Title: Baikal BK-N240 - CryptoNight + CryptoNight-Lite miner
Post by: kahc on May 23, 2018, 01:47:27 PM
So it finally happened.
Baikal with their new miner, a little late and less energy efficient than Bitmain's X3.
But hey X3 is sold out, so I guess some lost souls will probably buy this device.
Adding the CryptoNight-Lite algo doesn't really add anything valuable to it at all.


CryptoNight                
240kh/s   650W

CryptoNight-Lite   
480kh/s   630W

dont buy this. etn will fork soon too...then there will be only few shitcoins & bytecoin left for all asics that are currently delivered + they batches that will be delievered.
you will never earn your money back

Aeon will fork, making these far less special.

I believe this is actually FPGA and can be firmware updated...not your average ASIC machine...there may still be great value in these units. Especially if a home dev manages to find a hack for v7 or heavy. Cryptocurrency is an uncharted territory and a battle between manufacturers/devs and the altcoin devs is well underway.

Do you know where i can find firmware for Innosilicon a8+ to make him dual mining for cryptonight-light also? Who know about diffenses INNO a8+ and that Baikal? I think inside they are same... May be somebody try to update a8+ with baikal frimware? I want cryptonight-light double speed for my pumkin))

650W sounds unlikely for a FPGA IMHO.

A8+ is just another asic, it cant be updated to a new algo like cryptonight-light, only baikals can do cryptonight-light

Do we know if the N240 is FPGA? Could they update this to new Cryptonight V7?
