screenshot of the confirmed transaction, then waited only about 1 week (delivery to Australia) and it arrived. I think I must have got one of the last ones available!
If I hear from them (I email them at least once a week asking when they will have more available) I will post the news here, after I have ordered a quad-miner. Unless of course they see all this demand and decide to triple the price! Which I think is entirely possible.
