Ask the technical support of the page, would also be interested

Did you actually get one of these? Is it a real machine?

Yes its real. I have one baikal 150mh and don't know how to solo too

it is real. I have one mini miner. Working well.

Check the topic to see which pools are supported which I have tested so far. Some pools are no any miners. So you can do solo mining.

Awesome, got one ordered last night and it is on its way to me already.  Should be here Friday, I am really excited to get it, and it was a breeze working with Bailal, really good company.

The Baikal is really good. They help you during the order and delivery.

The miner also works well. I have never seen any problem.

ROI is the only problem. It's over 1 year.

Never seen these?  How have they been mining for everyone?  Whats the power draw at the wall at optimum settings?  Any info would be helpful thanks

Nevermind found the specs...but cant seem to see how much they are.  Is there any quantity discounts?

Try to chat with their representative via the skype account that you can find at their website. I ordered 2 units over the skype, both has been shipped to me with no issues.

Hi OSMIUMCOIN

(Not sure why I can not quota your post..)

Thank you for your interest on baikal miner.

Solo mining is not recommended by baikal, cause the setting is too difficult for normal users.  Solo mining: baikal miner setting+wallet setting, if you can not set wallet setting, them is not cable to solo mining. 

Any questions you can contact us directly by Email: baikal@baikalminer.com or Skype: baikalminer

Baikal

Can you provide the baikal miner settings in case someone tries to look it up later? That way it is on record here at least. I understand your point about having to have wallet settings configured a specific way, but the settings for the miner could be helpful.

Hi Ncsupanda,

I will ask our engineer and see if him can get a time to finish the machine setting for solo mining, we will publihs it to our website once we done!

For setting of Baikal miner, I would say this can't be more esaier. lol! even for a beginner.

Here's I leave a link that will delivery you to one topic of official dash community, you can find the manual for setting.(my level is not enough for posting any image..)
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/x11-asic-baikal-mini-miner-spec.8932/    Just keep scrolling down to the middle page, you will find that.

Sincerely.
baikal

thanks for answer , still no config for solo mining :(

Although it is not advisable, to let the user of each machine do what he wants, to stop saving information and to put a tutorial of how it is done ;)

any news for solo setup config BAIKAL miner  ???

From what I can tell you can input pool configs.

Just configure a wallet and daemon properly;  sync the blockchain, then point the miner at it via the settings when you configured it...  same as any pool operator would do per-coin they mine.

A lot to sell machines and no support >:(

Baikal miners is made for pool mining not for solo mining.
If you want to make solo mining, create your own pool.

One miner device is not good at making solo mining. So, the baikal miners is for pool mining. If you have many baikal miners, just make a pool.

I paid 500 USD for the mini miner. After one month, the price of the mini miner dropped to 300 USD. But I dont cry for this. This is normal. They made a new asic device and they dropped the mini asic devices.

I responded to a pm with this info in slight more detail.

It works the same solo or pooled.  It mines.

Share reward freq is what you are referencing; which is not what he's specifically asking for (solo).

 :) So does anybody know here how to solo mine and setup the miner to mine into a wallet?

if so please let us know?

has anybody been successful to do so?

 

baikalminer.com is a CROOK and a SCAM (s or no s, they are all BULLSHIT)

I have been ripped off from baikalminer.com for $4676 and want you share my HORROR story so hopefully you don’t end up getting ripped off.  STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM BAIKALMINER.COM !!!  After weeks of research on Google and Youtube, I thought the Baikal Miner would be a good investment mining Dash coins at 300 MH/s using only 75 Watt of power.  Boy was I in for the biggest SCAM and RIPOFF and RIDE of my life!!!  After one month of Baikal Miner hustling and scamming me, he stole $4676 and I am now stuck with a defective Baikal Miner Cube.  I am now still SHOCK and SO DISGUSTED of these people!  This is why they don’t accept credit card or paypal.  Just bitcoin, dash or ethereum.  I don’t think there is any recourse or any way you can get the coins back from these people!

On April 11, 2017, I pulled the trigger and sent baikalminer 0.7216068 BTC which equals to $876.02 USD.  These people are very difficult to deal with and very slow to respond on email.  Worst, they only take bitcoin and they are located halfway around the world in China.   So this made me very concern.  8 days later on April 19, the unit arrived at my home.  I emailed Baikal on what power supply to use and they won’t recommend which power supply to buy or send me an ebay or Amazon link, they just said 12V 10A.  I searched on Google, Amazon and ebay and end up buying 3 power supply from Amazon and ebay.  The first P/S came home the end plug was too big and did not fit.  Then a couple days later the two P/S I ordered on ebay arrived and this one fit.  You would think spending $876 on a little box with a fan, heatsink and circuit board they would include a P/S.  The box did not come with any manuals so I had to google to find the CUBE.pdf manual and figured everything out myself.  When first powered up and log in with the default password baikal, the miner show down.  It looks like they still have their dash wallet address on there.  I setup an account on coinmine.pl and dash.suprnova.cc and added my account and dash wallet address to the Baikal Pool page.  Doesn’t matter what I do, the miner still show down.

On April 24, 2017, I emailed baikal@baikalminer.com.  The following day, they email back ask me to skype them.

On Skype, they did not offer any technical support or troubleshooting at all.  They kept on insisting I download and read the CUBE.pdf file.
http://www.baikalminer.com/cn/down/CUBE.pdf  Their support is shitty!  Then they wanted me to ship the unit back at my expense to repair it.  I wasn’t happy at all!!!  To make me happy, they offered a Quad unit at a discounted price.  The miner cube is $800 + $76 Shipping.  Total is $876.  Quad is 4 miner cube so $800 x 4 = $3200.  I already paid for the first miner cube so I just need to pay for the difference of $2326 and I have to ship the defective unit back.  I wasn’t happy paying more at a full price when I already received a defective unit.  So they offer 5% discount + free shipping + power cable at $2166 more + $876 I originally paid.

>4/25 Ok I will deduct the same so that you can pay the shipping price from your end for that cube.
>4/25 3196-870 = 2326$
>4/25 But you have to ship the product to us.
>4/25 Does it make you happy..
>4/25 Ok as this is our fault we give the 5% + free shipping and power cable = 3036- 870 = 2166

On April 27 and 30, 2017, I sent them $2150 to upgrade to a Quad Cube ($900 in ETH and $1250 in BTC).  As of this date, I have sent them
$3026.02.

On May 1, 2017, they offer me two baikal quads for $2400 instead of instead of $3400 .

>5/1 Ok after lot of considerations in your case we feel like the fault is from our end only.
And to do the compensation for that if you are interested we ship out two baikal quads in which you have already paid for one and for the second one we give you 25% off + free power cables and shipping. So you have to pay 2400$ instead of 3400$ I this this makes you a happy customer.
What do you say.?
>5/1 This is only one time offer please don't consider this discount in future just to make sure you should be happy we are offering this and please post this any where in social media.
As people will start bargaining..
This offer for you also only once from next time please don't ask us as definitely we don't give any offers anymore.
Definitely you don't need to worry this time as I personally test the products which we are going to send you.


>5/2 Hello my friend we have received your payment
But we had an issue with our financial tem.
In the morning our jr accountant accepted that you can pay 1600$ later but from afternoon we had so many discussions and our Sr accountant is not agreeing for more than 1000$ credit to a customer and blaming me for giving such credit after 25% discount.
Some how I managed by telling that customer lost a lot because of the machine problem and managed to give you 1200$ or with huge extra offer.
Because we consider the money which we get before the shipping and after shipping we always will be having 50:50.

Case1) pay 1000$ and pay nothing except shipping the old product.
So here for second quad you will be getting 3400-1600 = 1800$ total to pay(800 already paid and balance 1000$). Close to 47% off on total for the second machine.

Case 2) pay 400$ now and remaining 1200$ after shipping.

This is just to make sure that it is fine at least we don't make profit but we should not lose money by selling.
We sell our products through out the world and you are an individual customer for us.
I hope you understand our Sr accountant concern.
Please think for a while and let me know which case suits well so that I will proceed and also please be hurry so that tomorrow morning hours I would like to ship them. Thanks.

On May 2, 5 and 6, 2017, I sent them a total of $1650 in BT and ETH.  After sending them the last payment, they said to me on skype “Hi my friend please contact us via email for the confirmation. thanks.” And this is when the HORROR begins.  I email them at baikal@baikalminer.com and they just pay dumb and said they never received my $$$ BTC and ETH. 

05/02/17 Paid $800 BTC
05/05/17 Paid $550 ETH
05/06/17 FINAL payment $300 BTC

baikalminer.com and all other baikalminer web site and all of the baikalminer on skype are the SAME people.  They will hustle you in sending bitcoin, dash coins or Ethereum coins.  They will steal your coins and you cannot do anything about it like me!  I am very unlucky and very stupid to trust them!  DON’T buy anything from Baikal Miner or any other web site or anyone on Skype.  They are all the same people.  I will attached screen capture of my skype conversion with Baikal Mining and emails so you can read for yourself and share with families, friends, co-worker and the mining community.  I FEEL SO SICK INSIDE.  These people have stole $4676 of my hard earn money.  VERY VERY SAD!  Don’t know what else to do.

If Bailkal team put the PSU with the miner, you will have trouble on the customs. Baikal team knows it. So they dont put the PSU. You know CC documents and certifications etc. Baikal team tells they will not send any PSU. In our country, The customs wants lots of document for the PSUs. Yeah it will be so good with the PSU. But they dont offer any PSU. This is default and you know before buying Baikal miners.

I have bought mini and cube miner. The mini miner doesnt have connector. But the cube miner came with a connector which you can connect a suitable adaptor. But I dont use it. The cube miner has 6 pin PSU connector. I used usual PSU to power the Baikal miner. (Note: If you use 12v but lower A for the Baikal miners, The miner shows mining status good but you cannot see anything on the connected pool.) You have to use correct A for the miner. And the usual PSUs are enough. No need to buy any special PSU.

The package is really good. The device is safe in the package. There is a PDF manual for Baikal miner. The Baikal team dont put any document except invoice to the delivery package. I think this is important for the customs. So you can get your package from the customs easliy. If you contact with the Baikal team, they will send the manual via skype. Yes they answer late but you have support.

When you get the miner, of course there will be the wallets of the baikal in the settings. The antminers is the same. This is for the test. They tested the miner before sending you. So you must start the miner with the default setting. See what happen and miner works well, Then change the settings to yours.

I think your miner is not out of order. Please check the PSU. if your PSU doesnt have good A, the miner will fail. I know because I faced with this problem. But I found the solution on my own.

the miner devices is not for easy-to-use devices. You have to know somethings to operate them like GPU rigs.

The discounts and premises: I have nothing to say. This is between the baikal team and you. I hope you will find a solution for your problem.

If you send coins, please share the txids. The baikal team is reliable. They will not steal the money of someone else. After clearing all the things, if you dont want miner and you want your money, I can send coin to your wallet and I can get the miner for myself. Of course if the baikal team accept this situation.

It sounds like you were not dealing with the real baikalminer on skype.  There is only one legit baikalminer account on skype.  All of the other skype accounts are scammers and you probably wound up talking to one of the scammers.  Honestly though I still blame baikal for this.  No decent company does business through skype in the midst of a dozen scam accounts where their customers have to be very careful or very lucky not to get ripped off.

I never had any problems with Baikalminer.com , support was fine and fast and all worked fine get my baikal in about 7 days with no problems !

Sorry to know this.

If you did made the payment to us, please show the direct evidence of payment to us, we will check for you right now.

We always recommend to multiply check weather you are talking to the right person when you are making payment. and we also provide you the link "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1804508.0" for guiding you how to identify official skype.

I strongly understand what you feel right now, and we did feel sorry about it. But it is not fair and infantility to blame ourself's mistake to others. Be careful next time and learn from it.

I have been in plans of really buying a baikal miner and after knowing what happen to Danny's situation, I am now having second thoughts. But still no proof just a text showing sequence of events.

Hi did this ever get completed? Can you provide solo minining config settings please?

has anyone figured out if solo mining on a Baikal mini miner is possible?  I feel like i've tried everything but cannot get it to mine the particular coin I'm interested in.
