Right I see that.  I don't want 2FA on everything, that seems excessive and annoying.  I just want the prompt to go away.  Are you saying I have to have 2FA on for every option to make it stop?

Can we please remove the "Finish setting up your Kraken account" nag from the website?  It apparently wants me to do step three "Secure Your Funds" which is setup 2FA but I have been using google auth for login 2FA for quite a long time.  If I click the "Secure" button which is what it presumably is nagging me to do, then I end up on the security tab with a nag to setup the "global settings lock" but after looking at it I choose not to.  So how do I make the "Finish setting up your Kraken account" nag go away?  I obviously do not need to "Finish setting up my Kraken account" as I have been using it for literally years already.

Eventually even 4GB won't be enough.  You have to have enough RAM to load the entire DAG into the GPU RAM.  See here: https://investoon.com/tools/dag_size

It says ETH DAG is just barely under 3GB, but 3GB cards have already started to have problems and stop working.  Very soon no 3GB cards will work at all if people even have any that are still working right now.

 

You can use third party tools like msi afterburner.

I believe at this point your GPU needs a minimum of 4GB onboard to mine Eth.

It used to be that if you dropped a decent amount (like a few k $) you could buy gear that would pay you back at least double that in a year or so (really it was even better than that in the early days).  Now though you can't even break even it seems.  People are willing to dive in with new gear with the shittiest margins, or maybe they don't even calculate it any more.  ASIC's go for much more than they are really worth now in my opinion so that I don't even want to buy the brand new ones even though I used to buy anything from a reputable company as soon as it was available.  I have a pile of old ASIC's and GPU's that really aren't worth anything now and those are just the ones I didn't resale when I upgraded.  I don't know who is making money on mining anymore.  I have a few things still running but I haven't bought anything new in like 18 months and the few things I still have going are going to be shut down before too much longer.  I have been mining continuously for just over 6 years but the day when I am doing no mining at all is fast approaching.

I'm not as familiar with ETC but can you choose your fee?  It has happened with BTC in the past where someone put the amount they wanted to transfer in the fee and the amount they wanted as the fee in the transfer portion of the transaction resulting in an enormous miner fee on the block that included the transaction.  Does ETC work this way?  Maybe someone is dumping coins to miners on purpose?

I'm going to guess he is referring to some obscure X15 coin that seems to be worth .10 on some two-bit exchange like yobit but has no actual order book depth and only like $2 a day in actual trade volume.

I look forward to being wrong though 

Totally agree.  One crap coin forking into two crap coins is not likely to make people decide to dump BTC all of a sudden.

Unless your miner is exposed directly to the internet (and that would be a bad idea if it were) then they have to be getting in from some other device on the local network.  Have you looked at the possibility that your computer or internet modem are compromised?  Is UPnP enabled on the modem?  If so disable that shit (and do a reset at a minimum but a firmware update would be better).  You seemed to indicate that you knew the IP of the hacker, it can't hurt to create a firewall rule to block them.

Where do you see these other zigminers that you mentioned?  Does Dayun even have a website?

If the SD card you have works I wouldn't mess with it.  Get a different microSD with 8GB and put the image on that one.  Then just swap the SD card and boot with the one you imaged.  Then get comfortable with the fact that qubit is what you want to mine anyway so the new algos are pointless 

You can use the SD card imaging tool that baikal provided on their google drive for the cube: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1GBwN5-i39VRzNQS28tWlpsTVk

Wow that would rock if it were true but no.  Here is my daily profitability going back a few weeks:
10/20    $3.54
10/27    $3.51
11/3    $3.23
11/10    $3.13

So for each of the dates there, the dollar value is an average of the previous 7 days.  This is 100% on nicehash with Nist5, Qubit, Quark, and X11Gost enabled.  It spends 95-98% of the time on qubit.

Maybe you missed that it doesn't do 10GH/s on all algos?

Concur.

Yes it seems like all the miner manufacturers these days price for about a year of mining to make your original investment back.  But a lot can happen in a year: more efficient miners released for the same algorithm, your miner breaks long before the year is up, coin prices crash, etc...  Doesn't seem worth buying anything anymore.

Wondering this too.

EDIT:  Did you find a link to the G28 firmware?  I can't find one.

This is obviously using the same chips as the BK-X and this unit does Groestl so I think we have the proof that Baikal has been able to mine Groestl with the BK-X.  So when do we get the firmware for that?

Well they certainly did not build the capability into the chip by accident.
