That is odd.  You're the only person I have heard say this.  They are not good at returning emails from what I have seen but when I did get the skype conversation going they did respond and update my order appropriately, both when I asked for a payment address and when I sent the confirmation screen shot.  Not even sure why they need the screen shot though, they can check it out themselves.  

I did have one hiccup though, they put the wrong tracking number in my order on the website.  I contacted them in skype and told them and they responded with nothing but a smiley face emoji and then they logged off.  I sort of wondered if the person on skype didn't understand me, like maybe they didn't understand English very well or something.  The person I dealt with through skype to arrange the payments seemed to understand English well enough though so I don't know.  I imagine they are busy with a lot of interest in their hardware.

Did you by any chance try their after sales email address?  They had two different ones on the website, one for presales and one for after sales support.

If my math is correct (which it may not be) that's like $220k at the current price.  But there isn't actually 5mil on the sale side of the order book on bittrex so you couldn't actually buy them anyway.  Is the idea that there are going to be almost no masternodes?  Fewer masternodes will mean only the rich get to vote (assuming masternodes will function that way and not just be very expensive pos miners in which case they will just function to make the rich even richer).

Thank you! I think I have a better picture.  So there are other p2pool nodes for MUE then I take it?  And what is the share time on the side chain for MUE?  Is it still 30 seconds?

So when e-pool page says "no shares yet" is it referring to a share with a high enough difficulty to be included in the p2pool side chain?

Thanks for responding but I don't understand why I would be paid for a bunch of pool blocks in a row and then suddenly not paid for a bunch of pool blocks in a row.  I am clear with the concept of being paid according to my contribution but my contribution was more than nothing for all the blocks where I was not paid.  At 50Gh my contribution would be about 0.6% of the pool.  

Try this:
URL: stratum+tcp://x11.usa.nicehash.com:3336
Algo: X11
User: <any BTC address>
Pass: x
extranonce: checked
Priority: 0

Honestly it sounds like something is wrong with the miner but the above stuff should at least show if you can connect to a pool.  Just put your BTC address for the user name.

I am mining MUE and for some reason my address keeps showing "no shares yet" and then I don't get paid for many blocks.  When I first started mining it was doing that but then it changed to an estimated payout and then I was paid for 10 or 15 blocks, but now it is back to "no shares yet" and no payouts for the last 10 blocks or so.  I can see the miner is submitting shares that are being accepted.  Can anyone explain this behavior?

EDIT: Actually I was paid for 30 blocks in a row before payouts stopped.  Now I count 12 blocks that the pool has found without paying me anything.

EDIT2: So I went 22 blocks without a payout.  I am referring to 22 blocks found by the pool for which I received nothing despite having been mining here the whole time.  I restarted my miner about 10 minutes ago and after some time my estimated changed from "no shares yet" to a number and I received another payout.

Are you sure you jumpered the PSU correctly?  I've jumpered a ton of different PSU's with a wide range of wattages and never had one that had a problem so I don't think it has to do with only using the 12v.

To set up static IP on your cube do the following.

SSH into the miner with user/pass: baikal/baikal

The command below opens a text editor for the file you want to modify:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Add some lines like what I have in the code box below (modified accordingly for your network).  I added these below the line that starts with "source-directory" and above the lines that all start with the # symbol.

Hit ctrl+x to exit the editor

It will ask you if you want to save, hit y to save

It will ask you for the file name but it will default to the one you are already editing so just hit the enter key to confirm the default

At this point you can run "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces" again to confirm the file now contains your changes if you want, but if you did everything correctly you don't need to.  Restart the miner with the power switch and it will come up on the new static IP.

BTW, it seems likely that with the appropriate changes made in that file you could also enable and configure the wifi and use the miner wirelessly.

Thanks for that.  These things are so new there probably hasn't been a ton of troubleshooting or experimentation with them yet.  Here is the user guide if anyone needs it: http://www.baikalminer.com/cn/down/CUBE.pdf

Going to try and set static IP on mine, will post results in this thread.

I did get mine about 30 minutes ago and it is up and running powered by PCIe from corsair PSU.  So yes, normal PSU PCIe 6 pin power works fine.

Since they are out of stock you could just email them and ask them.  My guess is that you could probably do one per email address as long as you pretended the email addresses were different people, which means if they were actually different people then it should work to.  I doubt they do more than copy and paste for shipping info so they may not even notice if you shipped several to the same address unless they happened to process the orders right in a row.  On the other hand, when the next batch comes out they may raise the limit on how many you can buy and make this whole discussion less meaningful.

Geez I hope not, that's exactly what I am planning to do.

Well I thought mine was arriving today (maybe it is) but I didn't notice that the tracking number attached to my order has a package going somewhere on the other side of the country.  Now that it is out for delivery in Miami Florida I suddenly noticed.  So someone in Miami is apparently getting one today.  Too bad I'm more than a thousand miles away from there.

I don't have any MSI's but there are some threads around here expressing discontent with the quality of the MSI rx 4xx cards.  Just FYI.

Be careful with people in this thread.  It looks very likely that there are scammers posting here.  Baikal only just released first batch of cubes and only sold one per customer so people who say they have multiple cubes for sale are probably lying.

What is vega?

Yeah I saw that the DU-1's were showing in stock until recently.  They seemed to switch to 'out of stock' at about the same time that the DR-3 got a big 'sold out' plastered on top of the thumbnail image.  Prior to that they had been telling me that the DR-3 would be back in stock.

I hope you get your miners.  Actually I kind of suspect that you will eventually.

I've gotten everything I ever ordered from them but they were really slow about it.  But not a whole month slow, more like several weeks slow.  They also stopped responding to my emails about a month back, but I haven't gotten bouncebacks on the emails, just no response.  Prior to that they had been responding to my emails at least.  I had been asking about when they would have more miners and they kept saying they were coming but then they stopped responding and I figured they decided to mine for themselves since DASH went up so much.  Then everything on the website was switched to 'sold out' or 'out of stock'.

I would think that if they went full scammer mode they wouldn't prevent people from ordering on the website, can't scam people if you don't accept their payments.  

I like the tin foil hat theory advanced in the other thread that they actually pushed the price of LTC up themselves just before they started offering these to the public.  The timing is very coincidental.  Also, they had announced the original L3 a long, long time ago but then basically cancelled them.  So if they followed through on making them back then and then used them for themselves instead of selling them, they will have been mining with them for quite a long time now.

Also, I have stated elsewhere that I believe part of the price support for BTC comes from the cost of miners.  People who invest a million dollars in a mine do not sell the coins mined for peanuts.  If there are millions invested in scrypt mining gear it will help to prop up the price of LTC and other scrypt coins.
