Nobody knows for sure, it does support several algorithms so the hashing power will spread and migrate between several networks. BaikalMiner is smaller company than Bitmain so I don't think they will ship in volumes that Bitmain does. If you look at their Twitter profile they only have 6k followers while Bitmain have 75k so smaller potential customer base as well.
Price is anybody's guess and it's unknown if there will be minimum order qty. Giant X10 was $1399 +$135 shipping, without MOQ. I was going to order one and was invoiced but narrowly missed out while trying to work bank fees at their end to make sure I transfer enough money it was sold out. At the time I thought maybe it's for the best as I was also assuming it could be like D3 but Giant X10 was shipping 20-30th December so most would be online by now but profitability is still great, it did drop a bit for a while but now it's gone even higher. D3 is not that bad either, it did drop to £5/day in November with £3 running costs but now they do £10-15/day again on MRR most days.
So based on this I am definitely interested in buying 1 if it's similar price as Giant X10, not sure if I would buy more than 1 or pay much more.
