BAIKAL - WHAT IS GOING ON?

[kodokbuduk]

Any update with cube purchase?

[Chan8]

I have talk with bikalminer on skype, they told me that the miner was available but when I try to but from http://www.baikalminer.com/ but I get out of stock message.

Is the bikalminer account on skype fake ?

Please let me know

thx

yeah there are a bunch of fake baikalminer sites on skype.

use the skype they have on their www page make them verify thru them ail from their to you they are still out i think thou...only order thru the legit web site!

edit: the regular english side of the site does not come up https:// secure in any way ..weird..just informed them ...that should not do that

I just got on ...no stock on the regular baikalminer site....they informed me weeks ago you are just supposed to lurk on the www site till (or if) they announce lol

Last week I finally got contact with Baikal via a Chinese chat. They are now on some Chinese holiday until April 5th. Anyway, they officially are sold out of A900's but will dispatch group orders of 35, possibly 30. A bit too rich for me but by the next day they said the batch was already taken anyway. They are bound to respond to an order of that size (or larger). If someone here is able to start a group-buy that's probably a way to go forward, I'm down for 5 of the units. PM me if you are able to administer a group-buy.

Where and when? You sure you can reach out to them and get us a guranteed pre order? If so i do half of the 30!

No, I cannot guarantee pre-order.  I actually prefer someone else administer the group buy. I can help trying to get in touch with them. To be honest they havent replied on the chat the last 2 days. Last email I got they prefer ppl order through the site - but there's no stock.  Looks like a dead end..   

thanks for the reply. same here, feels like a dead end trying to discuss any kind of pre order with them.

I don't suppose there is anyone on here in my trust circle? It is 4 days later and Baikal losing my stuff..NOW informs me in USA at 3:22 am ..that
they can process my order...

of course I thought with no reply ...it was all gone right? I mean it has been frigging 4 days!

So, of course I am BTC less now ....scratching head ..hoping because they seemed to have lost me ..they will accept a wire xfer

or anyone who has dealt with or knows me on here in my trust circle (or someone who wants to get on it quick) contact me for a 800 usd btc loan

gonna suck watching this thing fade away on the 2 hr timeline i suspect I will be given

only thing I have to convert is lisk ..and shapeshift dont' take that to convert anymore

oh well......probably did not need the toy anyway..but figured I'd see if anyone was on that I'd done deals with on the thread

that could loan me some

been one wild week with bitmain equip and now this

anyway needed to vent thanks for listening

later

I was told IF something is sitting in your cart yet (in my case 4 days later) they will get to you..sounds like they had to start over and do it by hand
damn near fell off my chair when an email pop'd up at 3am asking to confirm address and if I was ready for a final price !!!!

also the 2 hour timeline you can contact them to tell when to hit the trigger when you have your BTC ready to send..if for some reason they do and it auto logs out after 2hrs and you are stuckI had some guys I know here...send and email saying they were frigging sleeping at 3am could they get a re-do and baikal said yes...so options

thus my BTC is synching now and I should be OK but last nite in my previous post I was like WTF...in that all my BTC went to L3+'s because
I thought my one order was toast..I think they thought that was frigging amusing

anyway folk with stuff in the cart from the previous cluster of a try to get these things...that got it as far as the cart contact baikal@baikalminer.com and
type carefully if it is baikalminer(s).com the scammers will take your money. Also they like to talk to you on skype if possible so they can see you are
set when they pull the trigger on final price and you have 2 hours to pay...makes sense

so you are set you tell them..they pull the trigger (reply via email or I think skype) and blamo ...you can get off the hook after days of this wild ride

(yea...now have TWO more units I did not plan for...the extra Bitmain L3+ and now this baikal 300mh cube...frigging ramen noodles and kool aid till
the next paycheck)

i want to ask, if there is a way to mine two coins simultaneously with a-900 giant, i want to divide the hash in two coin, i see there are two thread that can mine, it should be possible in theory

If the software miner build on the Baikal allows you to enable/select specific ASIC boards, then yes, you should be able to run 2 instances of the mining software (manually) and choose what pool/coin to mine with each.  Much like Claymore, EWBF, etc allow you to choose to enable specific GPU's.   I believe the A900 has 2 x 450Mh boards.

Afaik this should be possible through sgminer itself and loadbalance strategies, though i have not tested this

yes, i know from someone how tried to achieve this but didnt get it working though

sgminer supports this via https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/blob/master/doc/configuration.md#load-balance

it might work with the latest 5.X sgminer included in 3.0 images, you might as well need to play around with the shell to get it working

The location of sgminer on the OrangePi is /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer.  The .conf file, where you will need to test your load balancing settings, is at /opt/scripta/etc/miner.conf.  These files are owned by the root user, so you'll need to sudo your text editor in order to save the file after changing it.  Be careful with the sudo command if you've not got a ton of experience under your belt.

Have fun.

Hi, from the GUI  you can try to "Add option"
left box: load-balance
right box: true
set priority in all the pool to 10 so every pool has the same hashrate

Anyone know what kind of power plug the cube needs? In the picture it looks like a 2x3(6) plug VGA 12V connector found on MB power supplies but there is no documentation on their website describing what it requires and they aren't answering email questions at the moment.

EDIT:  Sorry you didn't ask for power DRAW, you asked about power PLUG.  Appears to be standard PCIe 6pin.

I ordered mine Monday morning and it still hasn't shipped so I'll be surprised if anyone gets theirs by next Monday but I hope someone does.

[Searing]

Some people still may not know this ..so will post it again ..to cut down on the PM's I got....AGAIN... IF you have a miner still sitting in your cart after ..what is it 6 days..it is still good to
pay...a lot of folk after 4 days (myself included) without hearing from them assumed that we were S0L ....

mine just confirmed after payment yesterday...so drag your buddies back to this ..those who have lost hope..and are not following this thread anymore...

(trying to chase one guy down..but he is on 'vacation' and went 'wireless' ..ack! how can you even go that long without internet cats is beyond me)

Anyway get the word out..to those who don't frequent bitcointalk and this thread daily ..I got more then a couple pm's from my last post...just double checking here


later
