Baikal X10 mines X11 algorithm, which is a chain of 11 different algorithms. All of the other algos that the X10 supports are made out of the same pieces that X11 uses, which is why they are available. The chances that the ZigMiner supports anything but lyra2rev2 are slim to none.

If the voltage regulation on these are the same as the PinIdea RR-210, there is no programmatic control available.

Claymore has not updated his Sia code to handle the new algorithm changes. Decred, LBRY and Pascal are all dominated by ASICs, thus there is no point in doing dual mining.

Utility depends on the difficulty your miner is currently set to, so the value is not consistent.

You can believe what you like, but if they're the same revision and the same firmware, it's a silicon lottery issue.

Pointless now, ASICs in the space of all of the core-heavy algorithm coins.

Please share your custom firmware so we may review it.

It isn't open source, and it still has many references to Bitmain within.

None, it's useless.

dmd-groestl is likely, dunno about verus.

Or do buy them, just be aware of the slim chance of ROI. BTC

They do not have a monopoly on hardware, though. There are many vendors of ASIC miners these days, and Bitmain's SHA256 miners are actually among the least efficient available.

I suspected as such, thanks for confirming.

Only fools thought it would be impossible. Anybody with a clue knew that it would just take time for the chip dev ROI to make sense.

You would still need the DRAM the algorithm requires, which is unlikely to even be addressable on a MCU.


Custom replacement software won't make a difference, because all the mining software is doing is sending jobs to the ASIC boards and receiving valid nonces back.


This is completely different from what you insinuated earlier, and would work perfectly fine, of course. The ASIC boards simply interface over serial ports, this much is universal to miners even from other vendors. There is a caveat preventing mixing and matching hashboards on Bitmain devices natively though, it would require new driver code for cgminer as Bitmain hardcodes most of their changes to be device-specific. If you run two copies of cgminer, as it sounds like you're doing, it should operate fine - although I don't know why you'd ever want to run a V9 hashboard unless you had free power. Even then, it's mighty slow.

The AVR is not even a FPGA, it's just a standard CPU...

Yeah, the V9 utilizes the same ASIC design as the S7, Bitmain just ordered a new run of those chips under a new model number for whatever bizarre reason. Fundamentally impossible for it to handle equihash at the core level, nevermind the fact that there isn't any DRAM present either.

Any managed PDU will work, check APC, Tripplite, Cyberpower, Raritan for options. There are interfaces to toggle power via HTTP API or SNMP.

Supposed to be secret information, surprised it hasn't been leaked yet.

How do you have your miner connected to the internet? Is it behind a firewall?
