Baikal A2000s mine x13. But X13 has been excluded from the X10. They state 2 more algos will be added. Also Skein which is x13.
Baikal does not list A2000s any more. So who knows what they are up to.

Yeah, so what? A slam is the correct response besides the initial table list? Don't be a rude noob. Take note as to other paths on this thread:

If you know something, great! You don't have to crucify with it.

@Blissz, I am a hardware/firmware developer. I got the wild notion to inspect the processor board and found it to be a Beaglebone_black_v2.3, my version anyway. I went to Beaglebone.org and found the specs. This D3 version is missing some crucial parts like the usb, buttons and some other chips.
Here are links:
https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#BeagleBone_Black_Description



Now here is the internet bomb:
We all know or should that there are threads about the D3 explaining Bitmain's use of the D3 to corrupt the market against any competition. Whether this is true or not it stands to reason that the greedy operate this way. So I gave it some thought and here goes:
How could BM impact the market quickly and most efficiently? Simple repackage an existing product and the clamor of the market would make the necessary statements to promote the 'NEW' product which the public did. In this case BM didn't have to lift a finger because of the trust and product effectiveness that the S series products had gained in the market. The trap is set.
How did BM get the D3 to market? We look at the runtime specs. Fans are loud, the hashing advertisement is high for x11, the speed is high. But the overall performance / profitability is negative in most cases. Any country that has high utility prices is not a great home for these units. My suspicion is these are S9s or lower and reconfigured for x11 with a conversion routine. And why not? Nicehash, Zpool, and Prohash do it! Right?
Repurposed S7s or lower would make the best sense. Keep making lower hashrate boards and plug and play. Who would know? With the conversion the high hashrate BTC boards would easily perform the task AT THE COIN RATES THAT EXISTED AT THAT TIME. They don't perform at the time of this writing but as I said 'THE TRAP WAS SET' and purchasers are screwed, the competition is dead and the market has consumed up any single unit purchasers from ever continuing.

Two things pertaining to the hardware. I have a D3 off grid right now and an S9 on grid that I will be moving in a couple of days so I will have a look at the hash cards for similarities.
After that, if I notice that the boards are the same I will order a Beaglebone black from Beaglebone, flash and MSD image, install and try it. It cant hurt. If this works then this will be a start at opening the platform.

There is a thread about one of the developers modifying the Bitmain software but he has since disappeared.

I am open to any thought on this...

I had the same failure on receipt of a used a2000. It was the Cumcast network cable i connected. I swapped out to a CenturyLink network cable and the A2k booted right up and started mining!
Some else had posted the cable problem too. So that is where I started and ENDED! Thank you so much for pointing out the trivialty!

Ah but the saboteur has thrown the shoe in the gears. Bernie is using x14 to subsidize his lawsuit and investigation against Hillary. Now the libtards are eating each other unmercifully.
The cash flow for Bernie is unlimited which means he will prevail over the Clintards.
Tis a cruel, cruel world for blind idiots.

I have access to 2 d3s. One on Nicehash and one on Prohash. They equal out to $16/mo. $0.25/day each. Pretty sad.

I have a Baikal a2000 on Nicehash that produces $12/day on x13 so far. Yep, you read that correctly.
I also have minergate contracts that produce $6.00/day.  Yep, you read that correctly.
I have an s9 that produces $20/day. Yep, you read that correctly.
I mine Verium on my laptop. $0.25 per day. Oh well. The laptop does other things too. No loss.

The ROI calculations start with just the daily dollars 6 + 12 + 20 = 38/day. Hello?
$38/day equals $1140.00. I ran the numbers of my returns and costs just on Minergate and found I get a 7.5% return per month or 86.5% / year. Hello?

Go tell your parents you are earning 7% a month and watch the look on their face till you prove it.
U.S. banks are only paying 0.25% / year on savings. Certificates of deposit are based on S)omething H)appens I)n T)ime.

And you wanna B)ark I)ntensely T)o C)reate H)avoc?

Quit running with a sharp pencil and put your head down, now before you hurt yourself or create collateral damage.

But if you only could afford a D3 and have that now, you're screwed.

Currently the Minergate Cloud mining contracts are doing well.
I have 14 contracts paying $14.00
I have $5103.00 invested in Minergate contracts.

What I have not been able to find is the specifications about the contract agreement. Like:
1:) Am I involved for life?
2:) Do I get my investment back when Minergate decides the contract is no longer profitable?
3:) Can I withdrawal my investment from a previously purchased contract when I want cancel?
4:) Can a potential contract display the maintenance fee up front so an investor can know their ROI before submitting to a contract?
5:) I know these are contracts so how come Minergate gets to cancel but the investor can not?

I know some of these questions are inverse or opposed to each other but a simple set of FAQs would suffice.
Don't shoot the messenger. We just need answers. Should I have researched this further? Yes. But from my previous contracts is looked like great deal.
From my screen shots you can see the purchase dates.

Also in searching out any miner information the posts that could be considered current, within the last month are few. Check the dates.
Most of the current information are in blog sites. A good rule of thumb is to skip past the youtube and miner site links to get the real skinny on anything you want to achieve.
These questions need to be answered otherwise I suggest you do not get involved.



Right now as of 20171115 Minergate has not paid out. This after the BTC/BCC pitbull fight about dominance.

Or he went elsewhere as either a courtesy or just plain excused himself because:

I believe Baikal is just a bunch of engineers with no front office. It happens. The type of customer communications points to this business model.

Has any A2000 owner had trouble with the terminal not responding to any typing?

Baikal realizes that their production output has been trounced by the market competition. They therefore are negotaiting price push to keep the asic profitability up. But they are getting squeezed as the market is moving faster than they can output.

I have a Giant+ A2000. It seems to be rewarding a little low even though the hash rate pegs at 3.5gh/s. The device is rated at 2000mh/s.
It was mining X14 but when all the blocks confirmed the reward activity would shut down to zero while the device was thrashing away mining something, I am not sure.
This happened twice. The last time the device got stuck in the initialization mode. So I rebooted it and removed the x14 from the mining list.
The x11 activity is there but like I mentioned that rate is really slow. And the date is September 28, 2017 so maybe the mining market is gone at this level of device hash rate.

I am pondering putting this device back on the market for $4800usd.

Back to the x14 reference. It is Berncash.

two dots?

My turn:
Where are the pool urls posted on miningpoolhub? They are not apparent or seemingly posted anywhere on the site?
What ' NotFullyTested', again?

My Baikal A2000 automatically switches and stays locked to X14:Berncoin.
Bernie Cash! That's right. This bitch slueces to a political agenda.
For those who are going to reply 'Cant you switch it?' Save your nonsensical, idiotic breath. That is not the answer. Put your snowflake shat on the grille and call it done.
That fact remains that this platform is a political scraper. X14 is not in the mining specifications but the X14 just happens to fit the X camp. Algo hacking?

So what really is going on? This is a question posed to those that actually have an answer I can respect.
Please no unintelligible blather or just repeating something you seen. Save that for Facebark. I will give you a faceplant now. Save your calories.
I expose this because this points to a real problem. Yeah the moneys are great. But this just makes me a coin whore and I don't need any queerleaders.

Any knowledge of this? Its not about me here and now. It is about the deep underlying infirmities of this or a potential corruption.

Caveat emptor.

I bought a Baikal A2000. It does the polling to find the greatest pool payout then mines it.
What distresses me is that the X14 Berncoin always shows the greatest payout so the A2000 switches to and drops the X11 mining.
The device stays on X14 even after all blocks have matured. My device web page shows top hash rate yet no monetary input to my Zpool account.
I had to go to the device web page to hard switch to X11. Things were stable for a while yet the payout is not as high as X14.
Then the inevitable happened. The device switched back to X14 and took off mining that again. I will watch the maturing blockchains to see if when they are all confirmed will the A2000 stays stuck on X14.
The sad thing is that the payout is great but where the 2% fee is not.
I feel the bern.

And what was the fix?

Orangepi.org shows how to place an image in an SD card.

Also the Baikal site offers an img file.

If you havent done this then take the courses on OrangePi.org.
You have stepped into a big undertaking if you have not worked with these devices before.
It can be a simple task if one has prior experience with following technical instructions.
But if you were hoping to buy an appliance and it just runs blindly then you have made a mistake.

Baikal offers an OrangePi image on the Baikal site.
There are training pages on the OrangePi.org site to help with this.
Your processor box has a brain that has been corrupted. Now you must insert another brain.

I just got a 2000 for $4800 and have it mining. It is cool to see the alto list catch the best crypto group, like x11-15 or the Quarks, qubits.
I have all the extranonces checked and am in the process of getting this mining to speed up.
I have it hooked to Zpool at the moment. I had to take it off line for a 9 hours period. I noticed when I put it back online the zpool balances dropped.
Is this because the pool was unpaid so I forfeited the ongoing unpaid?
I would like to know if there are any 2000 miners who know a better set of specs to run this unit at.

I also got a Antminer S9 for $4800. As you can tell I am hedging my crypto involvement. And yes the BTC will drop. Here is the thing: as the btc drops this will make it unfavorable against a large blockchain. I am betting that somebody will come up with flash updates to the orange pi for increasing the pool search. Somebody is always waiting to hack for the best and worst. For all you oldheads, remember when the IBM PC sales died off and IBM got out of the PC business? That is because the market opened up to other manufacturers. Well we are seeing that again. I equate the Antminers to the DEC PDP 11 series of computers and the worldwide proliferation of Unix. See where this is going?

And now the coup de grace: The silicon wafer manufs are scrambling to get graphene onto multilayer wafers. Two young guys already found how to deposition graphene onto a viscous layer of oil and other organic friendly fluids to get the graphene to float. Then they applied a light electric current to get the miniscule plates to align. Viola! This means they can print patterns. They did it with out expensive university equipment or hyperbaric/vacuum chambers. It was done on a bench top in open air. The countries that have wafer manufs have been trying to control the pollution but gave up. i.e. China air quality. We are talking cyanide, arsenic, lead, copper oxide, sulfuric and hydrochloric acid wastes. Most wafer companies are Asiatic and are huge. They will not take this bitcoin drop sitting down with such a huge available infrastructure just waiting to become clean. The industry tried to embrace eight inch wafers from the current 4 inch but the investment was too huge for many. This would have quadrupled the output and reduced the pollution. The companies that couldn't make the change just upped the production and overcame the problems with greater production and problem oversight denial. Those countries had to allow this to sustain their investment in wafer production. The failure model is the same as the auto industry. But things change and as original asset ownership switches from loss leaders to repurposing we, the consumers see change and a better market place. Just you wait and see. The Dbase programmers of the eighties made a killing on just the software. The size of the customer's computing platform didn't matter because the customers needed data processing in their business face.

This is a great upstart adventure.
Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.
