Baikal miner Problems,Tips and Help

Here you can post your issues about baikal miners and some help for figured out the Problems some miners have! First i want you to know the orangepi Images on the support page from baikalminer.com figured out the most Problem if the miners dont work! They update the support page asap when Updates come out! The orangepi Image have one 3,9GB and one 8,2GB the 3,9 GB Version have sgminer 5.2.2-b and the 8,2GB Version have sgminer 4.9.4 on it! The 3,9GB Version brings 2 Mhs more! But for me all 2 versions dont support nicehash pools anyway and i dont know why! I write an email on the baikal support and lets see how this going i keep you up to date!

Had some issues before with nicehash on baikal miner.
Don't know if this will help you but it might have to do something with dns.

Lookup the ip to the nicehash server and use that in you settings.
It worked for me and after that it also seemed to connect to the nicehash adress.

Good luck!

have you the ip for x11 server ?

Depends on your location.
Try ping to the adress of nicehash it will return the ip adress.

My A900 had issues mining at nicehash. It would go good for 12-48hours or so and then 1 of the mining units in it would stop and go to 0mhs in the dashboard. The other would still show ~450mhs but it would show 0 activity in the live graph and my nicehash address would show there wasn't any mining. I'd have to go the the miner and restart it (and actually before restarting the blue light was flashing like when it starts up). This happened a handful of times

I switched to only mining at a x11 dash pool and its been fine since!

No problems here on nicehash.

It looks like a connection problem but there are no logs available on the baikal(stock firmware) so you need to enable logging from sgminer to adress the problem.

The best reason is when i Connect about MMR to Nicehash it works ! Seems its issue in the image or else !

Looks Like Nicehash support now Works again with directly connections with baikal miner !!

Hello
I have a Baikal Giant that was shutdown by an electricity cut.
But now when I turned ON the blue ligth dont stop flashing.
And when I login to the web interface It say me No devices running.
I try to restore the sd with baikal soft and I try to switch masterboard but always same problem.
Maybe someone have an idea ?
I will contact baikal.

yes but you can try the new 4 gb too

The problem was my firewall Angry

I can not see the eu nicehash pools too, the rest is working fine. Technically this must be an ip ban,no? Any advice?

One more thing, if miner cant connect, there might be no working pools on the list, for me that was the issue, not the sd image, tough with the 3.0 algo switching is working again, but the eu nicehash problem is still there ,have no idea

Nicehash support works now i think it was an issue from nicehash but dont know exactly but fuck it ,it works now

Hi Lafu, I have trouble connecting to nicehash as well.
May I know is it you solved by flashing the old version? Does it relate?

Or do you think it is just some random connection issue?

For me i update or flash the old image with new but still have the connection problem but after one day i restart the miner and its work again looks like feel magic !
